Touch fuzzy, get dizzy
Before Nintendo settled on the name Yoshi’s Woolly World, the game was known as Yarn Yoshi. Do you remember that? It was only a few short years ago. The art direction was originally more in line with Good-Feel’s prior game, Kirby’s Epic Yarn, until it formed its own identity.

So Yoshi’s Woolly World used to look a lot like Kirby’s Epic Yarn at one point in time! Found this unused texture. pic.twitter.com/x2SzxQ07PO

My favorite image is the one up top, but that illustration set against corkboard is real cute.
To think, if Good-Feel had stuck with the Epic Yarn look, we might be living in a world without the Yarn Yoshi amiibo and this bug-eyed little monster. That isn’t a thought I’d like to entertain.
