Development
Yoshi's Island DS was announced at E3 2006 under the name Yoshi's Island 2, originally featuring only baby versions of Mario, Peach, and DK. The developer, Artoon, has made one other Yoshi game — Yoshi's Universal Gravitation — for the GBA. Universal Gravitation veered away from the "Nintendo" design; but for DS, Artoon stuck close to the original concept.
The game retains the classic pastel / crayon visuals from its predecessor. Small changes are noticeable — water animation has been improved, the black outlines around objects are not as thick and the backgrounds are less cluttered; but the visuals are still tightly-centered on those of the Super NES game.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“For decades child development experts have erroneously directed parents to sing with one voice, a unison chorus of values, politics, disciplinary and loving styles. But duets have greater harmonic possibilities and are more interesting to listen to, so long as cacophony or dissonance remains at acceptable levels.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
“There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion.”
—John Emerich Edward Dalberg, 1st Baron Acton (1834–1902)
“Information about child development enhances parents’ capacity to respond appropriately to their children. Informed parents are better equipped to problem-solve, more confident of their decisions, and more likely to respond sensitively to their children’s developmental needs.”
—L. P. Wandersman (20th century)
