Yoshi and the Mysterious Book review: Nintendo's best Switch 2 kids game

Nintendo’s Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a gentle Switch 2 platformer aimed at very young players.

The game turns platforming into a low-pressure learning space, encouraging repeated creature interactions and experimentation.

Its storybook presentation is charming, but the review says it lacks depth as a puzzle-platformer.

The game also fits Nintendo’s broader strategy of spotlighting characters beyond Mario after The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
