An absolute snoozefest of a puzzle game. I mean, it's a game, just a very, very dull one. You'd be better off with pretty much any other tile-match or falling-block game.

Surprisingly good for an NES puzzle game.

Fuck da haters I love this game I have so many memories of playing the hell out of this on an emulator on my old Samsung phone

Pretty bomb tbh. In my experience, it's really easy to let the board fill up and then try to puzzle your way out of it.


I'm suprised by how much boring it gets so quickly.

you gotta match the things falling down it's fun

eh it's fine, i bought it for 30 cents and i definitely got my value from it

I am now the world's foremost Yoshi (NES) scholar. The difference between Type A and B? The four types of enemies that can drop? The 3 music tracks? I've experienced it ALL. ALL the content that can be found in Yoshi (NES). I am an EXPERT.

"Bernardo, é só um joguinho de puzzle do yoshi pro NES com mecânica esquisita e música irritante"
Sim, e eu vou defendê-lo até o fim dos meus dias

Gave up on this super quick. Wasn't worth my time.

Very simplistic, but delightful score based puzzle game.

Yoshi on the NES is a classic puzzle game, kind of like Tetris but with a cute Mario twist! Instead of blocks, you're matching up eggshells which is adorable. It's got catchy music and starts off easy, but difficulty ramps up fast, which can be frustrating. Honestly, it hasn't aged the best — there are better puzzlers out there, especially if you're into fast-paced action. But for nostalgia purposes or as a simple challenge, it's not a bad time!

Played on Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online, but not for very long. I will not be returning to this game.

I preferred Yoshi's Cookie, this never held my attention for very long.

Cute and (a bit too) easy puzzle game.

I never played this back when I was growing up it is alright not great or anything special but it was ok.

Second best Yoshi Puzzle game on the NES

Woahshi! It's a double mediocre Yoshi game exploshi.

Less interesting than Yoshi's Cookie, and Yoshi's Cookie is already not interesting.


Played this long enough to the point where if it were on Steam, I couldn't refund it. Of all of the Mario-themed puzzle games where it starts really hectic because there are a lot of things to clear at the start and you just kind of wait for RNG to give you the solution as the endgame of a given stage slows to an agonizing crawl... wow it's weird that they made three of them in just as many years, huh? But between this, Yoshi's Cookie, and Dr. Mario, this is certainly the worst of them. Forcing the game into a match-two system, solely vertically, takes out any sort of thrill from potential chains or strong building of anything; it's a purely reactive puzzler with a few moments at the start of rounds where you're shuffling around columns. If you are a fan of Mario's Puzzle Party from Mario Party 3, that will give you far greater depth for a match-two puzzler than Yoshi can give. There are moments where it's engaging, but you will either get past that in the first 20 seconds of a round or lose.

Baby's first puzzle game. The gameplay and graphics are on par with modern GameFreak titles.

It's a tetris-like, but not as good.

Oh so simple, but oh so effective. Seeing your stack of enemies approach the top of the screen, only for that fabled 'top egg' to appear... The satisfaction of watching the bastards get compressed down into an egg, and inexplicably
transformed into a Yoshi (with all the horror that mental image entails)... Brilliant.

The 3DS Virtual Console version having multiplayer was a stroke of genius - battles against friends were the stuff of legend in the Sixth Form common room.
