Jeff might be pleased to know that Yoshi's Woolly World does have an alternate control scheme with a Wii Remote that allows you to aim the egg with the gyro sensor. Why that option isn't available with the Wii U GamePad, maybe Good Feel feared for people's wrists.
I wonder if they will get to try out the game with Wii Remotes. Unless I was imagining things out of Treehouse stream, using a Wii Remote allows you to aim eggs with the gyroscope sensor.
Why this option wasn't an option with the Wii U GamePad, I'd have to ask the developer Good Feel.
Still no idea why this took so long to come to the USA.
The easiest guess is so they can have some supply of the Yarn Yoshi amiibo for North America.
As for the rest of the Wii U's 2015, there is Fatal Frame 5, Mario Tennis Ultra, and Animal Crossing amiibo Festival coming. However, the only flashy game left is Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Those wishing for a Chibi-Robo game and wondering why the little robot is in a platforming game now, Nintendo has all but said out loud that it is due to the low sales of previous games and a desire to make Chibi-Robo a "hit character." There was one recent interview that has said this might be the last big chance for the character.
Anyway, this looks like a delightful and charming platforming game. I hope reviews will detail that it gets tricky near the end.
