Nintendo closed out its Indie World Showcase with a shadowdrop for one of 2025's best games on the Switch 2, meaning the system now has one of the best modern puzzle games.

The Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 are the home of indie darlings, thanks to many of them being low-tech affairs that don't require high-end machines to run. Usually, Steam gets them first, but Nintendo's systems usually aren't far behind.

Blue Prince is a strange mixture of puzzle and roguelike, where the player must construct a mansion room by room, using clues and items they find in each run to progress a little further each time.

Blue Prince is an odd game, but it resonated with fans, with many outlets citing it as the best puzzle game of 2025. Indeed, it was in the running for Game of the Year for many publications, though it was often outdone by Hades 2 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

While it's unfortunate that Nintendo fans had to wait until 2026 to play Blue Prince, it's still well worth playing for those who haven't experienced it on other platforms. It's one of the most unique puzzle games of all time, and those who haven't been spoiled about the mysteries of Mt. Holly Estate should check it out.
