Official Nintendo UK Store Opens Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World Pre-Order Options

I think it's daft that they'll throw you in a poster with the standalone version, but you get nothing if you lump for the more expensive amiibo bundle... it's like they're trying to make you pick between the two? What gives?

That is such a cute amiibo.

Poochy is a new Nintendo star. Mark my words.

@HipsterDashie Typical Nintendo.

'You buy twice!'

The sad thing is GAME was charging £44.99 for JUST Pokémon Sun at the prelaunch I attended. Nintendo themselves are selling a game & an exclusive amiibo for the same price & I'm guessing GAME is forced to follow.

Quite expensive. I picked up the original Wii u yoshis wooly world with the green yoshi amiibo from Amazon for £31.99.

Nintendo uk store is always the expensive option, that's if they have it at stock first.

Will just buy the game again tho for the 3ds as the boys a big fan.

Preordered the amiibo box set for my son earlier on....

I want the game with the amiibo... I wonder when will Amazon have it up for preorder here.

I saw the amiibo version on pre-order in my local store (I'm not UK resident) and it looks so good. I would love to get the pack with the amiibo figurine, but I'm still waiting for the price announcement of the Switch and in case I would need to save a lot more than the guessed price, I'll get the amiibo only or buy it when it will be on a special sale

Yeah, I already got the Yarn Yoshi bundle for the Wii U way back when so I'm good. I wouldn't want this living reminder of the hellish trials of that one lava cave level from the OG Yoshi's Island.

Poochy ain't stupid; his designers were.

This would have been a great game to release alongside a New 2DS, get the kids addicted to playing with amiibo, that Poochy is too cute, and the original game on Wii U was the best use of amiibo I've come across, single player helper.

Already got my bundle preordered through Amazon.ca
Can't wait to play this game. Never got around to getting the Wii U bundle.

You will all buy this because Poochy is the cutest thing ever. Yes, even if you don't have a 3DS.

@Solid_Stannis You must of not played Woolly World (so buy this version). Poochy works much better than his unfortunate job in the original game.

Amazon uk is taking pre orders. It's 44.99

I really didn't want to buy this game, as I already own the Wii U version but I must have that amiibo.
The misses is going to kill me....

Poochy...

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy

I was hoping to see you here
I'd love a mega variant!

I'm sidestepping the issue of double dipping on this one and buying the bundle, then giving the game to my fella... maybe after I've had another quick run through

Annoyed they're not selling Poochy without the game. I wouldn't mind if it was a new game with a new Amiibo, but it's a game I already own with a new Amiibo. I don't want to buy the game again for the toy. And I won't be. Which sucks as I was really looking forward to this one!

@Rexx great idea. I hope they do.

@Ogbert I think they said Poochy would be sold separately at a later date, at least in North America (but buy the game anyway).

@Rexx I'd buy every last Mega Yarn Poochy in the world.

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy I'm not in NA and I'm not buying the game anyway because I've already bought it for WiiU.

May just have to purchase this!!

@cromartie117 You do.

Wait! I can't buy it as a standalone?

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy

Save some for the rest of us!

@Barbiegurl777 Alot you say?

Still not as cute as Poochy.

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy
What is Alot ? Is that animal real ?

@Anti-Matter Its a meme. Sort of.

Created by an English teacher no less.

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Makes sense really. So many people use "alot" instead of the correct "a lot" so I am sure meme-ing the concept keeps the tears at bay. I am grateful to anyone willing to be a language teacher. Humanity's defining form of communication, and yet it is derided, misused and taken for granted by just about everyone.

Ah well. I'll be importing Poochy so I don't have to buy the game.

@Ryu_Niiyama loving the new perfume gif.....Best one in a while. Will we ever see a mega yarn perfume!?! That's the big question here.....

I never got round to picking up Wooly World for Wii U so may get this. I'd rather an Epic Yarn HD+Wooly World double pack for Switch though!

@ULTRA-64 Why thank you! I think it is because it is all Nocchi all the time! (She is dancing by herself in this one) I have the one with the three of them dancing together but I think it is a bit busy for a web avatar. Also, yarn Perfume would pretty much kill me with cuteness. The anime versions fans draw of them are cute enough.

On Topic (sorta) : does anyone know if Nintendo is going to release more of the poochy and yoshi videos? The "go fetch" one had me in stitches.

@Ryu_Niiyama 30 of them come with Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, which you're going to buy.

Because everyone has to buy it to support Poochy.

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy viva la poochy!!!

@ULTRA-64 Sì, yo amo Poochy!

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy I think...I was just threatened by the Sequin Mafia. Now you see here Mister fluffy, I bought the wiiu version and I'll import the amiibo, but I will not be cowed even by a pup as adorable as you.
