Nintendo announced more than a dozen new 3DS games and some exciting additions to the Amiibo family during a Nintendo Direct press conference Thursday.
Amiibo collectors can look forward to a yarn Poochy in February to accompany the launch of Poochy & Yoshi’s Wooly World. Four new Legend of Zelda Amiibo are also coming for the holidays, including one based on the original Link sprite from The Legend of Zelda on the Nintendo Entertainment System.
