Good-Feel is a development studio that has stumbled across a brilliant idea. Take a cute mascot, almost literally - but virtually - wrap them in wool and make them even more adorable; it is the definition of winning.
Which brings us to Yoshi's Woolly World, of course, which will possibly take cuteness to dangerous levels of excess that could turn us all into bubbling gloops of contentment. Yoshi's not been shy to play the cute card before, but is now exploiting it to make us buy yarn amiibo toys, which seem so excessive that they're barely credible as concepts - we sure want them, though.
With that rambling pre-amble aside - all of this yarn distracts us - we get to a new TV advert from Nintendo UK. Just watch, in HD at 60 frames-per-second, and see if your heart melts.
Yoshi's Woolly World is out in Europe on 26th June, though unfortunately gamers in North America need to wait until Fall.

UGH! The cute.... It's killing me...! dead
Seriously, that made me smile. So adorable.
Yeah, day one for sure.
My bank balance is just hoping that they don't issue all the different colours as Amiibo....
@G0dlike there're already 3 colours Green, light-blue and pink
@KomrathDE oh I know. Already pre ordered 😏
Too much cuteness, I wish I could handle it more than the 3DS System stability, we're in trouble
The amiibo and special edition already ran out after 1 day of being listed at EB Games in Australia, they're still not stocking enough to meet demand.
I want the pattern!
0:14-0:16 - Light Blue Yoshi: "HUG ME!!"
Nintendo have so much power over my future happiness / bank balance.
@BlackSpy The NA site has actually changed release date from fall 2015 to 2015. Don't know whether that'll be better or even worse.

So is this like a confirmation that different yoshi colors are playable like it always been or is it like u can change the color? and all those other color are unicorns in wave 2 of the Yoshi Series
This month Splatoon and next Yoshi!?
I love you Nintendo.
I want them all
Special Edition with Green Yoshi? Preordered. Blue and pink available June 26th.... yeah... err... ok.. on fleabay for a huge markup.... I wasnt quick enough there I'm afraid with my mouse clicks
Ah well, at least ive nabbed all the Splatoons...
@Grumblevolcano - Nintendo has no conception of seasons or quaters, it doesn't really matter what they say. But ever since they said June in the EU and fall in the US Ive been thinking August, so this helps that thought. I dont see why they would want to release this 2D platformer after Aug w/ Mario Maker in September. Unless its the holiday game, then Wii U is doomed.
lol they show nothing about the game. not a single screenshot. just the cuteness of yarn yoshis
This is SO ADORABLE!!!
Did anyone else notice that there is a Wii U advertisement Yoshi design?

They said Fall. And Fall starts late September.
I'd say they release it on the 25th September. Makes perfectly sense if you compare other releases like Splatoon or the European release of Woolly World. It's always the last Friday of that month.
For some reason Nintendo Life says Q3? Where did that come from? So if that's true, it only can be September. ^^
If they launch all those as amiibo I'm screwed
When it comes to cuteness in the Nintendo pantheon, Yoshi is second only to Kirby.
I do hope I'm able to pick up one of those yarn amiibos.
@DESS-M-8 They will launch them. We totally have to get them! Hehe
@BlueBlurIxM I think that would be Mario Maker's release date so October (maybe the Bayonetta 2 spot) would make more sense if still in fall.
Oh my god there's so many! I can't take this!
@BlueBlurIxM - What @Grumblevolcano said. Nintnedo has done a lot of stupid stuff lately, but releasing Mario Maker and Yoshi within weeks of each other, and w/ the rest of the yearly line-up looking so barren, doesn't make much sense. And they've already said Spetmeber is Mario's month to celebrate his 30th anniversary. Though Yoshi is part of the Mario universe, and Nintnedo is stupid, so who knows? I just want to know why it doesn't have a date yet.
May - Spaltoon
June - Splatoon DLC
July - Splatoon DLC
Aug - Splatoon DLC and Yoshi Aug 28
Sept - Mario Maker Sept 25
Oct - Fatal Frame and Devils Third
Nov - Starfox and wishful thinking XCX
Dec - something announced at E3 that works w/ amiibo, maybe Animal Crossing or Paper Mario
so in America nothing? I want all these yoshis.
@ricklongo Yoshi is second to none.
Bizarrely, still no Japanese release date.
That was so cute, besides was there a water mellon yoshi and cow yoshi.
I must have one. But my hopes on actually getting one is slim given Nintendo's track record with stocking the amiibo people actually want.
Another thing, how easy would it be to keep this things clean? Especially around kids, they would be touched a lot, or just with dirt and dust... it wouldn't be as simple as wiping it clean like the plastic amiibo.
@KomrathDE ...for now
So... could the big separation in releases (US much later) have to do with the Yarn Yoshi Amiibo stock? That would be a sad development to have to wait for the game because they can't make the amiibo fast enough. And I like amiibo.
Yes, and cuteness overload!
@DreamyViridi I'll organize a funeral for you, and invite all of your NL friends.
Super cute! Doesn't show any of what the actual game is but anyone who's interest is not peaked by that trailer has no soul.
I mostly stopped collecting, but this and Splatoon with the Amiibo are still pre-ordered.
@rjejr
I don't know. I just highly doubt that they'll release it in August.
If not September then October, like Grumblevolcano said.
Worst case scenario would be December. (Still Fall)
I don't know but my gut feeling says September for some kind of reason.
We'll have to wait for E3. They probably announce a proper release date.
But I still don't know what this is all about. First with the recent Kirby game. We've got it just recently.. A 12 week gap. Now the other way around? If it's not a hyped game, it certainly damages the sales.
Oh wow... I almost started cuddling my computer screen! Lol!
I really want a Yarn Yoshi amiibo now...
@Grumblevolcano
Well, considering there's only 10 days of winter, likelihood is in our favor that it may drop this summer- July, August or September (doubtful yet still possible)?
I think it'll drop in October though, but that's just me.
I have all 3 colors of Yarn Yoshi coming from Amazon UK. Sure didn't feel like waiting until the holiday season for my Yoshi Amiibos...
I want this game more than any 27 year old man with a passion for ponies ever should.
I guess Nintendo should partner with Hasbro to make "My Little Yoshi: Happiness is Awesome" lol
So Good-Feel was serious about their name huh? I need yarn Zelda guys...make it happen. I think they could make Ganon cuddly but still scary.
If only they gave him some new voice recordings. I hate all of those noises; just sick of 'em.
Won't buy Amiibo, but very cute video. Yoshi heaven!
