During last month’s Nintendo Direct broadcast Nintendo took the wraps off the beautifully cute Yarn Yoshi plush amiibo. They also detailed the just what those amiibo would do in the game. With this Yarn Yoshi amiibo (and the standard Yoshi) you would be able to activate another second helper Yoshi to aid you on your wooly quest.
Now thanks to the packaging for the Australian version of the game (which recently moved up release dates) we’ve learnt that other amiibo other than Yoshi will unlock something rather cool.
Other amiibo like Mario, Luigi, Peach and “more” will unlock another character, a Yoshi design based on the character scanned. The back of the box doesn’t show what these Yoshi could look like but a Mario cap wearing, red and blue Yoshi would be quite cool to see. Then just think of the other combinations with other characters. Wario, Ness, Pac-Man Yoshi? Will those be supported? We’ll have to wait too wait and see on June 25th.
More than 450 games added this final week.
What a year.
Gotta go fast.
