People can’t get enough of Yoshi. He’s happy, he’s an incredibly useful power-up from time to time, and he’s cute. What more could you want out of a companion? Well, more official artwork would be a start! New art of the adorable dino popped up on the Nintendo UK Twitter account this week, showing off a straw-hat-donning Mario with a yellow Yoshi pal. Nintendo is calling it an “Original Mario wallpaper” work, celebrating this very-hot summer of 2023.
We’re big Yoshi fans in my household. Not only do we constantly relive games where Yoshi is playable, but we also can’t help but smile every time he turns up. I also spent an inordinate amount of time in Yo’ster Isle in Super Mario RPG and will do so yet again when the remake arrives later this year. I’m really feeling the vibe of this artwork, though my summer experience doesn’t look anything like this!
