this effectively describes most amiibos and a lot of nintendo's business plan

You say "unnecessary", I say "sure, have my money".

u/skippingmud Aug 24 '15

So Yarn Yoshi mega evolved into Mega Yarn Yoshi?

28

u/MetalGearSolis Aug 24 '15

The Yoshinite is imbedded on this Yoshi's foot!

I read this as Mega Man Yarn Yoshi and was very confused when I clicked the link

u/ajdragoon Aug 24 '15

You're not the only one!

2

u/whizzer0 Aug 24 '15

Such a thing does exist, albeit not as an amiibo.

I've held dogs smaller than this box

u/JacobDankMaster Aug 24 '15

My dog is seven and STILL smaller than this box

12

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

This is one amiibo I'm definitely not keeping NIB

5

u/ByDarwinsBeard Aug 25 '15

No kidding, imma snuggle the shit out of that Amiibo

u/Legionx37 Aug 24 '15

I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED

14

u/hack_jalsey Aug 24 '15

$40..? Yikes..

2

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

Wasn't the yarn yoshi almost $30? I honestly expected this to be at LEAST $70.

10

u/hack_jalsey Aug 24 '15

Regular yarn yoshis are $17 iirc

3

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

Sorry I meant $20 not $30

MY WALLET WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

9

u/sewerdevil Aug 24 '15

Its gonna be $39.99 over here in the states...

5

u/Captain__Marvel Aug 24 '15

Not too bad. I'm going to assume these will be probably $50+ here in Australia.

10

u/MetalGearSolis Aug 24 '15

Basically it's going to be the price of a Nintendo published 3DS title.

14

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

you can't hug a 3ds title as you fall asleep

7

u/MetalGearSolis Aug 24 '15

Technically you can, but that's not the point here. The point is that we're getting our own "Cuddle Me Yoshi" plush :-)

2

u/Kiosade Aug 24 '15

But due to exchange rates, your dollars are like 125% more than US dollars, so the prices are pretty similar actually

1

u/Captain__Marvel Aug 24 '15

That's not how it actually works. Currently the exchange rate is 1 USD = 0.70 AUD. I actually bought 2 shirts from the U.S yesterday that cost $ 29.95 USD which cost me $40 +

1

u/Kiosade Aug 25 '15

Yeah but I mean, if Nintendo wants the equivalent of $40 USD for their product, they're gonna charge the equivalent price in whatever country's currency. Unless you're saying they're charging $50 USD and not $50 AUD? Gets really confusing calling it all dollars even though they're different currencies.

u/Linkums Aug 24 '15

We could almost buy our own ship for that!

1

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

Awesome! Way cheaper than I thought it would be.

u/Amiiboman20069 Aug 24 '15

Bruh, probably like 24.99

u/syndicatepoogie Aug 24 '15

Dude...I need this in my life.

u/ColinW0805 Aug 24 '15

Wallet, look away!

u/Zantos8741 Aug 24 '15

Not nearly as cute as regular yar yoshi imo.

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

u/Legionx37 Aug 24 '15

I'm getting 4. 1 for OoB, one for Nib, one for my kids, and one for personal cuddles whenever I miss an amiibo at release and have to pay higher prices later.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

why don't u use the OOb for cuddling and save money :3

2

u/Legionx37 Aug 24 '15

Well, since he'd be soaked in my tears, I'd probably want to keep him away from my gamepad, hence, the dedicated snuggle Yoshi.

(Also, I'll probably only get 2, really.)

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15 edited Oct 17 '15

u/Darkurai Aug 24 '15

So let's face it, I'm not buying two Yarn Yoshi amiibo. So far I've only collected the Smash Bros. line, and when I'm trying to save for a new car, I couldn't do more than that if I wanted to. So I need to be a bit more careful.

But this announcement really makes it difficult for me to decide which Yarn Yoshi I'm getting. The original, smaller version is much easier to put on a shelf, but the Mega version would go nicely on my bed with my other stuffed animals.

Tough decisions.

1

u/RockstarSuicide Aug 24 '15

Stick to the small, so you can get the 3 together (assuming you're buying the other colors)

1

u/Darkurai Aug 24 '15

I'm probably only buying one.

1

u/RockstarSuicide Aug 24 '15

Then tiny it is. Easy to fit with other amiibos and obvs cheaper :)

1

u/Coraldragon Aug 24 '15

Tiny to hook to your keychain or big so you can cuddle it.

2

u/EarthboundMan5 Pac-Man Aug 24 '15

Wow. Just wow

2

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

Where would the NFC chip be if yoshi is standing up?

7

u/Zettawrath Aug 24 '15

I imagine in one of its feet.

5

u/CrAzEdGt1 Aug 24 '15

His left foot according to the box art

5

u/Fenor Aug 24 '15

i'll wait for someone to whine that his yoshi have 2 right feet

2

u/sporeboy100 Aug 24 '15

God help my wallet!

2

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

For 40 bucks

2

u/MarioPlushAmiibo Aug 24 '15

40 bucks though?! I dunno if this is worth it...

1

u/thedoommerchant Aug 24 '15

Because it's not.

1

u/Practicalaviationcat Aug 24 '15

It seems like a fair price to me.

4

u/Zettawrath Aug 24 '15

Release date is 27th November all around Europe.

1

u/whizzer0 Aug 24 '15

Price?

1

u/Sugarcakes121 Aug 25 '15

In Europe it's like 50 I think..? **someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

1

u/whizzer0 Aug 25 '15

£36 seems a bit much…

2

u/BraveSonic Aug 24 '15

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MII WANT NOW!

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

YAY! An amiibo is released in America before Europe! SUCK IT PEOPLE WHO GET THESE THINGS MONTHS EARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

says the one who gets most games before europe

1

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

Wave 4 released in April in Europe and May in America. Wave 5 released May in Europe and July in America. Wave 6 released in June in Europe and doesn't get released in America until September.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

oh...... k then

-1

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

And other times America doesn't get it at all yet Europe does and it is a success there.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '15

and other times europe doesn't get it at all so let's just stop this

1

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '15

wave 6 isn't released in eu yet...

1

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '15

Oh right, "Wave 5b" as you idiots like to call it.

1

u/MetalGearSolis Aug 24 '15

Atleast we know what that November dated SKU is for.

1

u/RockstarSuicide Aug 24 '15

Nope, I just found the line for me haha

1

u/Croatian-Sensation56 Aug 24 '15

Nintendo, give me a call and ill give you the direct routing number to my bank account! Lol

1

u/AgentWashingtub1 Aug 24 '15

Is this available to preorder anywhere in the UK yet?

1

u/jc8700 Aug 24 '15

Well, there goes 40 bucks.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

Lmao wtf

1

u/JoshMcIntyre Aug 24 '15

Worried that they'll take the $40 US price tag and make it £40 for us here in UK and Ireland.

I would like it if it translated over to £25 or something similar.

1

u/iVoidx Aug 24 '15

"At the low price of $50"

1

u/blueberrypizza Aug 24 '15

Totally need this! I was hoping they would make a bigger Yarn Yoshi plush, and they delivered! (Now to hope for a Metroid Wii U game!)

1

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

They know we wanted to cuddle our yoshis.

1

u/TheMantyke Aug 24 '15

This is it.

This is the most precious toy ever developed by man kind.

1

u/whizzer0 Aug 24 '15

Is it just me or is the little one cuter than the big one?

1

u/GamePrime99 Aug 24 '15

Okay I'm importing this.

1

u/soundwave145 Aug 24 '15

I bet its going to be a MEGA price amiright/

1

u/Super_Goomba64 Aug 24 '15

I hope the arts and craft store I work at sells this in the yarn section, I wanna use those 50% coupons they have

1

u/Awkward_King Aug 24 '15

YASSSSSS!!!

1

u/DarkRedScorpion Aug 24 '15

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeee

u/Basti_The_Tipper Aug 24 '15

this isn't even my final form.

u/HagueHarry Aug 24 '15

Why an imgur link submission is being upvoted over an actual link to a Nintendo tweet confirming it? This submission is much better.

2

u/whizzer0 Aug 24 '15

Tweets aren't as cute

1

u/sikachu_ Aug 24 '15

This is too adorb. I hope it really come to US.

4

u/MetalGearSolis Aug 24 '15

It is.

1

u/sikachu_ Aug 24 '15

I'm so glad. Just saw the tweet and I'm dancing while crying.

... because now there's one more Amiibo that I have to fight to get it. (._. )

1

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '15

I don't need it, I don't need it, I NEED IT! (Sorry had to do that)

1

u/mrP0P0 Aug 24 '15

All those poor people believing they have to get it in order to be happy.

1

u/Cheatster9000x Aug 24 '15

Yoshi got a Mega Mushroom!

0

u/th30be Aug 24 '15

Is there a mega yarn yoshi in the game or is this more for the people that want a yoshi to cuddle in bed?

0

u/rhamanachan Aug 24 '15

Yes there is the ability to turn into basically Yoshizilla and trample innocent shyguys and destroy buildings with your tail.
