Nintendo has release a selection of new screenshots for its upcoming Wii U platformer Yoshi's Woolly World and, predictably, they're adorable.

　　The screenshots show the unbearably cute Nintendo character adventuring in a colourful knitted world. Take a look below.

　　Considered by many as a spiritual sequel to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Mario's little green companion will once again be able to swallow enemies. However, instead of just producing eggs to throw, Yoshi produces little balls of yarn which have a number of platforming applications.

　　Nintendo has announced a series of new Amiibo for Yoshi's Woolly World. Three figures, all which have the knitted look, will be available, each spawning a second Yoshi when used on the Wii U's NFC reader. The Yoshi Amiibo will be available in green, blue, and pink.

　　Nintendo is expected to announce its plans for E3 2015 today at 9 AM PDT / 12 Noon EDT. The company has already said it won't be talking about NX, smartphone games, or its quality of life experiences at E3.
