Review: Blue Prince (Switch 2) – A Masterful Mystery, And One Of The Best Puzzlers Ever

Homes Under The Planner.

Herbert Sinclair, the baron of Reddington’s Mount Holly Estate, is dead. In his will, he leaves the estate, its grounds, and his title to you, his grandnephew, Simon. There is one condition: to prove yourself worthy of the gift, you have to find the mysterious 46th room in the 45-room manor, the location of which has never been disclosed.

This is the setup of Dogubomb’s puzzle roguelike Blue Prince, and it’s about as much story as I feel comfortable giving you. Since it launched on PC and PS5 last year, I have been telling almost everyone I know to play it under the guidance of “read nothing about it and go in completely clueless!! Please!“, which doesn’t make for the easiest review now that it’s come to Switch 2.

Gee, what will it show?

Nintendo has announced another Direct presentation for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, airing next Monday, 9th March 2026.

The Pokémon Company Issues Response To The White House’s Pokopia Meme

“no permission was granted”.

Ahead of the release of Pokémon Pokopia for Switch 2, fans have been passing the time by posting memes via a font generator from Pixel Frame, recreating the Pokopia logo with custom text.

Someone on The White House’s social media team apparently caught wind of this and created its own image using the Pokopia font generator.

Feature: “I Literally Got Goosebumps” – Nick Apostolides On Returning As Leon In Resident Evil Requiem

“I felt a lot of pressure with this one”.

Resident Evil Requiem, the latest mainline title in Capcom’s survival horror franchise, is out now on the Switch 2. It tells an intimate tale that takes us right back to where it all started: Raccoon City. Joining us on the journey, of course, is series veteran Leon Kennedy, who’s dealing with a deadly infection of his very own.

Last week, we sat down to speak with Nick Apostolides, who, after his excellent portrayals as Leon in Resident Evil 2 and 4, returns as everybody’s favourite loveable agent. We discuss his approach to playing a much older Leon, how it feels for the character to finally wield his own chainsaw, and more.

One Of The Switch’s Earliest eShop Titles Has Finally Got A Sequel

Out today.

All the way back in 2017 (which, yes, is nearly a decade ago now), a curious title called Bulb Boy made its way to the Switch eShop. Available from July of the Switch’s launch year, it was one of the earliest eShop titles for the new system at the time, and now it’s finally got itself a sequel.

Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair is available today on the Switch eShop and promises to expand upon the original point and click experience with visuals inspired by ’90s style cartoons. While the original had a consistent green tone to the overall presentation, this one looks all the more vibrant thanks to a much wider array of colours.
