‘Yoshi’s Wooly World’ Launching Alongside Three Yarn Amiibo This Fall

As one of the many Amiibo related announcements during the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, Yoshi’s Wooly World will be one of many Nintendo titles to gain support for the money draining figure craze. Except, as with the game’s visuals, these upcoming Yoshi toys take on a unique look.

Arriving alongside the game in September, the Yarn Yoshi’s come in pink, light blue, and his trademark green. Scanning them adds a second CPU controlled player to help us get through tough spots and reach hidden areas. Although, even if they didn’t do a thing in the game, I’m sure I’m not the only one who would rush out and buy them anyway, if for no other reason than because they’re so darn cute. The question is, do you buy all three? Oh wait, that’s not a real question, of course you do.

The game itself is looking to carry the spirit of the classic Yoshi’s Island titles, (ignoring the latest one, I hope,) with plenty of colorful environments, creative platforming challenges and tons of hidden items to discover in this yarn based world. If the game is too tough, (has a Yoshi game ever been?), an easier difficulty with permanent winged Yoshi is also available. Hopefully this means that Wooly World will offer up a decent challenge, rather than shoehorning the easier option in just to follow most of Nintendo’s other first party software. Either way, we loved what we played at E3 last year, so if the trend continues, Wooly World should be a welcomed addition to a growing Wii U library.
