 ''Yoshi Touch & Go'' was initially planned to be a [[Nintendo GameCube]] game; specifically, it would be a puzzle-oriented, horizontal platformer centering on the basic concept of Yoshi protecting Baby Mario. It would also use the GameCube controller and was said to have apparently always focused on drawing as a major gameplay element, although such a statement may have been referring to the game's later Nintendo DS version when spoken by the developers.<ref>[http://www.n-sider.com/articleview.php?articleid=425 The Making of the Game: ''Yoshi's Touch & Go''] from [http://www.n-sider.com/ N-sider.com].

-|align="left"|"''Really, the only harsh criticism that can be attached to Yoshi Touch & Go is that it breaks from the expected "beginning, middle, and end" platform presentation, instead going back to the old-school arcade days of trying to see how far you can get on a single try. And I'll admit that, initially, it was someone concerning to discover the lack of an extensive level progression in the latest Yoshi game. But the game modes offer an enormous amount of replay in their simplistic design; the main game mode has a ton of "combo" strings to discover and pull off. Marathon Mode constantly offers a fresh take on the same Yoshi rounds by randomizing challenges throughout the run-through. And the intense multiplayer mode is incredibly hard to turn off once it gets started. It was difficult to see the direction Nintendo was heading with the concept of Yoshi Touch & Go back at E3, or at the very least, how it was all going to come together as a full-fledged gaming package. But in its final form, Nintendo succeeded admirably, both in game concept and in an experience that can't be obtained anywhere else but on the Nintendo DS platform. Don't expect and extension of the Yoshi's Island series on the DS, as this game doesn't come anywhere close to attempting the next generation of platform design. Rather, what you're getting is a wonderful throwback to the days of self-competition: Nintendo's "Donkey Kong" arcade game of the 21st century.''"
