Discover a world of quirky creatures

Play as Yoshi and help a mysterious talking book named Mr. E remember the creatures living within his pages. Open him up, explore colorful habitats, and experiment with each creature to learn all kinds of surprising facts across every page.

On your journey, you might find Bowser Jr. popping up in habitats! What could he be up to…?

Meet the characters: Get to know the friends and rivals of this tale.

• Yoshi: Yoshi and his friends are ready to delve into Mr. E’s pages and discover what mysterious creatures live there.
• Mr. E: After crash landing on Yoshi’s Island, this mysterious talking book has forgotten what’s in his own pages.
• Bowser Jr.
& Kamek: This troublesome pair are searching for something within Mr. E, stirring up mischief wherever they appear.

Study the creatures: Discover all kinds of fascinating creatures, then give each one a name! Check out some of the creatures you’ll find on your expeditions.

• Crazee Dayzee: Can be found across multiple habitats in a wide
variety of colors.
• ???: Burrows underground and breaks rocks with ease.
• ???: Likes to relax and catch fish, no matter how big they are.
• ???: Can be picked up and thrown like a dart.
• ???: Can be held up in the air, allowing you to float slowly downwards.

Make exciting discoveries: Hop into a creature’s habitat and interact with it to learn its characteristics and abilities. Smash it, carry it around, even give it a taste! Who knows what you’ll find? Some discoveries can help you learn about other creatures, including things from previous chapters you might have missed…

• What happens when it inhales something? This creature spits out a Smiley Flower when it inhales a Crazee Dayzee, but it doesn’t seem to care for Yoshi.
• How does it react to Yoshi? This creature pops when you jump on its head or gobble it up. You can even use it to blow a bubble.

Find your next big discovery: Each habitat has a big discovery to uncover. Once you find it, you’ll be able to move on to the next area. But that doesn’t mean your exploration has to be over. You’ll also get some hints about discoveries you haven’t made yet.

Use moves to make discoveries: Yoshi has a few egg-cellent tricks he can toss out—sometimes literally! Use different moves to find out how various creatures react, which can lead to a new discovery.

• Gobble: Taste a creature with Yoshi’s tongue and possibly turn it into an egg.
• Throwing Eggs: After gobbling creatures, you can throw eggs at other creatures or objects.
• Flutter Jump and Ground Pound: If you jump or start to fall, Flutter Jump to hover for a bit. While mid-air, you can Ground Pound creatures below you.
• Tail Flick: Put creatures or objects on Yoshi’s back with a flick of the tail. Repeat the move to throw or perform a special action with the creature you’re carrying.
• Sprint: Move for a while in the same direction to break into a sprint. If a creature is riding on Yoshi’s back, it might react.
• Observe: Sometimes it’s good to hang back and watch how a creature behaves. You can also duck to stay out of the way.

Get your fortune read with amiibo: Tap a compatible amiibo™ figure* each day to get your fortune read by Mr. E. You’ll earn in-game tokens based on which fortune you receive, which you can use to unlock hints about discoveries.

Hunt for treasure in a wild adventure!

In this single-player-focused game, play as a mechanic working with Deep Cut—a trio of swashbuckling musicians—and venture out into the mysterious Spirhalite Islands!

Customize your character, kit yourself out with mechanical gadgets and ink-splattering weapons, and take on waves of enemy Salmonids as you raid the islands for treasure.

A series of images featuring Shiver, Frye, Big Man, Salmonids, bosses and the Mechanic scroll slowly across screen.

• Mayday! Mayday!: A strange storm forces a helicopter carrying Deep Cut to the Spirhalite Islands to make an emergency landing. After a month of scraping together a hideout ship, you and your crew are ready to raid the nearby islands for the rumored treasure you came for—and find a way home!
• Scour the Spirhalite Islands: This mysterious cluster of islands has a surprisingly diverse environment, both above and below ground. Go see what’s what!
• Head out on raids: Pick a destination and see what goodies you can find. Fight Salmonids, gather salvage, and uncover the mysteries of the islands.
• Score treasure: Scoop up purdy Spirhalite Crystals and other salvage that you find out there—you never know what might come in handy! Some stages may also contain rare relics that can power you up. You’ll keep everything you pick up on solo raids, no matter what happens.
• Tinker with your gear: Not gonna lie: Salmonids can put up a fight. Use the salvage you recover during raids to craft all sorts of enhancements back at your Hideout Ship. Whether you’re upgrading gear, leveling up weapons, or enhancing home base, every little bit helps!
• Inspect your gadgets: Each tank is compatible with its own range of specialized gadgets, which you can further customize using the loot you find. Equip the one that matches your play style—or swap tanks between missions to try a different approach.
  • Speed Tank: Compatible with gadgets that boost your mobility. They can’t hurt you if they can’t hit you
  • Power Tank: Feel like tackling the swarms of Salmonids head-on? This tank is for you, boss!
  • Tactical Tank: Perfect for the thinking Inkling, this tank employs gadgets that let you control the battlefield your way.
• Get moving! Just, uh, you know, stay out of the water, ‘kay?
  • Ink: Splash the stuff all over the place using your weapons. It’s offense, it’s defense, it’s transportation—make good use of it!
  • Swim: Change into Swim Form to move quickly through your own ink color (and refill your tank). You can swim up ink-covered walls, through certain barriers, and more.
  • Soar: Move into a gust of wind to soar across gaps or gain height. Handy for exploring—or getting a better angle on your enemies!
• Who’s who? Get to know your treasure-hunting crew.
  • THE MECHANIC: This is you! Your fix-it skills seem to know no bounds, which is great for upcycling all that salvage you find. Plus, you can choose your own look!
  • SHIVER: Cool, calculated, and relatively collected, she descends from a long line of shark tamers.
  • FRYE: This feisty eel charmer wears her emotions on her sleeve. Sometimes, those emotions look a lot like fists.
  • BIG MAN: Ay. Ay! (The loveable heart of the group. As head of the Manta Clan dance school, he knows a thing or two about busting a move!)
• Roll out with your bot buddy: One member of Deep Cut will raid alongside you in a powerful bot construct. Aside from helping in battle, you can jump off them to soar to new heights or build up powerful Showstopper attacks. Wield them wisely to unleash absolute heck!
• Get wrecked, Salmonids!: Fight off hordes of Salmonid enemies that seem a little more vicious than usual, including some never-before-seen forms. On the flipside, the loot they drop can make your life easier in the long run. Salmonid numbers can get out of hand quickly, so watch your back!
• Play your way: Splatoon Raiders can meet you where you’re at!
• Dial in your difficulty: Find your sweet spot with Tourist, Raider, and Survivalist difficulty levels. Change it anytime! Just know that this only affects combat, not the loot you can get.
• Call on friends for help: You can also join with up to three other players online* or via local wireless**. Call ‘em in if you need help with a stage (or just want to splat Salmonids with a friend). The game will scale player power automatically to help make sure everyone has a good time.
• Gear up with amiibo: Tap in a Splatoon series amiibo™ figure*** (like these) to unlock stylish fits for the Mechanic.

[Germany & Brazil] Pokémon Champions Junior (September 9, 2026)

Developer: The Pokémon Works

Price: $00.00

Genre: Simulation

File Size: N/A

Earlier this year, Pokémon Champions for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 received a higher age rating in Germany and Brazil than in certain other regions due to regional age classification requirements.

Pokémon Champions Junior, which features a lower age rating to ensure younger players can participate in Championship Series events, will release on Nintendo eShop in Germany and Brazil on 9 September 2026. This version of the game excludes select features, such as in-app purchases, Pokémon trial recruitments, and various in-game items. It is otherwise largely the same game as Pokémon Champions.

Starting with the 2027 Championship Series season, VGC players attending events in Germany who will be under 12 years of age on the first day of the event and players attending events in Brazil who will be under 14 years of age on the first day of the event must play with Pokémon Champions Junior. Players of those ages or above may use the standard version of Pokémon Champions. Both versions are fully compatible with each other.
