Attention: Nintendo is making a ‘giant’ version of the Yarn Yoshi amiibo
Make some space in your hearts, fans of cute things, because Nintendo is producing Mega Yarn Yoshi, a larger version of the existing Yarn Yoshi amiibo.
Mega Yarn Yoshi works with Yoshi’s Woolly World just as the normal-sized Yarn Yoshi does: Tapping either of the yarn amiibo to the Wii U GamePad activates “Double Yoshi,” an ability that brings a second Yoshi into the game. In addition, players can save their favorite Yoshi pattern to the amiibo.

Nintendo will release the standard Yarn Yoshi amiibo Oct. 16 alongside Yoshi’s Woolly World. The game will cost $49.99 on its own, and it will also be available bundled with a green Yarn Yoshi amiibo for $59.99. The three Yarn Yoshi amiibo — green, pink and light blue — will cost $16.99 each.
The bigger Yoshi amiibo has a higher price tag to match its size. Mega Yarn Yoshi, which will only be available in green, will be released Nov. 15 for $39.99.
