The release date of Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World is just over a month away, and Nintendo just released a new trailer for the game alongside a press release which highlights the game’s features.

By scanning the Yarn Poochy amiibo, players can summon Poochy to help them out. When you scan the amiibo during Poochy Dash stages, you will instead unlock fast-paced Time Attack challenges, which reward you with new Poochy patterns when you beat them.

Mellow Mode is back from the Wii U version, but in addition to having wings, Yoshi can also count on the help of the Poochy Pups, who will seek out secrets and hidden collectables and also can be used to attack enemies.

A great variety of amiibo can be used to unlock new patterns for Yoshi, and new additions for the 3DS version include the Splatoon and Animal Crossing amiibo.

As previously announced, the game also includes 30 stop-motion animations by the Japanese animation studio Dwarf.

Finally, an update is coming to the Wii U version of Yoshi’s Woolly World on February 3rd that will add compatibility with the Yarn Poochy amiibo.

Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World will be released on February 3rd in Europe and North America.

Nintendo’s upcoming “Super Nintendo World” theme park at various Universal Studios parks was talked about quite a bit recently. Now, it seems like Super Nintendo World won’t be the only video game-themed attraction at Universal Studios – Square-Enix announced a collaboration with Universal Studios Japan today. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Dragon Quest, a “Real Battle Attraction” is coming to the Universal Studios park in Osaka. There, visitors will be able to grab weapons, enter dungeons and fight monsters for an authentic Dragon Quest experience.

Further details have not yet been announced so far, like the time frame for this event. The fact that this is a celebration of Dragon Quest’s 30th anniversary seems to suggest that this is a limited-time only event that won’t last very long, but we don’t know for sure yet.

The first Global Mission in Pokemon Sun & Moon is now over – unfortunately, players were not able to reach the goal of 100 million caught Pokemon, catching only 16,423,231. As a consolation prize, players will receive 100 FC, or 200 FC if their game is registered on the Global Link. Game Freak also put up a notice which states that the targets of future Global Missions will be altered based on the results of this one.

Speaking of future Global Missions, the next one was also announced today. Players will have to look for Pokemon using the Island Scan feature. The mission will start on December 27th.

Playtonic announced today that Yooka-Laylee will be released on April 11th, 2017 on all previously announced platforms..except Wii U. According to Playtonic, due to “unforeseen technical issues”, a release of the Wii U version was made impossible. However, to make up for that, Playtonic are “working very closely with Nintendo” to bring the game to the Nintendo Switch instead. Further details will be shared “early next year”.

Kickstarter backers who opted to get the Wii U version can instead get the game for any of the other platforms for which the game launches on April 11th, or to the Switch version once further details are announced next year. The wording seems to imply that the Switch version will not launch on April 11th alongside the other versions. Those who backed the Wii U version and want a refund instead of switching to another version are urged by Playtonic to contact them via the Backer messaging system on Kickstarter.

Finally, here’s a new trailer for the game; hopefully we will be able to play this on the Switch soon:
