Yoshi and the Mysterious Book – Overview Trailer – Nintendo Switch 2

Yoshi and his friends embark on a journey after a talking book named Mr. E falls from the sky. Mr. E, having lost its memory, asks Yoshi to research the unusual creatures within its pages. Players control Yoshi, utilizing actions like extending his tongue to gobble things, aiming and throwing eggs, flutter jumping, and ground pounding. A new move, the tail flick, allows Yoshi to carry creatures on his back. Discoveries are made by interacting with the environment, such as ground pounding near flower buds to make sprouts appear or in water to grow grass. Each discovery results in an illustration in the book. There are also "big discoveries" that sparkle, which, once found, conclude the research for a particular creature. After a discovery, players can name the creature themselves or ask Mr. E for a suggestion. Creatures are listed in the order they are found. Tokens collected during gameplay can be used to predict discoveries and unlock hints for creatures yet to be found. The book contains a variety of creatures, including one that sings, a bee-like swarm, and a multiplying fluffy one. As Yoshi progresses, more chapters unlock, expanding the research to diverse environments like mountains, seasides, and valleys, each with unique creatures. Bowser Jr. and Kamek are also searching for something within the book. The game, "Yoshi and the Mysterious Book," will be available on May 21st for the Nintendo Switch 2 system, with pre-orders open now. The game supports amiibo figures, which can provide fortunes and tokens to aid in predicting new discoveries.
