Three Yoshi amiibo figures made with yarn were introduced in the Nintendo Direct webcast yesterday. Green, pink, and light-blue yarn Yoshis will be available this fall in the U.S. All three will be compatible with
Yoshi's Woolly World, also coming this fall.
The Japanese release is scheduled for this summer. In Europe, both the yarn Yoshi amiibo series and Yoshi's Woolly World will launch on June 26, along with a special bundle pack that includes the game and a green yarn Yoshi amiibo.
