Die Of Cuteness With ‘Poochy And Yoshi’s Woolly World’

The adorable Wii U platformer, Yoshi’s Woolly World is heading to the Nintendo 3DS next year under the title, Poochy and Yoshi’s Woolly World. As one would expect from the name change, this is no mere port. Beyond containing every level from the original, your canine pal, Poochy, is getting levels of his own. The goal of his stages is to acquire as many beads as possible within the area through timed jumps.

But, that is not all. Poochy is joined by Poochy Pups, who sniff out hidden treasure for Yoshi when summoned. Can this game get any cuter?

Why, yes it can! Releasing alongside the game is a Poochy amiibo. Like the Yarn Yoshi and Mega Yarn Yoshi amiibo, this little guy is made of yarn, stuffing, and other plush toy materials. No word yet on what this amiibo will do in the game.

Also included in the game are 30 stop-motion animation shorts, made in collaboration with the Japanese studio, Dwarf.

Poochy and Yoshi’s Woolly World releases in North America on February 3. Beyond the standard edition, there will also be a bundle containing the game and Poochy amiibo.
