Biggest Highlights You Can’t Miss
Three Shadow Drops in One Showcase — Minishoot’ Adventures, Blue Prince (last year’s acclaimed puzzle roguelite), and Rotwood from the creators of Don’t Starve all landed immediately on the eShop. That’s practically unheard of in a single Indie World.
Denshattack stole the opener — a slick Switch 2 train-action title with an exclusive in-game skin for Switch 2 owners and a playable demo available the same day.
Blighted, from the makers of the legendary Guacamelee!, is an isometric Souls-like Metroidvania set in a psychedelic Western world — easily one of the most hyped reveals.
Heave Ho 2 brought the laughs — the co-op party game returns with full online support and Nintendo Switch 2 Game Share compatibility, making it an instant must-have for friend groups.
Grave Seasons — a Stardew Valley-style farming sim with a dark twist (one NPC is secretly a serial killer every playthrough) — snuck into the closing sizzle reel to huge fan excitement.
