Topic: Year of Yoshi?

As the year of Luigi has ended I was wondering what you guys thought of the year of Yoshi? It was hinted on something, I can't remember what it was though, that there is going to be a year of Yoshi. I think it is probably Nintendo trolling but I'd think it would be pretty cool if it does happen.

nope. it's the year of Sonic(according to Sega) and Nintendo will make some crazy extra partnership with Sega to get more 3rd party titles for WiiU before they're all gone.

I don't think this entirely stamps out the possibility of the year of Yoshi coming. Sonic is a different series to the Mario series and it could be possible that they are separate so there could be a year of Sonic and a year of Yoshi.

I don't remember anything being mentioned for a Year of Yoshi. Hopefully, Yarn Yoshi will make up for it.

That's because there never was a "Year of Yoshi". 2 games does not necessarily warrant a year of anything. I can barely understand why Nintendo did a "Year of Luigi" for 4 games...

I remember reading somewhere about a Year of Yoshi.

The only decent game was Luigis Mansion, that wasn't just a skin of a Mario game.

If they made a full Luigi game like Super Luigi 64 with new elements in gameplay and whatnot, then that would have been better.

Let Luigi save a princess or even Mario!

I thought Mario & Luigi Dream Team was good as well?

A lot of sites, including this one, have been musing about it, but Nintendo has not said a word of it.

Year Of Yoshi is probably 2015 for his abpnniversary. Year of Diddy Kong on November is possible for his 20th anniversary.

Oh yeah, it was good game, I'm just saying that a Luigi game as the protagonist, without Mario in the game, would have been different.

you mean Birdo?

you're trying too hard, just be yourself and don't try to pull those forced jokes with wrong timing not even trolls do that.

If Nintendo were going to do a Year of Yoshi, they would have announced it to coincide with the launch of Yoshi's New Island and the Yoshi 3DS. It would be foolish to come out now and be like, "Oh, hey, by the way, year of Yoshi!!!"

All of the previous celebrations have been around some sort of anniversary. The 25th Mario thing with the limited edition Super Mario All Stars thing was to celebrate 25 years since Super Mario Bros. Zelda's year (which included Ocarina of Time 3D, Skyward Sword and various other promotional stuffs) was a celebration of 25 years since the first Zelda game. The Year of Luigi was similar, it was about it being 30 years since the first appearance of Luigi. Hence the "30th" in the Year of Luigi logo:

Yoshi though? In 2014? It doesn't add up really. His first game was Super Mario World and it's 24 years since that, hardly a significant anniversary. It's also 19 years since Yoshi's Island so that's not really a good one either.

The only thing that's really significant about 2014 is that it's 20 years since Donkey Kong Country

Year of Navi. Make it happen, Nintendo.
