Nintendo Crafts A ‘Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World’ Site

by Natalie Kipper

It has been a few months since the announcement of Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World, the expanded port of the lovable Wii U platformer, but just days ago Nintendo updated the game site to include the Nintendo 3DS version. Besides just being all warm and fuzzy, the site gives visitors the rundown on new features to expect in the portable edition.

For one thing, gamers can look forward to the addition of Poochy Pups in Mellow Mode. The trio of crocheted canines will not only sniff out secrets hidden in the levels but also act as projectiles in a pinch. The Papa (Mama?) Poochy will have levels of their own, exclusive to the 3DS. If you have use the Poochy amiibo (released as a bundle with game or sold separately), the helpful sidekick can be summoned and, during the Poochy solo stages, reveal additional challenges that unlock Poochy designs.

All you artsy types will certainly get a kick out of the new “Craft Mode,” found at the Yoshi Hut. Using the 3DS touchscreen, you’ll be able to design your Yoshi’s pattern. You can create up to 10 designs and even share your favorite through Streetpass! And just like the previous iteration, amiibo also unlock special Yoshi patterns but this time, more amiibo are compatible.

Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World launches in North America on February 3. The stand-alone copy retails for $39.99 while the bundle that includes a Poochy amiibo costs $49.99. A digital version will also be available in the Nintendo 3DS eShop.

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.
