Two unbelievable indie video games not named Blue Prince additionally simply arrived on Switch

Sure, Blue Prince has probably the most identify recognition among the many indie video games that had a shock debut on Nintendo Switch 2 right now. However, I implore you to not overlook two different fantastic indies that hit Nintendo’s consoles within the wake of this morning’s Indie World showcase.

Minishoot’ Adventures — from SoulGame Studio and co-publisher IndieArk — is a sport I completely liked when it first emerged on Steam in 2024. It’s an RPG that adopts the format of top-down Legend of Zelda video games. At the identical time, it’s a twin-stick bullet-hell shooter. The two-person group at SoulGame blended these genres to nice impact.

Here, you play as a ship. Exploration is vital, as you’ll want to seek out upgrades in your ship with the intention to entry new areas. SoulGame injected a ton of character into Minishoot’ Adventures as effectively. Errant apostrophe within the identify apart, it’s an actual gem.

Minishoot’ Adventures is out now on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S for $16. It’s additionally obtainable on Game Pass Ultimate and Premium, in addition to PC Game Pass.

I’m perplexed as to why Nintendo solely showcased Öoo within the Japanese model of the Indie World stream. It’s completely sensible and by far one of the best new sport I performed in 2025. It’s so exquisitely designed by Nama Takahashi (ElecHead) {that a} 20-second trailer is all that’s wanted to point out how this puzzle platformer works.

You play as a caterpillar who has a bomb — and later a second one — that can be utilized to blow stuff up. The bombs are additionally used to carry down buttons and to propel the caterpillar upwards or sideways.

There aren’t any directions right here. Takahashi (who made the sport with the assistance of Tiny Cactus Studio and Tsuyomi) helps you determine what to do solely via clever degree design. The puzzles aren’t overly tough, however they acquired my mind matter working simply sufficient that I smiled every time I discovered an answer. The visuals, music and sound design are supremely charming too.

This is a very fantastic sport. It doesn’t outstay its welcome both, as it may be accomplished inside a few hours.

Öoo is obtainable now on Switch for $11. It’s coming to PS5 on March 11 and Xbox Series X/S later this month.
