RUMOR - Yarn Yoshi amiibo were hands-off at E3 2015 due to NFC theft fears
Nintendo was happy to bring their Yarn Yoshi amiibo to E3 2015, but they wouldn't let the press go hands-on with them. You could sit and stare all you wanted, but no touching. Why is that, you ask? Rumor has it that Nintendo was afraid a member of the press/show attendee would remove the NFC chip from a yarn Yoshi. Removal would be easy, seeing as how the NFC chip is just sewn into the bottom of the amiibo. Thanks to nn64 for the heads up!
