Yoshi, who showed special charm in the new Mario movie 'Super Mario Galaxy'. Through 'Yoshi and the Mysterious Pokedex', released on the 21st, he takes on the role of the protagonist this time.

Nintendo officially released the action platformer Yoshi and the Mysterious Pokedex on the 21st. It is a new title in the main platformer series, coming out about 7 years after Yoshi's Crafted World. The game was developed by Good-Feel, who have released numerous Yoshi series titles, and was released exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2.

The game maintains its signature platformer elements while adding a new gameplay style. On the island where the Yoshis live, a talking encyclopedia called 'Mysterious' suddenly falls from the sky. Yoshi, having received a request from the encyclopedia, enters its world to investigate the strange creatures that appear in each chapter. Each of these creatures has its own unique ecology and abilities, and the player discovers these characteristics one by one through Yoshi's various actions. The discoveries are recorded as images on the screen, and the game progresses as the encyclopedia grows. In particular, unlike the normal world, the world inside the encyclopedia is rendered with a texture reminiscent of stop-motion animation, and intentionally low frame rates are used for some character movements, such as jumping. Through this, it presents a new visual style with a direction distinct from Yoshi's Woolly World. The game also includes a feature that allows players to ride creatures with different abilities on their backs to conquer stages. Understanding how Yoshi interacts with various creatures and how to solve the map is key to conquering the stage. Meanwhile, this title was planned as one of Nintendo's lineups commemorating the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros.
