Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World: new trailer & new details revealed

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.
