Rumor: Nintendo wouldn’t let Yarn Yoshi amiibo be held at E3 due to fears of the NFC chip coming off

The Yarn Yoshi amiibo were on display at this year’s E3. That being said, Nintendo didn’t allow attendees to either hold them or see the bottom of the plushies.
That may seem strange, but there’s a method behind the madness. Supposedly, Nintendo was worried that an attendee would remove the NFC chip, or it would fall out on its own. That’s because the NFC chip is apparently sewn into the yarn.
