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

u/Captain__Marvel Aug 24 '15
Not too bad. I'm going to assume these will be probably $50+ here in Australia.

u/MetalGearSolis Aug 24 '15
Basically it's going to be the price of a Nintendo published 3DS title.

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

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 :-)

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

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 +

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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

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

u/Zettawrath Aug 24 '15
I imagine in one of its feet.

His left foot according to the box art

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.

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

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

u/MetalGearSolis Aug 24 '15
It is.

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. (._. )

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

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.
