Yoshi's Woolly World is only a month away from its European launch, which takes place on the 26th June. As we said in our preview yesterday, when you throw in the stunning visuals, quirky and charming design and a lovely soundtrack, it becomes apparent that Woolly World is the real deal - a game crafted with care and skill. It's accessible while also tricky, simple and clever, and can also be fast or measured.
One thing the game also really excels at is supporting amiibo. Simply tapping a Yarn Yoshi amiibo or regular Yoshi amiibo to your Wii U GamePad will allow you to play solo with Double Yoshi – two Yoshis on screen!
As if all that wasn't enough, Yoshi's Woolly World will also encourage you to tap one of over 40 compatible amiibo to your Wii U GamePad, too. Upon doing so Yoshi will transform in-game to assume the patterns of your favourite Nintendo characters.
It turns out that seeing a woolly Mario-themed Yoshi is actually too cute for words, so without further ado let us take a look at Nintendo's charming CGI trailer which will give you a taste of what to expect when you whip out your amiibo in this upcoming game.

Nice little bonus. That tashe on Mario Yoshi cracks me up.
Please let them have a Captain Falcon version of that.
It's a me...Yoshi!
Now this is perhaps the best use of Amiibo I've seen so far! A great extra, but probably nothing people will feel they missed out on by not having the amiibo.
I'm afraid that getting this game will give me diabetes with how sweet it is ;A;
@Captain_Gonru but the whole game does release next week. What you get after that is just a bonus. If you think the summer is barren then there's no reason to wait - play now and play later, or player later only, for the same price.
@Ryu_Niiyama Since Shulk is shown to be compatible, then it's highly likely Captain Falcon is too.
The cuteness should not be dialled up to 11, it should be dial up to OVER 9000
Oh man, I hope my Charizard amiibo works with this game!!!
100.000 Amiibo will be restocked in Spain, Hopefully I will be able to get Shulk and Ness

I wonder if Dark Pit's amiibo will make Yoshi's winged form get black wings.
@Warbeard To be fair there's no party matchmaking until August so I know a lot of people that are holding off until then as the price will probably drop, at least here in the UK where Nintendo can't keep it artificially high. 5 maps doesn't sound too complete either. I'm still getting it day 1 but a lot of people see it has half finished before the August patch.
I'm not a big fan of "skins", I certainly wouldn't pay for them, but I have to say something about the yarn effect, and Yoshi's big nose, does make these very cute.
We'll probably try out the 3 we have - Starfox, Link and my son bought my wife Princess Peach for Mother's Day.
Do the 3 Splatoon amiibo work in Yoshi? So far I haven't see those work in anything other than Splatoon, and I haven't seen any other amiibo work in Splatoon. Kind of defeating the whole "amiibo work across multiple games" superiority angle.
@Captain_Gonru - It's a really barren summer b/c Nintneod wants you to buy Splatoon. And an external HDD. And $35 worth of amiibo.
I still think Yoshi in August, probably the 28th. They've said "fall' but the website only says 2015. And the game is done, and Mario Maker in Sept. So Aug it is. All shall be revealed at E3.

If Shulk Yoshi doesn't carry around a YarNado...
Also looking forward to rocking the Sonic and Megaman Yoshis.
Cool!
If only you could get one of those amiibos.....
The compatibility chart hasn't updated for Yoshi's Wooly World just yet, but keep your eyes peeled.

Inkling Yoshi would be sweet.
That laugh the other Yoshi give after seeing Mario-shi... XD
The game just went from fence-sitting to pre-order!
Too bad the actual amiibo Yoshi looks nothing like the CGI one. The eyes, cheeks and nose are a bit off :/
Excellent use of amiibo: a fun little bonus that isn't necessary by any means to get the most out of the game. Two thumbs up for me.
No way!
Seriously, to handle all this cuteness is almost impossible, if not impossible at all.
Now I feel like I can handle the 3DS System stability with no problem, but the cuteness?
I wonder if this means that every Smash amiibo will be compatible... looks like my Wii Fit Trainer amiibo will finally get some use
They should make Yoshi ugly in the next Yoshi game to make Yoshi in this game look 100X cuter.
zero suit samus yoshi huehue
Fox McCloud yoshi!
This is the kind of amiibo use I like. Completely unnecessary, but very desirable.
Can't wait to Yarnify my Pikachu, Fox, Diddy, and Mega Man.
@sketchturner I didn't see any Pokemon amiibo shown. Looks like they're stuck to Smash yet again.
Nice! Can't wait to play this!
Now I really want Ness. A Ness yoshi would be adorable!
The cuteness overload is too much! This is probably one of the best amiibo implementations EVER!
"Discover What Happens When Yoshis Meet amiibo In This New Yoshi’s Woolly World Trailer" - because youll probably never be able to recreate that due to a severe lack of Amiibo on storeshelfs.
Fun fact, ive talked to two friends woring at two major electronics stores around here. They ordered plenty of Amiibo, all orders where greenlighted by the distributor but the wares never arrived.
This is A+ fodder for conspiracy theorists. This stuff gets stolen so that i can be sold on eBay / Amazon for ridiculous prices
...Mr. Game & Watch's Amiibo needs to happen so I can have a black yoshi. lol
I'm scared to think what some of these might look like! Also damnit Nintendo, now I'm gonna HAVE to open up all my amiibo boxes.......
(I was gonna do that eventually anyway, but oh well. )
@Ryu_Niiyama You're in luck. Captain Falcon is shown at the end of the trailer just before it ends.
I still think they look ugly and that regular yoshis are better.
Awesome!
I hope one of those amiibos are Ness. I want Yoshi to SSMMAASSH his Yarn Bat against some Shy Guy skulls.
That Mario is horrifying...
Can't wait to see the Sonic and Mega Man designs for this... And now I need to get a Yoshi amiibo.
Now I can't wait to see what my Shulk amiibo will make Yoshi look like! I'm happy that one's been confirmed already. Ness will be fun to see, too!
@Warbeard No, the complete game releases in August! You can't consider 5 multiplayer maps and 1 mode a "complete" multiplayer, this is just Nintendo buying time for make up for the inevitable summer game drought.
@elstif
PIKACHU! PIKACHU FOR EVERYONE!!!!! (even though nobody wants pikachu and if they did there is still more than enough stock for everybody to get 20)
@Grumblevolcano
No, the game releases next week. In a game like Splatoon where knowing the map is critical, I'd say 5 multiplayer maps is enough for release. And for the record, not talking about a "complete" multiplayer, I meant a complete game - you're leaving the singleplayer out.
The way I see it, we get a game, then more free stuff when it's ready, what's wrong with that? Releasing everything at once would just overwhelm players, kinda akin to patches in an MMO
@Peach64 No matchmaking as in no grouping with friends? I see your point.
@Captain_Gonru Fair enough, thanks for the civil tone
meh
@Warbeard I disagree and I wasn't saying release everything at once, rather that there should be 10-12 maps at launch like with other shooters. Also, I feel ranked battles should be unlocked as soon as you reach level 10 rather than as soon as "x" number of people reach level 10 where "x" is completely unknown.
Link-shi amiibo please!
I'd love to see a Ganondorf version
uh, am i the only one who thinks this is kind of creepy instead of cute? what have they done to yoshi??
SO MUCH... CUTENESS!!! dies
I need to play as Ness Yoshi...
Noshi? Yess? Yoshess?
I can't wait to play as Captain Yoshi, Mega Yoshi, and Wii Fit Yoshi.
A fair few more have been shown off. Personally I think they're tacky-looking; if they gave Yoshi Mario's hat, etc then I'd be more interested in using them: http://youtu.be/IFPgRob9Xfc
@PrincePeach92 Check the link out, Peach is the last one shown.
Shulk Yoshi
@Mario_maniac I think Pit and Toad are adorable o:
Aww! This game looks so fun.
Wow yoshi looks so real!
I'm sure they try to see fans reaction. So they could also make these amiibo's. Milking time. Nuff said
This looks super weird and super cool ^^
Cute.
