Sequin Yoshi, beaded Yoshi, and other cute prototypes

Including Yoshi in the style of Kirby’s Epic Yarn

Nintendo settled on a knitted yarn style for Yoshi’s Woolly World and I don’t know what’s better: it or Kirby fashioned out of clay in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. Either way, we win.

There were other potential designs for this latest Yoshi outing, though. Nintendo EAD general manager Takashi Tezuka appeared on the company’s E3 2014 Treehouse stream earlier today to share some prototypes, as shown in the gallery below, and oh my gosh. Adorbs.

Good-Feel, indeed.
