Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a 2D platformer for Nintendo Switch 2, developed and published by Nintendo.
The game sees a talking encyclopedia named Mr. E suddenly fall from the sky onto Yoshi’s Island. Inside his pages, the Yoshis discover a wide variety of creatures and discover their unique characteristics.
Yoshi can eat them, jump on them, or carry them on his back, to use their various unique abilities. Some cause flowers to bloom, others blow bubbles – each new discovery leads to new avenues of exploration.
