So the Yoshi’s Woolly World release date in the United States isn’t until sometime in the late summer or early fall, but anticipation is already building—at least in part because of the adorable yarn Yoshi Amiibo figures. Those are almost certainly going to launch day-and-date with the game, but who cares about that? The real question is: When will the yarn Yoshi Amiibos be available to pre-order?
Yoshi’s Woolly World Amiibo Preorders
The Amiibo figures for Yoshi’s Woolly World are… insanely cute. That much goes without saying. And because they are so cute, and because speculators love buying Amiibos because they’re assholes, at least two of the three colors of yarn Yoshi Amiibos are going to be hard to get.
When the preorders for the Yoshi’s Woolly World Amiibos go up, they’ll sell out immediately. That’s just the way Amiibo preorders work nowadays. So when will they go up? Well, let’s look at the U.K.: According to Yahoo, preorders for the Yoshi Amiibos opened up in Britannia on April 23. The game is coming out in Europe on June 26. That’s a two month gap. That’s loose guidance, considering we don’t even know exactly when the game will come out over here.
Chances are Nintendo will announce the Yoshi’s Woolly World release date at E3, and preorders will go live relatively soon after, without much of a pre-announcement. That’s the way these things have gone so far. They’ll sell out right away from all the retailers who have them. That’s almost a certainty. But there’s one silver lining: The green Yoshi’s Woolly World Amiibo is actually going to be packed in the special edition of the game, like the Mario Amiibo was for Mario Party 10. And that means you’ll actually be able to get it. As for the other two? Just gotta cross your fingers.
