alright, I just beat the first 8 levels (1 world). here's my thoughts:

Pluses:

+ It's more of the same. Literally. Control is the same, level goals are the same. There's some optional non-score shit to collect, like special coins.
+ Levels are bigger and there's some clever extensions of classic YI environmental hazards and platforming.

Minuses:

- it really *is* more of the same. If you didn't like YI because you're a syphilitic distinguished mentally-challenged fellow, YI DS won't cure you.
- music is awful.
- art direction is a lot less consistent.

So far, I'm digging it. The screen separation isn't an issue so far, and I like the bigger levels a LOT. It's definitely a bit more difficult, but I also think the platforming challenges are a little more interesting, at least in the early game.

This looked like a B+ game at best.

Most of the games I like the most are B+ games.

B+ is kind of a step down from A+, though. It's like Halloween II compared to Halloween.

Most of the good games that I play are B+ so I don't see the big deal. A- to A+ games are a rare sight.

Really, my only BIG complaint is the huge downgrade in music composition. The tunes are annoying simple ambient crap.

Make sure you wash your hands after handling the game

World 2 wasn't that hard. It's really quite creative. Jeremy Parish is honestly unsuited to review platformers.

So this begs the question, which is better so far, NSMB or YIDS?

YIDS

Hands down more fun. NSMB sucked in comparison to older MB games.

Hmmm, I'll probably trade in a couple games for this.

y'know, in terms of platforming challenge and level design, I think YI DS is a better game than NSMB.
