Nintendo's movie merch lineup has a new highlight: the Hatchin' Yoshi interactive toy, released to coincide with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. The figure emerges from an eggshell and responds to player interaction with motion and vocalizations, offering a cuddly, kid-friendly companion that’s catching fans' attention.

  • Movie tie-in: The Hatchin' Yoshi is part of the Super Mario Galaxy Movie merchandise range, landing ahead of the film’s wider push.
  • Interactive hatching: The toy starts inside an eggshell and 'hatches' during play, revealing Yoshi as part of its gimmick.
  • Responsive behavior: It reacts to touch and voice prompts, moves by rocking and shaking, and makes characteristic sounds when activated.
  • Appeal: Designed to be irresistibly cute and approachable, it’s positioned as a softer, more playful option compared with other recent Mario tie-ins like the Talking Flower.
