Nintendo Has a Huge Yarn to Share in Mega Yarn Yoshi

Recently, Nintendo released an update on its upcoming amiibo, which will include a giant yarn version of its popular video game character, Yoshi.

Mega Yarn Yoshi, an outsized version of Nintendo’s Yarn Yoshi amiibo, will go on sale November 15. In the game, Yoshi’s Woolly World, when players tap it against their GamePad controller, Mega Yarn Yoshi activates the Double Yoshi, a second Yoshi to use at any point in the middle of a stage. Players can also use it to save their favorite Yoshi pattern to the amiibo. The standard-sized Yarn Yoshi is equipped with the same functionality.

Nintendo will also be releasing amiibo based on Super Smash Bros., including a three-pack of Mii Fighters, due on November 1; Mewtwo, to be released on November 13; and Falco, due out in stores on November 20.
