Overview

The unique and highly addictive roguelike Blue Prince is now available for Switch 2, announced at today’s Nintendo Indie World Showcase. This version adds mouse control via the underutilized Joy‑Con feature.

Gameplay

Blue Prince is a wonderfully designed puzzle game that oozes atmosphere. Players explore a gigantic mansion, but there’s a twist: you actually build the mansion as you explore, room by room, by placing magical blueprints.

The goal is to fully explore the mansion and solve its many mysteries. Because blueprints are limited and obstacles are plentiful, the roguelike element kicks in—if you build yourself into a dead end, you go to sleep and end the run. All rooms reset, but you may have learned something for the next attempt. Rinse and repeat.

Reception

The game’s nifty loop earned it a spot on Engadget’s list of favorite games from 2025, where it was called a masterpiece—a well‑deserved accolade. It’s a fantastic addition to the Nintendo eShop.

Pricing and Availability

The Switch 2 exclusive is priced at $30, discounted to $20 for launch.
