Giant Yarn Yoshi Amiibo Comes Out November 15
if you’ve been wondering what happened to that giant yarn Yoshi Nintendo promised us back at E3, wonder no more. This week the company finally committed to a release date for the coveted stuffed dinosaur: November 15, 2015. Its official name is Mega Yarn Yoshi.
If you’re waiting for the part where I say it’s a one-store exclusive, you’ve become rightfully jaded about the amiibo market — and you’d be correct. Mega Yarn Yoshi will be exclusively sold at Toys R Us, which will surely result in brutal tugs-of-war all over the country between 7-year-old children and 34-year-old neckbeards. It’s also hitting the market dangerously close to the peak of the holiday shopping season. Have fun out there.
Toys R Us has also managed to score other exclusives as well: the 3-pack of Mii Fighter amiibo will only be available there, and they go on shelves November 1. They’re also getting an exclusive restock of the Animal Crossing Villager amiibo, which will be out November 8. If you want any of these, be prepared to hang around a children’s toy shop a whole lot — and try not to look creepy.
