Nintendo’s ongoing collaborations with Lego will soon mean Yoshi’s arrival to the world. Super Mario line of sets. Today’s Nintendo Today app updates include a teaser image showing the green dinosaur poking its plastic head into the frame like a photobomb, and given the size of the blocks that make up its eyes, it looks like a decent-sized silhouette.
For reasons beyond human comprehension, Nintendo has gone to extraordinary lengths to make it impossible to capture images from the Nintendo Today app, not only blocking basic screenshot tools, but even going so far as to prevent apps like Scrcpy from being able to mirror your phone’s screen to a PC. Because God forbids anyone from sharing the advertisements of which Nintendo Today is entirely made up. So a huge thank you to My Nintendo news from which we were able to get a screenshot of Yoshi, saving me from having to just take a photo of my phone screen.
The copyright information on the side is stamped “2027”, strongly suggesting that this will not be a set released in time for this year’s holiday season. But it will clearly be part of Nintendo’s more adult lineup, given the potential scale and number of pieces. As GamesRadar points out, Yoshi looks like it could be scaled to the brick from the 2000s Mario Kart sets, which would put the price at around $150.
Obviously this is all speculation based on a single image, but this is undoubtedly the announcement of a Yoshi set, and it won’t be a small, kid-friendly box. If Yoshi will join the Mario Kart the crew is unclear, or perhaps the cute dinosaur will have his own unique build. It looks like we’ll have to wait until 2027 to find out.
