Overview
- Nintendo made a free demo of Yoshi and the Mysterious Book available on the Nintendo eShop worldwide on Wednesday.
- The demo contains the entire first chapter, Chapter 1: Wildwoods, letting players explore a forest biome and complete five creature-focused stages.
- Players who buy the full game can transfer their demo save data so progress and names given to creatures carry over into the main release.
- Nintendo briefly posted and retracted an official news item about the demo before outlets and retailers confirmed the eShop listing, with coverage now showing the demo is live.
- The release follows Nintendo's recent trend of offering more Switch 2 eShop demos for first-party titles and gives players a low-friction way to try the game's exploration and puzzle-focused design before buying.
