This year&#8217;s stellar Switch 2 port means it might just make the list all over again in 2026, and iam8bit is launching a new collection to celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>The star of the show is the Switch 2 physical, naturally, which comes complete on-cartridge (nice) and bundled with a two-sided fold-out poster, a notebook booklet, and a download code for the soundtrack. There&#8217;s even an Exclusive Edition, which wraps all that up in an exclusive sleeve.<\/p>\n<p>Both of the above physicals are now available to pre-order on the <a href=\"https:\/\/blueprince.iam8bit.com\/us\/\">iam8bit site<\/a> for <strong>$49.99<\/strong>, and are expected to ship this October. The pre-orders will remain open until <strong>20th July<\/strong>, so you have a little over a month to nab one, if you want something for the shelf.<\/p>\n<p>But wait, there&#8217;s more. The collection is also stocked with replica keys from the game, notebooks, pin badges and a lunchbox (which those who have made it to the in-game gift shop will no doubt be familiar with). There&#8217;s also physical hardbacks of Swim Bird, The Red Prince and A New Clue \u2014 three of the books you can rent from the in-game library.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as those who have made it past Room 46 and started to dig into Blue Prince&#8217;s deeper puzzles will know, these books contain some rather interesting info that would certainly be useful to have on hand during a playthrough. Even if you&#8217;re not using it for in-game puzzling, they&#8217;d look pretty on the shelf.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\" data-uuid=\"c191fca11c67b\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Blue Prince Physical\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/c191fca11c67b\/blue-prince-physical.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/c191fca11c67b\/blue-prince-physical.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Blue Prince Physical\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Image: Raw Fury \/ iam8bit<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<aside class=\"gallery\"><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Images: Raw Fury \/ iam8bit<\/em><\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<p>There are even bundles which include <em>all<\/em> of iam8bit&#8217;s merch for <strong>$174.99<\/strong> with the game, or <strong>$129.99<\/strong> without the game.
