After a very disappointing launch in Yoshi's New Island on 3DS, Nintendo is quickly trying to win Yoshi's Island fans back with Yoshi's Wooly World.

These titles varied by geographical location, but they all made purchasing Mario Kart 8 worth it.

A day after the article was posted, it was announced that these toys would be usable across a variety of Nintendo games and not be tied to one specific game franchise like the toys used in Disney Infinity or Skylanders.
