‘Yoshi’s Wooly World’ Uses Amiibo In The Most Adorable Way

Starting to feel the fatigue of all that Amiibo hunting? Maybe Yoshi’s Wooly World will bring some purpose back to the twelve hour campouts and online refresh fests.

In the latest trailer from UK Nintendo, the Yarn Yoshi’s get a bit of a makeover! In addition to the AI controlled partner that unlocks when one of the plush Yoshi Amiibo are tapped into the game, tapping seemingly every Amiibo up to this point will unlock a special knit pattern based on the character you tapped. Want a Mario themed Yoshi? How about Donkey Kong, or Kirby? If you didn’t before, the trailer below will likely change your mind.

A specific list of which Amiibo will be compatible has not yet been released, but the trailer looks promising. Imagine a Sonic, Mega Man, or even a Fire Emblem themed character in a full fledged Nintendo platformer? I’m definitely getting a LittleBigPlanet vibe from these, but considering how its costumes was one of the game’s highlights, who could complain?

Yoshi’s Wooly World will launch in late June with a green Yoshi bundle, alongside the blue and pink versions… in Europe. No release date or bundles have been shown for the West, but we can’t imagine our turn will be far off.

Which costume are you most looking forward to? Let us know in the comments!
