How exactly is calling this the year of Yoshi for marketing purposes a "big waste of effort and time"? All they would be doing different is acknowledging that they are releasing a lot of games with Yoshi this year and giving them a little marketing boost.

Make your point please

Let's go to the most fundamental question:

Why? What could it possibly achieve? What did the "Year of Luigi" achieve?

Sure, it might create small forum hype, but it doesn't add anything meaningful, nor does it help with Nintendo's image.
