Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World Reviews
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 visual 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.
Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World may not revolutionize the platforming genre, or even reinvent the wheel compared to its predecessor but it's a magnificent port filled with lush visual details, a wide variety of challenges and a lifespan set to keep players around the game for long and fun hours. This is a game that deserves all attention it can get.

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.If you have the Wii U version it's a tough decision on whether to double dip; both versions deliver the same terrific core game. If you haven't played this on Wii U and like Yoshi, 2D platformers or charming games, though, then this is a must-have for the 3DS.
Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World is the greatest thing to have happened to wool since knitting was discovered by the Egyptians. Aside from the necessary visual downgrade, it comes as a welcome surprise that the unbeatable platformer is so faithfully recreated on Nintendo 3DS. Don't miss it.
Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World gives a second chance for those who have missed the original Wii U version. The 3DS edition offers all the beautiful and brilliant levels already available on Wii U, with some small changes and new modes with Poochy as the main star. Perhaps not enough motivations to justify another purchase for those who already own the game, but definitely enough for everyone else.

A 3DS port of a charming platformer, made of a love for details. A must-buy for the handheld, too.

A good but not great platformer that is almost as good as the original game on Wii U but considerably smaller. But Poochy is lovely.

Yoshi's Woolly World is still a funny and colorful platform game, but the screen size and resolution don't allow the original art direction to shine as it should.

If you missed out on the original Woolly World, don’t make the same mistake on the 3DS. This is a beautifully made, brilliantly designed 2D platformer with lots of charm and some fantastic levels. It gives Mario’s dino chum his best outing since the original Yoshi’s Island 20 years ago.
Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World won't make a huge impact on the gaming year of 2017, but is a solid, well-crafted 3DS-remake with great accessibility and variety amongst its colorful levels.

Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World is, at times, more than just a 3DS port and actively tries to become its own identity. But just like its logo, Poochy is the bit on the side, tacked on as the sidekick, and never given the limelight. We’ve all been there Poochy, just ask poor Luigi. As a port, it just doesn’t quite stitch the entire tapestry for a polished finish.
If you never got the chance to play the original on Wii U, then this portable iteration may be a good deal for you, with its brilliant level design, cute protagonists and colorful visuals. Otherwise, there's nothing new here that would deserve a second buy for the owners of the almost-last gen Nintendo console.

I would certainly recommend the game to people who love the Kirby and Super Mario franchises, but if you’re teetering on indecision, then you might want to move on, especially if you already own the game on the Wii U.
