Artoon

Artoon was the company that made Yoshi Topsy-Turvy and Yoshi's Island DS. Fans were worried that Yoshi's Island DS would be a botched game like Yoshi Topsy-Turvy, which received critical reception, and were upset at Nintendo for going back to Artoon to recreate one of their greatest games in the franchise. However, many fans were happy to see that they did quite a good job on Yoshi's Island DS. Artoon was a subsidiary of AQ Interactive. The company was absorbed into its parent in 2010, before they merged with Marvelous Entertainment and Liveware to form Marvelous AQL.
