Agreed! I love the custom Yoshis feature. I wish that were patched into the Wii U version.

Yeah, I think a Switch port would make a ton of sense. But I'm not really surprised they haven't ported it yet, considering that Good Feel is busy with something else right now, and Yoshi games aren't in high demand. And yeah, given the hardware limitations of the 3DS, that version of the game does look pretty solid. Just not nearly as good as the original.

Thanks! If I make more of these videos, I'm sure that will help :)

You should tune into his Friday night livestreams if possible, or his discord! It’s real cool~

yeah

I'm glad to hear that!

i see you're only at 599 at the time of this writing. let me make that 600.

Great story! And I'm glad you enjoyed the game. One of the best Yoshi games, for sure :)

And thanks for being my 600th subscriber! I really appreciate it!

@@TheYoshiFanatic No Problem! You deserve it!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

Oops... I didn't realize that. Thanks for the correction!

Better than 240p

Thank you! I always like to be very detailed in these videos :)

Thanks!

Thanks, man! Glad you enjoyed the edits :) and you're right, I have emulated a... Good amount of games. Though in fairness, most of the ones I've emulated I actually own; not all of them though. Haha. Thanks for keeping me honest!

Thanks for the tip!

Thank you!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the videos :)

You should come to his Friday night streams! They are very fun.

I came to one it was so much fun!🤩 I’ve been really trying to make to others I hope you’ll be there too 😃. I should be able to come to the Friday stream this week.😄

Sweet! I'm planning to start my playthrough of Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World tomorrow night to celebrate the release of my new video :)

I can’t wait for the livestream! 😃

Totally agreed. And not to endorse pirating, but using a 3DS emulator certainly can help the graphics for the 3DS version. Still not quite as good as the Wii U version though.

Thanks! Given you don't have a Wii U or 3DS, I'd absolutely recommend emulating Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World in Citra. Especially when you get your new computer built, you'll be in for a good time :)

Good to know, thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the tip! I think Cemu has improved its compatibility with Yoshi's Woolly World since I made this video. I tried playing on Cemu again a few months ago, and it was a much better experience than I had before. Still, I'll try enabling async shaders and using Vulkan and see what happens. Thanks again!

It's definitely a good looking game, despite the downgraded visual fidelity on the 3DS. Probably one of the 3DS's better looking games :)

I see, thanks! It was hard to put what I was seeing to words, but you hit the nail on the head.

Good point. I never use mellow mode, so I usually forget to talk about it. Do you know if there are any differences in mellow mode between the two versions? I feel like I remember being able to throw the Poochy Pups in the 3DS version.

@@TheYoshiFanatic Oh, Wii U has it too? Sorry, I just got the 3DS version a few days ago, and 90% of my time has been spent making custom Yoshis.

@@ShimmeringVapidCoal yeah, Wii U had mellow mode too. Glad to hear you're having so much fun with the custom Yoshis! I wish they patched that feature into the Wii U version.

@@TheYoshiFanatic Thanks! I was a bit upset that they didn't support Pokémon amiibo though. At least I'm able to make my own.

I'd imagine so. It's been a while since I last checked, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's improved. Glad it's working well for you!

You probably could. I haven't homebrewed my Switch yet, so I don't know for sure either. All I know right now is that it works pretty well on my PC. If I ever homebrew my Switch, that'll be one of the first things I try!

@@TheYoshiFanaticso if you ever plan on modding it just know that the hos version of citra runs better than the l4t ubuntu version, and probably the android one too

Good to know, thanks!

I can understand that, especially since, as you said, the art style is one of the key characteristics of Yoshi's Woolly World. As far as porting the game to the Switch is concerned, I don't think that it's necessary, but I sure would enjoy it, and I think it would sell well, and to most people, it would be a new game. I don't think it would be good to port the game in a year where there's a stack of new releases, but I wouldn't mind seeing it in a slow year to help fill in the release schedule.

@@TheYoshiFanatic The problem I have with porting games is that I feel like the Switch relies to heavily on ports like there is no new Mario Kart game on the system.

I hear you there. And there are a lot of Wii U ports. But there's also a lot of Switch exclusives. I feel that they've struck a decent balance between new games and ports, especially now that there are so few games left to port to the Switch. I do wish they brought a new Mario Kart game instead of bringing yet more DLC to an 8 year old Mario Kart game, but Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is more of an odd case. The Wii U ports don't usually get a lot of attention from Nintendo after initial release, which I think is the way it should be. As you indicated, Wii U ports shouldn't be a substitute for new games, and the fact we haven't gotten Mario Kart 9 is an example of Wii U ports being a problem. But they can also be a good thing, especially for games that deserve a chance on a successful console. I feel that Yoshi's Woolly World is one of those games.

@@wiiu-theunderratedconsole7569 Can't say I blame Nintendo, the lost a lot of steam from the Wii U

@@ForrestFox626 It’s not really an excuse to be lazy. They are now richer than they likely have ever been.

I guess that depends on a few factors. It can be difficult to find 3DS games nowadays (aside from used games on sites like eBay), but emulating 3DS games is more difficult now that Nintendo took down Citra, the best known 3DS emulator and the one I personally use. And it also depends on how much you're willing/able to spend. If I were in that position, I probably would buy the 2DS and the games, then homebrew the 2DS. That way you could rip the games, install them digitally onto your 2DS and save them on a computer for emulating. Best of both worlds.

@@TheYoshiFanatic I was already going to homebrew it if I got it but I never thought about ripping the games and doing that. Thanks!

No problem!

@@TheYoshiFanatic bye the way i should have put a wink wink after the legally, just thought about that, opps....

While the higher resolution of the Wii U is definitely a benefit, it may not be as obvious of a deciding factor for everyone. Still, if you prioritize the graphical fidelity of the game, the Wii U version is the way to go.

I find that's often the case with home console games that get handheld ports. Like, they seem to add the extra content to get people to overlook the graphical and audio fidelity shortcomings. That makes sense, but it also just makes it more frustrating, because if you want the complete experience, you have to play both versions. Otherwise, you're giving something up. There's not usually a definitive way to play the game. It's especially bad with Nintendo, I think, because their handheld line has been so popular over the years that it's a no-brainer to port some home console games to the portable consoles. They just never seem to bring it full circle by releasing a definitive version that has the graphical fidelity as well as the added content (a notable exception is Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition, but this is unfortunately the exception, not the norm).

@@TheYoshiFanatic Yeah, it's a shame that definitive versions of these games are rare. I played it on 3DS even though I have a Wii U because I wanted the extra content and 60fps on New 3DS was enough to keep me satisfied with the gameplay experience. But if they'd made a Switch version with the Wii U's graphics and multiplayer plus the 3DS content, I absolutely would've played that instead.

Absolutely. Like I said in the video, if they put out a Switch version, it'd be a no-brainer for me to recommend. Part of me wants to hold out hope that they will make a definitive port of the game (they've ported almost every other game from the Wii U, so why not at this point). But I also acknowledge that there's likely not a lot of demand for Woolly World at this point, so we probably won't see a Switch version. We'll just have to make do with what we have.

@@TheYoshiFanatic Yep, I agree. We'll probably never get a definitive edition but at least what we do have is pretty awesome no matter which version you pick.

Well, I'm happy to report that the 3DS version is still a good way to experience the game. It just doesn't look as pretty. Haha

@@TheYoshiFanatic It's a 3DS port. I wasn't expecting much

Happiest critic I've ever came across smh

I'm generally a pretty happy guy.

The portability of the 3DS plays a role for sure, and I regret not covering that in this video. But there are definitely some differences between the two versions that make the decision of which one to play a little more complicated.
