Nintendo has officially announced that Yoshi and the Mysterious Book will release for the Nintendo Switch 2 on May 21. Additionally, it released a new trailer for the game, titled “Creature Discovery!”
The latest trailer outlines the major mechanic of the game, which entirely revolves around the creatures within the Mysterious Book. You can interact with certain creatures, find secrets in their behaviors, and even place them on Yoshi’s back. Once you make all the discoveries about a creature, you can even name them, or let naming responsibilities go to the sentient book, aptly named Mr. E. The trailer also teases the game’s multiple worlds and the inclusion of Bowser Jr.
