and now we know why he goes by Yoshi. The real question is did Orlando get help on the pronunciation BEFORE asking everyone?

Loved that 

Tee - Who? Yoshi. That's his last name. Yoshi right?

Nintendo is shit and no way am I calling my favourite draft pick by a character who is shitty.

Iosivas, period.

For my Harry Potter Fans - "It’s Leviosa, Not Leviosaaa!"

I always thought it's because the British pronounce As as Rs (and vice-versa) for the ending of the words, so it was "Leviosar."

But I didn't read the books, so it may be more-explicit there

I'm more concerned about people who think the first letter of his name is an L instead of an I.

I know it has already been clarified but here it is according to Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Iosivas

pronounced /ˈɒndreɪ ˈjoʊsiːˌvɑː

Here is the video referenced in the Wikipedia article for anyone interested

So "Yo-see-vosh". Cool. I always wondered about the "see" and whether it was more like the "tzee" in pizza. Guess not.

Once people learn it, they'll never forget it. I remember at first a lot of people struggled with Giannis "Antetokounmpo". Around draft-time even Jalen Rose said, "Just call him Po!" But now it rolls off the tongue and we don't think twice about it.

He sounds more like an NBA player to me. Maybe a hockey player.

That's 'cause it's ROmanian and they don't have that sound with their letters.

If he was Italian, maybe.

Damn, talk about a hot take!

Nintendo is only where they are today due to timing and having an asshole, cutthroat lawyer as running their business in NA for 20 years.

The quality of their games was NEVER the best in the respective genres, save for maybe Ocarina of Time and they have become a conglomerate based on Nostalgia and Draconian business policies.

There are very, VERY few things in life that I truly hate, but Ninty is one of them and they absolutely do not deserve to be around in their current capacity.

Yeah, it isn't that hard once you say it like a couple times...

Fair, but they do have some enjoyable games.
I continually find their Mario games are fun, even if they may not be the best platformer out there.
Mario Kart games also have been typically fun to play.

One of my favorite memories was getting a Nintendo when I was a kid with Mario Bros and Duck Hunt...
