Official title is Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. Game is launching on February 3rd, 2017 in North America and Europe. January 19 in Japan.

This is a port of the Wii U game, but there will be exclusive new levels featuring Poochy the dog, who gets its own yarn amiibo! (See images below. Will launch alongside the game.) Nintendo is also adding 30 short films starring Yoshi and Poochy to the 3DS version, created in collaboration with Dwarf Animation Studio.

Footage: https://youtu.be/IpXQtFbRChg?t=1577 (at 26:18)

Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World on Nintendo 3DS family systems is an adventure game set in a world of yarn.

This game contains some new features, as well as every stage available in the Wii U version of Yoshi's Woolly World. There are exclusive new stages focused on Poochy. Time Poochy’s jump to collect beads as you head for the goal. Poochy Pups also appear for the first time. These little helpers jump on suspicious spots to indicate where you should look for secrets and collectables.

Animated shorts are being developed in collaboration with the stop motion animation studio, Dwarf. Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World contains 30 of these shorts, showing the daily lives of Yoshi and Poochy.

A yarn amiibo figure of Poochy will also be released. There will be a special bundle that includes the game and the Poochy amiibo available, too.

Same game with new features.

Patrick Young · Sep 1, 2016

The NX game development loop is already upon us.

Servbot24 · Sep 1, 2016

Fine I guess. Seems like padding to the new console. Could be much worse as far as padding goes though.

maxcriden · Sep 1, 2016

Very smart of Nintendo to get the most bang out of their development buck this way.

Tillbo · Sep 1, 2016

Never got this for Wii U so will be nice to get the handheld version

????? JUST GIVE THE WII U KID ICARUS: UPRISING!!!!! Please!

disco · Sep 1, 2016

Gosh, Nintendo should just port all of their games back and forth for all of eternity.

Enjoyed it last year? Enjoy it again this year!

mrmickfran · Sep 1, 2016

Bet it'll be 30 fps like Returns 3D.

KingSnake · Sep 1, 2016

I'm starting to doubt the benefit of a single Nintendo system if they are practically developing two of the same games for the current systems.

Gaspard · Sep 1, 2016

Another A-tier 2D platformer for 3DS. I may double dip.

Tizoc · Sep 1, 2016

I will be pre-ordering this sucker sooooooooooooooooo hard
once I find the cheapest UK retailer selling it :V

Well, it means they won't have to do that anymore.

KooopaKid · Sep 1, 2016

Good ol gaf

The Lamonster · Sep 1, 2016

Hopefully Pooch is available outside of a bundle.

Noobcraft · Sep 1, 2016

Neat. Hopefully it's a good port. It looks like a fun game and I don't have a Wii U.

TunaLover · Sep 1, 2016

3DS is stealing Wii U games :c

Yukinari · Sep 1, 2016

Taking a beautiful game and shrinking it down to a tiny screen is such a stupid idea honestly.

I mean ill buy the Poochy amiibo but this is dumb.

El Odio · Sep 1, 2016

Might double dip on the game but will buy that Poochy amiibo.

City 17 · Sep 1, 2016

I'm in.

Laffer · Sep 1, 2016

I wish for an update of the WiiU version to include the new levels and videos...

Neoxon · Sep 1, 2016

Any chance that the Poochy levels could be DLC for the Wii U version?

Join the Hyrule Warriors fans

Oregano · Sep 1, 2016

Nintendo is doing too Wii U what Sony did to Vita.

Forkball · Sep 1, 2016

I'm almost certain Poochy predates Poochie. SHOW SOME RESPECT.

I was really just waiting on a sale to get this on Wii U, but I might just pick this up instead. I think the Poochy pups are there because people thought secrets in the original game were too obscure.

Piers · Sep 1, 2016

European Direct was best.
Yoshi Ouuiii Warudo.

Locked behind the Poochy amiibo maybe?

My guess would be they started experimenting a good while ago and already have some kind of common framework in place.

Wouldn't surprise me if this was a New Nintendo 3DS-only game either.

ryseing · Sep 1, 2016

YESSSS

I now have an excuse to buy a Yarn Yoshi.

Nintendoga · Sep 1, 2016

wow, didn't see that coming. Count me in.

gerudoman · Sep 1, 2016

Nintendo keeps giving me reasons not to buy a Wii U, lol.

PhoenixSFT · Sep 1, 2016

I have no qualms double dipping on this, Woolly World on the go is perfect!

killroy87 · Sep 1, 2016

Footage looked good, but playing this game without being able to see all the tiny little details in the visuals is robbing it of a lot of its charm.

Still, it's an incredible platformer, and deserves a bigger audience.

Allan Holdsworth · Sep 1, 2016

Awesome. I can finally play it. And I need that Poochy amiibo.
