Nintendo Expands My Mario Lineup with Hello, Yoshi! App on Switch and Switch 2

Nintendo has announced a significant expansion to its popular My Mario product line, adding fresh experiences and interactive products for fans of all ages.

Chief among these new offerings is the Hello, Yoshi! app, now available for download on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and compatible mobile devices.

This playful application invites users to manipulate Yoshi’s expressive face, echoing the interactive fun initially popularized by Mario's 3D face on the title screen of Super Mario 64.

The Hello, Yoshi! app can be accessed for free via the Nintendo eShop on both Switch platforms and for smart devices.

Fans can interact with Yoshi by stretching, spinning, and poking his face, which results in lighthearted reactions such as peekaboo and humorous expressions.

After active play, Yoshi nods off for a nap—an intentional design choice that supports healthy screen time habits, giving parents a helpful stopping point for children.

Nintendo's commitment to interactive family engagement extends beyond digital apps.

The publisher has also revealed the Hello, Mario! board book, an engaging joint effort between Nintendo and Penguin Random House.

This interactive children’s book features robust, movable tabs on each page, allowing readers to animate Mario himself—removing his hat or spinning his eyes—in true Nintendo style.

Additionally, the "It's Me, Mario!" stop motion series continues with Episode 7, available for streaming now on the My Mario website and the official Play Nintendo YouTube channel.

The series showcases Mario and his friends in creative, family-friendly storytelling, further enriching the Mario universe beyond traditional video games.

For fans interested in tactile play, Nintendo has introduced three new wooden block sets: Peach Wood Block Set, Yoshi Wood Block Set, and Luigi Wood Block Set.

Made from premium beech hardwood, these sets are crafted to foster creativity, letting children construct their own Mario-themed adventures.

Notably, the featured Peach, Yoshi, and Luigi blocks double as functional amiibo figures, compatible with any Nintendo Switch game that supports the Super Mario amiibo lineup.

Details about amiibo functionality can be found on the official amiibo website.

This latest update underscores Nintendo's commitment to providing innovative, cross-platform products that appeal to gamers, families, and collectors alike.

With the My Mario product line now spanning physical, digital, and multimedia experiences, Nintendo continues to set the standard for family-friendly interactive entertainment.
