In this guide, we've rounded up a selection of the best Yoshi and the Mysterious Book pre-order deals, including any pre-order bonuses and gifts being offered by Nintendo and retailers in the US and UK.

Pre-order Yoshi And The Mysterious Book

Here is a selection of retailers offering Yoshi Switch 2 pre-orders. Pre-orders from My Nintendo Store UK come with a couple of bonuses: some magnetic bookmarks and a Folded Tote Bag.

There are also bundles available for £5.49 extra that add a Yoshi plush of your choosing.

(Remember, this is a Switch 2 game and won't work on Switch 1!)

Pre-order Yoshi And The Mysterious Book with eShop Credit

Alternatively, if you're looking to go digital, you can top up your eShop credit here. In fact, the digital version is cheaper (in the UK it's £49.99 versus £58.99, and Nintendo has confirmed that from this game forward, digital pricing in the US will be cheaper, too - $59.99 digitally and $69.99 physical), so if you're looking to save some pennies and don't mind going digital, this is the way.

Just make sure to apply the credit to the account you're using to purchase the game!
