Even the manliest of men cannot resist a Yarn Yoshi Amiibo

Nintendo made a bold move in hosting a new Nintendo Direct on April Fool’s day. A lot of fans, including myself and Matt, were a little worried that some of the news from the event was just too good to be true. Nothing included was a joke though, even the greatest line of Amiibo’s yet to be revealed.

Nintendo revealed a new line of Amiibo figures to coincide with the upcoming Yoshi’s Woolly World for the Nintendo Wii U. These aren’t your standard, plastic figures, but instead small, yarn Yoshi’s that are every bit as cuddly as they are cute (yeah, I said it). These little plus figures will work just like the standard Amiibo figures, only they will be soft to the touch.

The exact release date of what I am officially calling the greatest Amiibo figures announced to date was not given, however they are being targeted for this Fall alongside the game.
