I may get this, but I'm a little feared on the Amiibo functionality; I do have a Yoshi amiibo, though. =p
Why would amibo affect your decision to buy a game.
Personally, amiibo have had no influence on me getting a game.
I own both Yoshi amiibo now, and even if I didn't, I'd still buy Woolly World.
Well, amiibo isn't the main reason why, the main reason is that I'm not a big fan in the Yoshi's Island series. :/

Oh, this'll be different I guarantee you.
No babies.
Plus, it'll be, judging what it looks like, a mix of Yoshi's Story and Kirby's Epic Yarn.

Bowser Jr. has the mouth bandana around his neck. Baby Bowser/Koopa Kid does not.

I can't really see his actual chest that well... :/ Koopa Kid is the same person as Baby Bowser?! o_O
I'll clear this up.
Bowser Jr. is Bowser's son, and has never been in a Yoshi game. He wears a bandana around his neck.
Baby Bowser is the younger version of Bowser, the equivalent of Baby Mario, he doesn't wear a bandana.
Koopa Kid, is the Mario Party henchman of Bowser, who disappeared after Mario Party 7, he was originally called Baby Bowser, but got his name changed to Koopa Kid to differentiate the characters.

Agreed. Koopa Kid is in Mario Parties, but is also known as Baby Bowser. I don't play the Yoshi series; I might possibly get Wooly World.

And then there's Partners in Time, which decided to give Baby Bowser a blank bandana.
 
Luma Party, change the release date information to Friday, June 26, 2015 for Europe (put in the day of week!), Saturday, June 27, 2015 for Australia, Autumn 2015 for North America, and it's still 2015 for Japan.

New screenshots have appeared for Yoshi's Woolly World, and they look gorgeous! Too damn adorable and cute!

Check out the preview from Nintendo Life!

They say it's shaping up to be one of the best Yoshi games in 20 years and Baby Mario is absent!

- enemies cannot be simply unraveled with Yoshi's tongue, but instead have to be bested by first being bound in wool and then jumped upon
- enemies with the likes of Shy Guy, Nipper Plant, Lakitu, and Gusty
- every enemy has been rendered beautifully to reflect the artistic style whilst retaining the look and feel
- writer praises visuals highly
- Yoshi has a more traditional health bar and takes damage as you'd expect him to
- able to recover health by collecting hearts that have a distinct resemblance to the jumping star collectables from previous Yoshi games
- Handles essentially identically to previous games in the series, with Yoshi's iconic tongue being his primary method of despatching enemies
- Yoshi doesn't consume enemies and turn them into eggs, rather he unravels them and turns them into balls of wool
- can be used to bind larger enemies made of materials other than wool, create warp pipes, boxes, platforms, and many other parts of the world to help Yoshi achieve his goal
- also uncover hidden areas simply by unraveling them via a loose bow, revealing secret passageways or hidden items
- plently of collectibles throughout the journey
- Flowers allow you to achieve 100% in a stage and access a mini-game to garner more Beads
- Beads are used as a generic currency and can be used to buy special badges that can assist you in a level
- Stamp Patches are used to unlock Stamps to use on Miiverse once a certain amount have been collected
- collecting all five Wonder Wools in a level unlocks a new Yoshi design to use throughout any and every level should you so desire
- ranging from Flower Yoshi and Circus Yoshi to one that's based upon the Shy Guy enemy
- Yoshi can transform into an umbrella, a mole, a giant version of himself, and a motorbike
- these transformations occur a few times per world and task you with reaching a goal within a certain time limit, or face having to restart it all again
- Mellow Mode doesn't remove all the challenge from the game
- difference in Mellow Mode is that you control Winged Yoshi whose Flutter Jump is replaced by the ability to float at Yoshi's current height indefinitely
- easier to play in this mode, but you'll still take damage and failing a level is still a very real possibility
- you can have a friend join in the fun as a second Yoshi
- run around simultaneously in an effort to reach the goal, and should you run out of balls of wool, one Yoshi can be used as a short-range substitute


And here is the analysis video from GameXplain!

 
Decided to bump this since we got a lot more details today.

Nintendo passed along a handful of new details about Yoshi’s Woolly World today.
First, we now know that the game features over 50 levels. Each one is sprinkled with “surprises and hidden collectibles.”
Speaking of collectibles, there are a ton of them in Yoshi’s Woolly World. Here’s a recap of each:
– Hearts: restore Yoshi’s life gauge
– Stamp Patches: unlock stamps for Miiverse
– Smiley Flowers: increase the chances of unlocking a bonus game
– Beads: can be saved up to purchase Power Badges between levels, which when activated allow – for example – Yoshi to unleash powered-up Ground Pounds, or even be able to play alongside woolly canine companion Poochy
– Wonder Wools: find all five in every level, unlock uniquely-patterned Yoshis (over 50); use one of these styles by visiting Yoshi Hut on Craft Island
Nintendo’s official overview of the story in Yoshi’s Woolly World is as follows:
Once upon a time in Craft Island, a paradise located in the middle of Handmade Ocean, the peaceful lives of different-pattern Yoshis are rudely disrupted by the dastardly Kamek, who has kidnapped Yoshis by turning them into balls of yarn using his magic. Having escaped the surprise attack by this notorious villain, Yoshi must set out on an adventure spanning various Worlds, with beautiful landscapes ranging from lush woolly meadows to fluffy mountain peaks. And at the end of it all…well, Yoshi might encounter an even fiercer villain behind this pesky plot…
Some levels in Yoshi’s Woolly World will feature transformations. The character can turn into “a fast-swimming Mermaid Yoshi, a quick-firing Sky Pop Yoshi aeroplane, and even a Moto Yoshi, where Yoshi turns into a high-speed motorbike.”

Oh, and have some screenshots and artwork as well,

All those Yoshis with different designs are so cute and charming.

Here's a trailer for the game, showing off the Yoshi designs. It's short, but sweet.

I'd get the Special edition when it comes down here. :p
Hopefully it does, but we don't know if it will yet.

Luma Party, the Australian release for the game is now Thursday, June 25, 2015 instead of Saturday, June 27, 2015. Change the date for Australia, but also move it to before the European release. Source
