In this interview Miyamoto explains the lack of Princess Peach as playable:

Quote
Why isn't Princess Peach a playable character in New Super Mario Bros. Wii?

I thought it'd be nice to have her as a playable character, but the toad characters had a similar physique to a Mario character than Peach does. And if one of the four had a dress, we'd have to come up with a special programming to handle how the skirt is handled in the gameplay, and that's really the only reason why Peach isn't playable (laughs). Of course If we had Wario in there we'd have to program a way to make him fart. (laughs)

I think this pretty much confirms that the three characters of which we know are the only ones playable.

I could only watch half of that, way to much awesomeness! I want to be surprised.

I used to dream of a game where 2 players could ride 2 seperate yoshis at once. I can't believe its on its way...

I'm sorry, but dress programming? They did it in Brawl, Melee, Super Princess Peach and Super Mario Brothers 2 on the N-E-Freaking-S.

A big ol' :moonface: for Miyamoto. All of is false ragging on the abilities of the Wii is getting tiresome.

Do I need to remind you that Yoshi is a dinosaur?
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Yoshi isn't a dinosaur, he's a dragon.

I'm sorry, but dress programming? They did it in Brawl, Melee, Super Princess Peach and Super Mario Brothers 2 on the N-E-Freaking-S.
In all of those games, the characters had varying abilities. That isn't the case with this game, so they probably figured it wasn't worth it to add anyone else who'd seem strange to share the ability of Mario.

I think a dragon is a dinosaur too.
Both are reptilian yet bird like, and both have been extinct for quite some time (dragons are real).
the fore is Yoshi is a dragon and a dragon is a dinosaur, then Yoshi is a dinosaur.

I don't think a dragon is a dinosaur, that's like saying a dolphin is a human because they're both mammals.

I think you mean that would be like saying a dolphin is a fish because they both live in the water.
At least they both look alike, like a dragon and a dinosaur.

He's a dinosaur.  He comes from Dinosaur Land for crying out loud!

In North American translations they changed Yoshi from a dragon to a dinosaur because "dinosaur" sounds more friendly than "dragon".

So in America he's a dinosaur and in Japan he's a dragon.  Is that really so confusing?

I speak English; about about you?

I don't know, I've just always found some of the things they change in translations to be really weird and arbitrary so I go by the original source.

Some North American translations still do call Yoshi a dragon however. The dragon coins in Super Mario World, the Super Dragon Final Smash in SSBBrawl...

Also, you collect "Dragon Coins" in Mario World. They have Yoshi's picture pasted on them.

Also, dragons and wyverns are real. Behold:
