NOT the naff Selects here, but the ORIGINAL game, with less tacky artwork on the cover. Much more collectible if your into collecting, or just better really if you haven't already got the game.

Cracking game too!

The game's title is "Yoshi's New Island" not "Yoshi's Island". Lazy poster.

    Hey guys, pretty sure you will get the Selects version...

    They had the original artwork for Starfox 64 up and I contacted Customer Services asking them which version they were selling, and they confirmed the artwork was wrong and they had the Selects version.

    Likely the same case here.

    I think a Selects copy may turn up here. I reckon it's the same for Mario Open Tennis. Both price ranges fit the Selects range. However, you won't know till you get it, or ask them on Twitter.

    Think its a very good game myself. A bit like New Super Mario Bros DS or Super Mario Bros 2 on 3DS. The puzzle aspects are good. Getting a big Yoshi Egg and rampaging around is fun. The end of level bosses are quite imaginative also. I can't think of that many better platformers on 3DS.

Nintendo sure is very original and creative with these titles they come up with.



    Each to their own, I disagree with 100% of everything you said.

    Ordered heat, good price will be hoping it isn't the selects version

    Noahsdad is really angry at the Selects'. They must've done a number on him.

    The game sucks anyway, so if you're going to play a modern Yoshi game then play Woolly World in case you have a Wii U or stick to the old one on Super Nintendo.

    It's not good like the other Yoshi games. Period.

    Of course you would and you still haven't bothered to fix the title.

    Get over the issue you have with tthe selects range. Just enjoy the games.

    I don't find the selects covers tacky, really. I much prefer these covers over the silver boxes of the ranges way back in the gamecube days.

    Well this arrived for me this morning and it's the selects version
    So clearly I need to get this axe wielding murderer out of my house right away

    That's horrific and ghastly. If the story of this "deal" gets made into a movie it will be a 18 certificate. I'd take a screenshot of their product page no their website, and email their customer service asking what they intend to do about the situation of the product they have mis-sold you.
