Yoshi's Real Name Is...T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas?

@efesell said:

I don't doubt that Yo-she is the 'canon' pronunciation. I was mostly joking.

No, it's actually pronounced Yosh. Like, if you were Yoshi's friend in high school and you were like, "Hey, Yosh!"

Well either way I wanna say that Smash Bros has said it the other way so who knows.

Yoshi is weird.

What does Jeff Gerstmann make of this news?

It's a joke, but that's how I've always said it. Not sure if you can declare one or the other a minority because all we have is anecdotal evidence.

@efesell: I disagree. 'Yo' is quite a harsh sound where as 'Yosh' is soft, and that sounds like yosh to me.

I'm from the UK and I've always called it Yo-she. I have known people who pronounce it Yosh-ee, but they're in the minority.

That still just sounds like yo-she to me, just with derpy yoshi voice filter.

But what does the T. stand for!?

I bet that guide also claims the Koopalings are Bowser's children. So, according to modern Nintedo, it's full of lies. LIES!

Thanks, grandma...

Right, because after Yoshi you just have to ruin sandwiches too.

Was this accidentally published to the news section or something?

Genuine question

wait, really

^^^^^ I knew before it was cool.

I also take issue with Americans pronouncing it YO-she. Yoshi clearly says Yosh-ee, as do most people in England.

Thank you for providing the name without making people click through.

I kind of like the name. It's so obviously from 1992, and probably wasn't seen by many people at Nintendo other than the one person who was writing this book.

Slow news day, huh?

Fuck T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas!

This is already on the forums. Patrick, as the site's Yoshi editor, you need to be quicker on this sort of thing.

So, Mario isn't even human? Craziness!
