9 New Indie Games on Switch 2 and Switch, November 2026

Faraway is a small, quiet arcade game. You steer a shooting star across space and draw lines between stars to form constellations, and each one tops up the energy that keeps you alive. When the energy runs out, the run ends and a new universe is generated for the next one.

It's easy to start and hard to master. Riskier shapes earn more points, and 16 puzzle stages teach tricks you can then use in the endless mode. Annapurna Interactive published it, and it came out on November 5 with separate versions for Switch 2 and Switch.

The Slormancer is a 2D pixel-art action RPG where you cut through huge crowds of monsters for loot. You play a knight, a huntress or a mage, and you can swap between all three, and between any skills and weapons you have unlocked, whenever you like.

There are more than 200 abilities with their own upgrade trees, elemental powers to inherit, and 120 special weapons that level up and evolve. The tone is jokey, with a villain who keeps trying to take over the world and a helper who is bad at the job. It came out on November 5, and Nintendo says the Switch version runs the same on Switch 2.

Eternal Palace Sakura is a 3D action roguelite. You play Retla, a cat-eared fighter with two blades who gets trapped in an endless tower whose floors change every time she enters, full of yokai, traps and treasure.

Combat is about chaining combos and dodging at the right moment. The deeper you go, the higher a depth meter climbs, adding debuffs and tougher enemies, so every floor is a choice between pushing on and playing safe. Upgrades carry over between runs. It came out on PC on November 4 and on Switch on November 5.

In TANUKI: Pon's Summer you spend a month on a sunny island as Pon, a tanuki with a part-time job at the post office. You ride a BMX around town delivering letters and oddly shaped parcels, and slowly learn the routes and the people who live along them.

Your pay goes into rebuilding the local shrine before the big tanuki festival at the end of summer. Neighbours invite you to make sushi, play baseball or try sumo, and the bike can take on ramps and rails across more than 100 trick challenges. It's out November 10 on Switch 2 and Switch.

RACCOIN turns an arcade coin pusher into a roguelike deckbuilder. You drop special coins into the machine and pair them with items for combos: seed and water coins grow a money tree, a cat coin hunts down rat coins, and a TNT coin blasts everything forward at once.

Each character brings a different set of coins, and items let you stack multipliers or shake the machine when you run dry. The Switch 2 version, called Chaos Max Edition, comes with two new characters, and the Steam version gets them for free on the same day. One of them is a mech raccoon that pilots a robot inside the machine. It's out November 10.

Ova Magica mixes a farm life sim with a creature-collecting RPG. You move to an overgrown farm in Clover Town and raise blobs, round creatures that water your crops, produce milk and follow you around town.

Away from the farm you train blobs for a tournament called the Clover Cup, breed new ones and join expeditions into wild areas for treasure. Townspeople have their own stories, and romance is an option. It came to PC in May, and on November 10 it reaches Switch, PS5 and Xbox, with a version built for Switch 2 instead of only running the Switch one.

Moomin: Midsummer Madness is a point-and-click adventure based on Tove Jansson's book Moominsummer Madness. A flood sets the Moomins adrift, and you play Moomintroll and Little My as they explore a strange old theatre that floats along with them.

The puzzles are light and each chapter has small mini-games, with a hint system for when you get stuck, so younger players can manage it. The backgrounds are hand-painted in the spirit of the original illustrations. It comes out on Switch 2, Switch and PC on November 12, and the developers have announced a physical edition for Switch.

Spirit Crossing is an online cozy game from Spry Fox, the makers of Cozy Grove. You live in a world above the clouds, help spirits hurt by magical storms, decorate a home on a mountain peak and dress your character from hundreds of clothing pieces.

Other players appear as shadows until you share a high five or an activity, and then you see who they are. When a storm rolls in, everyone shelters around campfires to play music or chat, and you can opt out of meeting people for as long as you like. It launches November 16 on Switch 2, Switch and PC, with an upfront price.

Marupoyo is a chick so round he can only roll, and you never control him directly. Instead you tilt the whole level to make him speed up, slow down and jump, using gravity and momentum to reach his lost brothers and sisters.

There are 120 levels across four worlds. Family Mode keeps things relaxed for younger players, while Gamer Mode speeds everything up and adds hazards. Finding every lost chick means exploring away from the obvious path. It comes out on Switch on November 26, and Nintendo lists the Switch version as playable on Switch 2.
