Yoshi’s Woolly World, previously known under the working title Yarn Yoshi, is coming to Wii U in the first half of 2015, Nintendo announced at E3.
The game follows Yoshi on an adventure through a world made from yarn, cloth, and textiles. Yoshi will use yarn to weave wool platforms and warp pipes to reach new areas, and unravel the secrets and puzzles of the world by pulling yarn walls apart.
A two-player mode will introduce a second (red) Yoshi who can help out the first player in tricky situations. Yoshi can eat up and spit out the other Yoshi whenever he likes, which can be used as a form of attack.
