It would so ilogical, so useless and such a big waste of effort and time that Iwata might just greenlight it.


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.

I think the fans generally liked the year of Luigi. I personally found it fun and entertaining. As I have already stated, it gives a little extra buzz to a few things and gives a little extra something to talk about with very little time and effort spent on Nintendo's part.

Basically it provides a small marketing boost with virtually no effort. Explain to me how this makes it a "big waste of effort and time" or at the very least, explain to me how it takes up any significant effort and time from Nintendo...

Also, explain the "nor does it help with Nintendo's image" line. It certainly doesn't hurt Nintendo's image so I don't know what you are implying here...
