In the new year wish by the gaming company, they replaced Luigi with Yoshi. Luigi is one of the most prominent characters in the Mario franchise, and him getting replaced by Yoshi in the wish was hard to digest for the fans. The new wish included Mario, Princess Peach, Toad, and Yoshi. This replacement has infuriated the fans.
Reactions towards this replacement by the community
Yoshi replacing Luigi in the holiday season posters has made many fans disappointed. They expressed their emotions through their socials.
What is this INJUSTICE

That’s just disrespectful

Yoshi seems to have a new render and many fans think this might be one of the reasons Nintendo had while they planned to not include Luigi in the mix.
And Yoshi got the updated render!

On the other hand, Yoshi fans were delighted. Moreover, Yoshi was not in the frontlines of franchise marketing that much. And this inclusion is something that came as good news for the people who adore Yoshi.
BUT IT’S A GOOD THING CAUSE I LOVE YOSHI

I mean as a Yoshi fan for the past 30 years or so, I’m cool with this.

Some fans went on to take a dig at Toad. Some of the Yoshi and Luigi fans think that Toad should have been replaced and not Luigi. Especially since he has been on the front cover for a long time.
Seriously, Why they Just don't replace Toad ? Luigi and Yoshi are both better then him!
