Yoshi and the Mysterious Book for Nintendo Switch 2 Set to Launch May 21!

The release date for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, the Nintendo Switch 2 title starring Yoshi, has been set for Thursday, May 21, 2026!
The latest video showcasing the gameplay has been released.

Enter the world inside the encyclopedia to investigate creatures

At the request of Mr. E, an encyclopedia that fell from the sky, Yoshi enters the world inside the book to investigate various creatures.
The creature being investigated this time is a frog-like being.
Through Yoshi's actions, players will discover various characteristics of these creatures.

When Yoshi tries to eat the creature, it turns out to be a bit bitter.
When such a discovery is made, the details are recorded on the screen.

When the creature is placed on its back, it emits many soap-like bubbles.

You can reach high places by using the bubbles

It appears that by jumping from bubble to bubble before they pop, Yoshi can reach high places.
By making good use of the creatures' characteristics like this, you can reach places that cannot be reached by Yoshi's power alone.

Furthermore, it was discovered that feeding it an apple changes its color and makes the bubbles it produces larger.
Giving it different food will turn it pink, and other changes, such as heart-shaped bubbles, can also be seen.

Once the investigation is over, you can name the creatures, and the discovered details will be recorded in the encyclopedia.
By progressing through the investigation, new pages will open, allowing you to meet new creatures.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is available for pre-order at the Nintendo eShop and the My Nintendo Store.
Pre-orders will also begin at game retailers and online shops as soon as preparations are complete.

Please check the My Nintendo Store for more details.
