Yoshi's Island DS, later released in Japan as Yoshi Island DS, is a platforming video game developed by Artoon for the Nintendo DS. Published by Nintendo, it was released in North America and Australasia in November 2006, in Europe in December 2006, and in Japan in March 2007. It is the sequel/remake to the 1995 SNES game, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Announced at Nintendo's E3 press conference in May 2006, the game was well received by critics, scoring an average of 83% on Metacritic's aggregate. The game was originally to be titled Yoshi's Island 2; its name was changed two weeks before its North American release. On April 1, 2015 the game was made available for the Wii U through the Virtual Console service shortly after a Nintendo Direct presentation. The game's story focuses on the Yoshi clan as they attempt to rescue newborn children who have been kidnapped by Kamek.
There are two components for playing a ds Yoshi's Island Ds game on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the ds OS and software.
The second component is the Yoshi's Island Ds game itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest NO$GBA – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading NO$GBA , extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the no$gba.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play Yoshi's Island Ds. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to NO$GBA and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
