Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World announced for 3DS

Nintendo has announced Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World for 3DS. It will launch on January 19, 2017 in Japan, and February 3 in North America and Europe.

The 3DS version features every single stage from the Wii U version of Yoshi’s Woolly World, as well as exclusive new stages where you play as Poochy.

The 3DS version of the Wii U game contains every stage available in the original version, plus new features. There are exclusive new stages that focus on Poochy, where players must time Poochy’s jump to collect beads and Poochy Pups as they head for the goal. Poochy Pups are little helpers who jump on suspicious spots to indicate where players should look for secrets and collectibles.

Nintendo, in collaboration with Japanese stop-motion animation studio Dwarf, are collaborating on 30 animated shorts featuring Yoshi and Poochy that will be included in the 3DS version of the game.

A yarn Amiibo figure of Poochy will launch alongside the game on February 3.
