    Personally I hate the idea to kill a wiiu exclusive, perhaps it didn't sell well. I hate that because it's similar with Mario Maker, they offer the same game mechanics but with LESS features because these games were designed for a home console.

    This game remarks on its original Woolly World game for the Wii U, but it adds nothing new to the formula to distinguish it from its Wii U counterpart except the fact Poochy takes over this 3DS port as you can already see by its title. Purchase it or not, stick with the Wii U counterpart and love it.

    while yes it is overall a solid game, with nice graphics Its a big cash grab re-release of a game made for the Wii U with barely any new content yet packaged as a wholly new game... don't bother if you already own the Wii U version

    Great game. Although it's not very challenging. The woolly world is cute and charming.

    personally i think it is a good game but for some reason i think that it doesn't live up to the Nintendo standards. I think it is a great game for kids but it might be a little complicated. it takes a lot of time to get used to the controls for me and I think that it is too expensive. if you have a wii u you should not buy this version of the game. just get the wii u version instead.

    While Super Mario Maker 3DS felt crippled and downgraded, Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World feels equal. With the Wii U version getting updated to support Poochy & Poochy Dash there’s not too many advantages to the game, but also no downsides. If you missed this on Wii U, there’s no excuses not to pick this up, but if you do own it already you may just want to look into adding the amiibo to your collection. Now if only we had some Poochy Pup amiibo….

    The disappointing Poochy levels and lack of multiplayer aside, I had a lot of fun with Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World. That’s coming from someone who has a love hate relationship with platformers that leans more towards the hate side of things. If you’ve never played Yoshi’s Woolly World before, then you’re in for a treat. If you have, then you know what to expect; It’s still the same great game.

    Maintains most of the fun, but loses some style. [Issue#184, p.78]
