Nintendo knits up a super-sized Yarn Yoshi Amiibo

As part of a wide-ranging announcement of games, accessories, and release dates on Monday, the company unveiled Mega Yarn Yoshi, a plush oversize Amiibo figurine of Mario and Luigi’s green-skinned dinosaur pal. The much bigger version of the amiibo has been announced on the Nintendo of Europe Twitter.account, sending collectors into a bit of a tizzy. The green Yarn Yoshi amiibo will be exclusive to the game bundle, while the blue and pink Yarn Yoshi amiibo will have to be purchased separately. When the massive dinosaur’s foot is placed on the NFC Reader, the “Double Yoshi” ability activates.
