The Nintendo Switch unexpectedly became a favorite platform for indie games, leading to the popular Indie World showcase. And this year’s showcase revealed the best-selling games for Nintendo Switch in 2021.

Here is a breakdown of the games in the order they appear in the video:

  • Cyber ​​shadow
  • Unpacking
  • Tetris Effect: Connected
  • Fight with the stick: the game
  • The curse of the dead gods
  • Ender Gigli
  • Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!
  • Spelucchi 2
  • Street 96
  • Subnautica / Subnautica: Below zero
  • Littlewood
  • Edition for console of the islanders
  • Slime Rancher: Plottable Edition
  • Towards East
  • Axiom Verge 2

The list is a nice mix of familiar and new franchises. For example, it’s not that surprising to see Tetris Effect here, and titles like Spelunky 2 and Subnautica have a small legion of fans.


However, other titles reveal the sheer depth of Nintendo’s bench. Slime Rancher: Plortable Edition carries on the tradition of cute adventure titles we usually associate with Nintendo platforms, while others like Stick Fight: The Game have managed to surprise everyone (especially as this title has virtually zero buzz but is clearly popular with Switch owners).

Which of these indies is your favorite? Be sure to let us know in the comments!
