Yoshi’s Island makes its way to Japan

Yoshi’s Island DS has been around in North America and Europe for some time now (since November last year in fact). In Japan though, the title is yet to hit the shelves on March 8 – which we found a bit intriguing.

Anyway, the babies (Mario, Donkey Kong, Wario, and Peach) are back together with the lovable Yoshi as they take an adventure to save the kidnapped Baby Luigi (for a change). Each baby lends a different ability to Yoshi to effectively beat the notorious flower fiends and other nasty critters.

There hasn’t been any news regarding what comes next after Yoshi’s Island – plus the confirmation on its being ported to the Wii. Anyway, here’s a load full of screenshots plus some character art for those who haven’t gotten the game yet and the peeps over in Japan.

More screens await after the jump!
