Join Yoshi for a new adventure in Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch 2!

One day, on the island where the Yoshis live, a talking encyclopaedia named Mr. E suddenly falls from the sky. His pages are full of creatures to discover, so Yoshi dives in to learn all about them…

While examining the creatures, Yoshi can eat them, jump on them, or even carry them on his back. Use Yoshi’s abilities to reveal all sorts of characteristics about the inhabitants of Mr. E’s pages. Some cause flowers to bloom, others blow bubbles – each new discovery leads to new avenues of exploration, and even more discoveries!
