The Nintendo Switch 2 is getting an adorable platformer in Yoshi and the Mysterious Book this May, the ninth title in the popular Yoshi franchise. The latest trailer comes after the game’s announcement in September last year, and showcases a title that’s quite charming in its approach, gameplay and presentation.
Yoshi’s obviously going to be front and center in this new experience, but he’s joined by Mr E, the titular mysterious book, who’s quite intent on getting Yoshi to do a bit of not-so-light reading. You’re going to be diving right into his pages, and there’s a lot to find once you’re in his world. Yoshi will discover and interact with a multitude of creatures, finding ways to use their unique traits to his advantage while the world throws up helpful tips and even a few puns to keep things light.
The game’s distinct visual style and animations look quite good, and its bright and vivid worlds fit right in with its light and breezy tone. The trailer’s quite adorable and gives you a good idea of what to expect when this one drops for the Nintendo Switch 2 on May 21, 2026. You can check it out below.
