Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World

If you’ve never played the Wii U version, and you’ve enjoyed Yoshi’s previous adventures – or if you just generally enjoy side-scrolling platformers – than you really can’t go wrong with this game. However, if you’ve played the Wii U version, there really isn’t much new content here to warrant a new purchase, unless you absolutely need a portable version or more Poochy.

Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World offers what is essentially a straight port. It doesn’t feel downgraded, even if the visuals aren’t quite as sharp. Exchanging co-op for the dedicated Poochy auto-run levels and a better mellow mode is a worthy trade. Woolly World is still the best Yoshi’s Island game since the original, even on this less-powerful platform.

Yoshi’s faithful Poochy is loveable new addition, but he feels underused; he appears only in a handful of animated shorts, a sparse challenge mode, and as little more than a series of assists in the super-easy ‘Mellow’ mode. He definitely makes tracking down all of the numerous collectibles more enjoyable, but it’s a shame this instantly likeable character doesn’t have more to do that’s unique to his skills.

Though the gulf between two very different difficulties is not fully fixed by its additions, from the updated Mellow Mode to the extra Poochy levels, Poochy and Yoshi’s Woolly World gives you what you put in--it can either be almost frustratingly hard for a determined collector or a good fit for someone who’s just looking for a fun, relaxing few hours of platforming.

Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World is as fun on the 3DS as the original is on the Wii U. The levels are just as crafty as before, the visuals take a slight hit but are still colorful and creative, and the soundtrack is so gosh darn charming. It's the best Yoshi game on the 3DS, and if you don't already own it on the Wii U, I would suggest picking it up.

If you don't mind the visual downgrade and the loss of cooperative play, you'll probably enjoy the new additions on tap here (most of which, unsurprisingly, revolve around Yoshi's canine companion Poochy). At its heart, this is the best follow-up to Yoshi's Island to date, so it's absolutely worth your time if you missed it on Wii U.

Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World is a worthy port for anyone that may have missed the Wii U installment. The level layouts are excellent, the sugary aesthetic is unique, and the protagonists are easily liked. While the lack of co-op and additional Poochy Dash levels are noticeable, Nintendo has still put together a wonderful handheld edition of one of its best side-scrollers in recent years. It’s accessible, expertly crafted, and simply enjoyable – all of which is an incredibly hard line to tow.

Sew-tably adorable, Yoshi’s delightful platforming makes a charmingly inventive addition to the 3DS line up.

There are a lot of great platformers on the 3DS, and if you’ve already played Woolly World on the Wii U, it may not be worth shelling out another $40 for this lightly updated version. That said, there’s a real charm to the level design, some real challenge in its item hunt, and a whole lot of cuteness to its aesthetic. It’s not a game of the year, but for fans of Yoshi, it’s hard not to recommend this one.

Yoshi’s Woolly World was one of the best looking games on the Wii U and that has translated quite well to the Nintendo 3DS with Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World. The titular Poochy is mostly an ancillary piece of the game through a series of mini-games and shorts, but they pair well enough with the other new additions to make one think about double dipping with Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World.

While the graphical cutbacks are disappointing, Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World is an unbelievably cute game with inventive mechanics and levels, and a solid platforming base.

‘Poochy and Yoshi’s Woolly World’ has a fun, adorable look and feel ideal for fans and newcomers of all ages. Yielding the perfect combination of fun gameplay, customization, and creative world designs, this game is definitely a must play.

The transition to 3DS works well; players can easily steer Yoshi through the colourful world of yarn and cloth. Poochy Pups are an adorable addition, and designing patterns with the stylus is a breeze. Due to the ability to change the difficulty at any point throughout the game, Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World is very accessible to both experienced players and new players alike.

While Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS was below the standards of its original in our view (and scored as such), the same can't be said of Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. It takes fantastic original material and carefully adapts it for the portable, with extras compensating for one lost feature. In the process it becomes an elite 3DS 2D platformer, joining its Wii U predecessor in that company.

Aside from the visual downgrade and lack of coop, Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World is a faithfully recreation of the Wii U original for the 3DS. It is still a vibrant and appealing game, especially suited for younger children. For older gamers, hunting all the collectables for 100% completion is where the game gets challenging. Coming to handheld devices has hurt the game somewhat though.

Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World is the definitive release, and a solid return to form for a dinosaur who was on the brink of becoming extinct on handhelds - again. A must-have for any 3DS owner who enjoys and appreciates the classic side-scroller.

If you are up for a meaty platformer, Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World will keep you entertained throughout February.

If it weren’t for the absence of the two-player co-op mode we’d consider this the superior version of the game. But losing that feature is a blow, as it was a great way to enjoy a platformer that is otherwise a little too laidback and forgiving for its own good. The end result is still charming and enjoyable, but it’s yet another Yoshi game that fails to do anything new for the character or the genre in general.

There are still plenty of challenges and content to be found in the ‘3DS version of the game. The uniqueness and musical charm are present, just not in a way that complements the console version of Yoshi’s Woolly World.

Un juego para niños, un juego posiblemente fácil (aunque conseguir todos los ovillos, las flores y demás es bien complicado; los niveles secretos no solo son muy difíciles, sino que también son los mejores), pero uno que derrocha saber hacer y sensibilidad.

Así pues, concluimos este análisis de Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World con este veredicto: no presenta muchas novedades respecto al juego de Wii U, pero ni falta que le hace. Tal y como está, es uno de los títulos que más diversión os pueden ofrecer en 3DS. Y eso, lectores de nuestras entretelas, es mucho decir. Un excelente plataformas para 3DS (y no anda escasa de representantes) y una de las mejores opciones para la conola. Completísimo, alegre y con el punto justo de dificultad.

Estos títulos son los que hacen que Nintendo siga resultando de confianza y una seña de calidad. Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World "escapa" de Wii U y ofrece una experiencia completa, desafiante (o relajada, lo que queramos), y mantiene un nivel visual suficientemente fiel al original como para hablar de uno de los grandes en la portátil de dos pantallas de Nintendo.

En conclusión estamos ante una muy buena versión del juego de Wii U adaptado al 3DS, lo que pierde por portabilizarse lo gana en pequeñas novedades que se agradecen y en definitiva le debes dar una oportunidad si te gustan los juegos del género.

Sigue justo de contenidos y no se ve tan espectacular como el original, pero Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World es una extraordinaria manera de dar ternura a los usuarios de Nintendo 3DS que no tuvieron la oportunidad de lanzar ovillos de lana en Wii U. Es una muy buena versión, con todo el amor plataformero del original… y hasta algunas novedades exclusivas (como el mayor protagonismo de Poochy).

Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World es un excelente juego de plataformas. No nos vamos a andar con medias tintas: es el mejor Yoshi portátil que ha habido nunca, y eso tiene mucho mérito. Tiene mérito no solo por lanzar un título así de completo, al que no le falta de nada, sino por haber podido trasladar de manera tan satisfactoria un proyecto tan ambicioso como éste de Wii U a Nintendo 3DS… con las limitaciones que ello trae consigo.

Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World es una notable conversión a Nintendo 3DS de un gran juego de plataformas. Sí, sus novedades no son suficientes como para justificar su compra nuevamente si ya os lo pasasteis en Wii U, y visualmente no se ve tan bonito por las limitaciones de la consola, aunque eso no quita que sea un producto muy cuidado y bien realizado, y una compra muy recomendable y atractiva para todo aquel que no haya podido disfrutar de este fantástico mundo de lana todavía.

Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World es divertido, adorable y un buen juego en general, pero en definitiva, no es el mejor de plataformas que puedes encontrar para 3DS.

Wolly World war auf der Wii U eigentlich das bessere Spiel, denn das Bisschen Schärfe mehr, wird der Liebe, die in die Details geflossen ist, einfach gerechter als das, was der 3DS zu leisten im Stande ist. Trotzdem ist Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World kein schlechtes Spiel geworden – zumindest nicht, wenn man sehr genau weiß, was einen erwartet.

Jeder noch so unwichtige Gegner wackelt derart liebenswert durch die Levels, dass ich ständig den Drang verspürte, ihn zu knuddeln. Auch das Spieldesign profitiert von Tricks wie dem Aufribbeln, Plattquetschen oder Einspinnen von Gegnern. Zwischendurch wird es aber auch mal fade – z.B. in den einfach gestrickten Minispielen. Oder wenn ich abseits des Weges zu viel Krempel anhäufen musste, weil mir der normale Weg als geübter Spieler zu wenig Herausforderung bot.

L’effet wouah a considérablement disparu et Poochy & Yoshi’s Wolly World devient alors un plateformer comme n’importe quel autre. Rien de dramatique cela dit, mais la particularité qui faisait de Yoshi’s Wolly World un jeu unique en son genre a été laissé sur la route de la transition. On s’y attendait certes, mais ça fait quand même un peu chier de la boulette. Et c’est le cas de le dire.

Yoshi's Woolly World n'a pas rétréci au portage sur 3DS, il prend même de l'ampleur avec Poochy et ses jolies séquences d'animation en volume. Certes la trame de fond ne change point, mais elle se distingue sensiblement sur la forme grâce à l'effet de relief, qui fait passer la baisse de résolution au second plan et préserve le rendu soyeux de Tricot'île.

Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World fait le travail en proposant un portage de qualité, digne de la version Wii U, avec quelques ajouts qui ne manquent pas d’intérêt. Les niveaux de type runner où l’on contrôle Poochy permettent une variation dans le gameplay et le mode relax est encore plus accessible qu’auparavant, notamment pour les plus jeunes. En fait, on aurait dit le jeu taillé pour la 3DS !

Yoshi's Woolly World aurait pu se contenter d'un simple artifice visuel pour sortir du lot, mais il réussit malgré tout à offrir de jolies séquences de plates-formes pour gagner en densité. Inventif sur le plan visuel, moins côté gameplay, le level design se repose trop sur l'aspect collectionnite pour donner de l'ampleur au challenge, comme bien souvent chez les jeux Nintendo récents.

Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World é digno de ser apelidado de um trabalho bem feito, estando representado todo o charme da aventura original, só que desta vez em formato portátil. Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World não oferece novidades revolucionárias para quem jogou o jogo original mas é uma óptima oportunidade para quem ainda não o conhece. Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World é um jogo magnífico e que merece ser jogado.

Riassumendo, Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World è una conversione davvero ben fatta con molte simpatiche aggiunte rispetto all'originale e, anche se manca il multiplayer locale e la campagna principale è la stessa della versione Wii U, si va prepotentemente a prendere il posto tra i migliori platform di sempre su Nintendo 3DS.

Yoshi è sempre una garanzia. Anche su Nintendo 3DS riesce a essere testimonial di un gioco di piattaforme ben pensato ed eseguito, che riesce a dare qualcosa sia agli appassionati che ai neofiti. I primi, però, troveranno pochi slanci creativi davvero degni di nota e i limiti tecnici della console portatile Nintendo vanno a ridurre in maniera significativa l’impatto dell’ottima direzione artistica originale.

Se ciò che cercate è un titolo divertente, graziato da un ottimo level design e, soprattutto, non avete avuto modo di recuperare la versione casalinga, allora potreste aver trovato pane per i vostri denti.

Wooly World была яркой звездой на небосводе Wii U. Но на Nintendo 3DS она заметно тускнеет: сказываются и компромиссы в графике, и достаточная насыщенность библиотеки. Конечно, у Nintendo есть определённая планка качества геймплея, ниже которой её игры практически никогда не опускаются — и Йоши эту планку выдерживает.

Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World weet net als op de Wii U indruk te maken, vooral vanwege de spelwereld, maar ook vanwege de creatieve platformelementen. De ontwikkelaar heeft daarvoor heel slim gekeken naar voorgaande platformtitels - ook buiten de Yoshi-serie - en een onweerstaanbare mix gevonden.

Aan de andere kant maakt het allemaal niet uit: Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World is een superleuke platformer, dat staat vast. Dankzij een onovertroffen (wollen) stijl, met kleur overgoten beelden en vermakelijk springplezier is dit een van de leukste platformers die je zult vinden op de 3DS. Heb je het origineel echter al gespeeld of heb je plannen om die te gaan halen, dan moet je hier vanaf blijven.

Poochy & Yoshi's Wooly World to może nie najsłodsza, ale z pewnością jedna z najsłodszych gier na Nintendo 3DS, która jednak nie wybije wam oczu różowością i serduszkami, a raczej wciągnie w zbieranie włóczek i odkrywanie tajemnic. Myślę, że to dobra gra dla osób obu płci w każdym wieku.

Jag kan inget annat än att rekommendera Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World och har du svårt för att bestämma dig vilken version du ska köpa så rekommenderar jag att du inhandlar Nintendo 3DS-versionen. Tyvärr finns det inte mycket nytt gentemot originalet, men Nintendo har gjort ett utomordentligt jobb med att konvertera spelet till Nintendos handhållna format och det ser fantastiskt ut för att vara ett bärbart spel samt funkar klockrent.
