I LOVE Yoshi! (Actually, I love all things related to Super Mario.) Anyway. This announcement that I just got that they’re releasing a Nintendo 3DS XL with Yoshi on it reminds me of one time where we found a pinball game with Yoshi. Going back a good 19-20 years or so we were in Wildwood for a convention. Three of us were up on the boardwalk having fun. We found a pinball machine that had Mario and Yoshi. I laughed every time the machine had Mario’s voice saying “I gotta get a Yoshi”. I played one game for hours, how we loved that machine! We went back the next day to play some more and it was gone. I never saw that game again. Anyway. This is coming out soon and I for one think it looks really cool.
