At Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase today, it was revealed that one of 2021’s best indie games, Chicory: A Colorful Tale, is coming to the Nintendo Switch. Released on June 10th for PC, PS4, and PS5, the game has enjoyed a good amount of critical reception; Polygon has recently called it the second-best game to come out this year, and it was nominated for the Games for Impact category at The Game Awards.
The game features painting-themed puzzles not unlike The Legend of Zelda, an entirely blank world for the player to color in any way they’d like, a soundtrack from Celeste and Minecraft composer Lena Raine, and a cute yet real story about impostor syndrome and as Team Finji puts it, “trying to be somebody.”
This port provides a wide variety of control options for users. While it features standard controller support, it also features motion controls and brand-new touchscreen support in order to control your character’s paintbrush, central to the puzzles and world of Chicory. These new options are great ways to convert the use of a mouse to this console port. The game’s light co-op is also well-supported here, as the game supports tabletop mode for two-player action on the go. Chicory is available on the Nintendo eShop today for $19.99.

More details about the game can be found on the game’s eShop page or website.

Awesome! I thought the Direct was pretty meh overall so I'm glad there was at least one major stealth drop.
I was surprised it wasn't touched upon more, honestly. With all the features it has I'd think Nintendo would want to show it off more.
True that is surprising, given that it seems like a perfect match with the Switch's touchscreen.
My favourite reveal from the presentation. I wasn’t sure if it would come to the Switch and I definitely wasn’t expecting it so soon.
