Yoshi's Wooly World and two other games will appear early next year on the Wii U, Nintendo confirmed today.

Nintendo previously announced that Yoshi’s Wooly World was slated for a broad 2015 release window when it showed off the dinosaur's new adventure at E3 2014. Nintendo made no mention of the upcoming Wii U title's release schedule since then, but today the company revealed it was on track for an early 2015 debut.Originally announced as Yarn Yoshi during a Nintendo Direct broadcast early 2013, the Yoshi-centric game is the spiritual successor to Kirby's Epic Yarn. IGN thought it looked "charming as heck" when we saw it during E3 2014, noting the tactile feel of Yoshi’s Island’s suite of caves, mountains, and valleys. T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas won't be appearing alone next year, though. Nintendo has a few other games set to arrive at about the same time: Kirby's Rainbow Curse and Splatoon, for the Wii U and Code Name: S.T.E.A.M for the Nintendo 3DS.
