This week on Nintendo Pow Block
Nintendo announced a brand new game this week, but its not for Switch or Switch 2.
On this episode of Nintendo Pow Block, Edward Varnell and Corey Dirrig share their first impressions of Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, discussing its gameplay, charming art style, and the whimsical, adorable tone that makes it stand out. They also dive into Nintendo’s newly announced mobile game Pictonico, a bizarre and creative experience that transforms your personal photos into chaotic, WarioWare-style mini-games.
They also talk about new reports claiming Nintendo could manufacture up to 20 million Switch 2 systems, growing Gamescom 2026 hype, LEGO Donkey Kong rumors, and the possibility of Genshin Impact finally arriving on Nintendo hardware.
They discuss the Pokémon Company’s controversial plans to fight scalpers using government ID verification, Sega teasing a possible Crazy Taxi revival, and Embracer restructuring around major franchises like Tomb Raider and Lord of the Rings.
