An excellent game

About the game, we said that “Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is one of the big surprises of the year that, perhaps because of its childlike appearance and because it comes from Nintendo, will go unnoticed by a lot of people. But it’s a game as brilliant as it is adorable that will delight anyone who wants a game that goes beyond traditional video game design“. Placing it among the most serious candidates for game of the year.

Although Nintendo Switch 2 came out in 2025, it hasn’t been until 2026 that its catalog seems to have started to take off. With the release of exclusives like Star Fox, Pokémon Pokopia, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book or the still-to-come Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, The Duskbloods, Orbitals, Splatoor Raiders and the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the console seems to finally be managing to gain traction.
