Here’s An Early Look At The ‘Animal Crossing’ And Mega Yarn Yoshi Amiibo!

by Josh Jackson

This Friday, the next major batch of Amiibo, Nintendo’s wildly popular line of toys to life figurines, will make their debut alongside Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival. Serving as the series’ first Amiibo representation outside of the Smash Bros. Villager, our favorite animal friends like Isabelle, K.K. Slider and the slumlord, Tom Nook, will finally be represented in figure form. If those aren’t enough for you, Mega Yarn Yoshi will release a mere two days later, exclusively at Toys R Us. Having special functionality in Yoshi’s Wooly World and sizing up as the largest Amiibo to date, (as well as coming with the highest price tag, with an MSRP of $39.99,) many a gamer will have a new friend to keep them warm during these long, winter nights.

Luckily, we were able to get an in person preview of some of these figures in advance. While we wait patiently for the day when these new toys can take up more of our shelf space, here are a few shots to hold you over until the weekend rolls around.

Nook is thinking of ways to rip us off as we speak.

Between the sloped bases of the Animal Crossing set and the care that Yarn Yoshi seems like it received, it’s possible that these might become my favorite Amiibo yet! Which ones are you planning on picking up this weekend? Share your Amiibo plans with us in the comments below. And remember, this is a No Shades Zone!

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

by Derek Kraneveldt

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?
