Yoshi and the Mysterious Book Is Video Game Bubble Wrap - NVC 813

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is the latest Switch 2 exclusive, and this week's NVC is all about breaking down what works and what doesn't in this experimental platformer. Join Logan Plant, Tom Marks, Nick Limon, and Kinda Funny's Tim Gettys as Tom and Tim talk about their uneven experiences with Yoshi, including how making discoveries for the first time is charming, but there's not much joy left to find after each box has been checked. Plus, the panel talks about Yoshi's identity crisis and how this risky direction doesn't quite solve the problems the series has faced over the last 30 years. Stick around to hear about Pictonico, that weird new mobile WarioWare-like game coming next week, and Nick's trip to the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto, Japan. 00:00:00 - Intro & Yoshi and the Mysterious Book Review Discussion 00:46:10:09 - Pictonico! 00:52:53:47 - Nintendo Museum & Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
