The problem is that for many people, SNES YI set the bar really high in quality, and when a new yoshi game comes out, the first thing they do is say YI was better

Many series that have a crown jewel in the franchise have the same problem. If there's an acclaimed game in a series, all later sequels will always be compared to the crown jewel. Later games tend to be bashed for not being like how the crown jewel game was and then if another game comes out that is like the crown jewel in the franchise, it still gets bashed for "rehashing". Funny is how it's almost always Nintendo's games that get called on this and rarely anyone else.

Though it's always nice when there are new games that somehow blow out the previous crown jewels of the franchises. My favorite Mario game up until recently was Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario 3D World just recently de-throned SMB 3 (in my opinion). Currently my top 3 Marios are 1) 3D World, 2) SMB 3, and 3) NSMB U.

Now if only I can beat Champion's Road with Toad. Argh. Then I can work at replaying 3D World with Peach and Luigi for 100% completion.

So you really like SM3DW better than SMB3? I love SMB3, and I think it could quite possibly be the best game ever. But I have loved what I've seen from SM3DW so far, I can't wait to get it! The music is amazing, the level design looks great, and the multiplayer features look good too. And 3D Mario in HD...
