May is shaping up to be one of the busiest months the Switch 2 has had since launch, with these eleven games landing inside the next four weeks and a lineup that swings from new IP to long-awaited ports.

Two games stand head and shoulders above the rest. First is Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, a brand-new first-party platformer with the kind of art style that just makes you smile while playing with everyone's favorite green dinosaur. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 on May 21st.
