Boy or Girl?

Maternal Instinct?

I have to admit I have questions about Yoshi. Is it a boy or a girl? Yoshi lays eggs but has a counterpart, Birdo. Personally I think he's a boy! The more that I think about it the more confused I get. It really doesn't make sense. My theory is that when Yoshi first appeared in the game Super Mario World in 1990, it was a girl. This is why it (I feel so cruel calling Yoshi an it) could lay eggs. Though when everyone decided romance was better than friendship, Birdo entered the picture and suddenly Yoshi was one of the guys!

Then again Yoshi still kept, and still does, laying those eggs. Another example of Yoshi being a girl is the game Yoshi's Island. No man could suddenly take up a baby that was stranded and decide to help it get back home. This is a maternal extinct. Yoshi is a very complex and confusing character of the Super Mario series. I think we all know Yoshi is a boy, but then again there's still some speculation! What do you think? Boy or girl?

GameBoy Advance Ambassador games: First Impressions (part 1)

F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
Yikes! Ya know, many of the racing games of yesteryear just didn't age well. I believe this is one of them. I think that can be attributed partially to the D-pad based control scheme...and the 2-D graphics. Yeah, racers are probably better off in 3-D. All I know is I wouldn't pay for this game.

Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
How did I miss out on the original Yoshi's Island in my youth?! It's a flippin' sweet game! Stay tuned on this one for sure!

Mario Kart: Super Circuit
I actually have this game in GBA cartridge format! To be brief, I've never liked it...at all...in the slightest. If the original Mario Kart on Super Nintendo is anything like this one, I'll stay far away.

Mario Vs. Donkey Kong
I haven't played this one much, but what I've seen, I've liked...a lot. It's kind of a combination of platforming and puzzle-solving. I can't wait to have time to play more of this little gem!

Metroid Fusion
Another title I have an actual cartridge of! I love playing this game on my GBA SP. But the D-pad and face buttons on the Nintendo 3DS system are, to be quite frank, a pain to use. They're too stiff or something. That aside, Metroid Fusion is an excellent game.

Warioware, Inc. Mega Microgame$
Apparently this title introduced the brilliant concept of microgames. It works, and works well. Obviously there isn't going to be a lot of meat to this kind of game, but it's a much-appreciated diversion.

Six down, four to go! Look forward to part 2 in this series in a couple of days!
