Shut Up And Take Our Money: The Mega Yarn Yoshi Amiibo Is Incredible!

Briefly: The most exciting piece of news that Nintendo revealed this morning?

Nope. Not Fatal Frame, though I’m beyond excited to know when I’ll finally be able to get my hands on that too.

It’s the damned expensive, damned incredible Mega Yarn Yoshi Amiibo.

Because if buying a blue, pink, and green Yarn Yoshi weren’t already going to put a big enough dent in your wallet, on October 16th you’ll also be able to spend a new retail game worth of cash of the Mega version. It’ll cost a cool $39.99 in the USA, while Canadians like myself will be forking out $59.99.

What’s it do? Well, aside from looking awesome, when tapped to the GamePad controller in Yoshi’s Woolly World, Mega Yarn Yoshi activates “Double Yoshi,” a second Yoshi to use at any point in the middle of a stage, as well as the ability to save their favourite Yoshi pattern to the amiibo.

It’s a cool ability, and it’s also the exact same thing that the standard Yarn Yoshi will do in the game.

In any case, I’ll take two! How about you?
