Vertical pinball adventure Pinball Spire out on Nintendo Switch this month

indie.io and Tom Voros of Apparition Games are planning a Nintendo Switch version of Pinball Spire that’s coming very soon. Along with the console announcement, we have a release date of May 29, 2025.

Pinball Spire is a vertical pinball adventure. It mixes precision pinball mechanics, platforming puzzles, and retro flair.

Additional information is included in the following rundown:

Pinball Spire invites players to guide the unflappable Pip through a mysterious tower filled with environmental puzzles, mana-powered flipper mechanics, and an ever-rising challenge.

This is no ordinary pinball table. Each chamber in the Spire is a self-contained puzzle, demanding not just careful aim but creative problem-solving. Whether players are using Focus to slow time for perfect shots, igniting Pip with the Fireball to light hidden paths, or scanning the environment with the Scouter ability, every floor introduces a new twist on vertical progression.

Underpinning the gameplay is a lush pixel art aesthetic and an original, retro-acoustic soundtrack by Starling Tan – creating a tone that’s equal parts adventurous, mysterious, and nostalgic. The game’s seamless fusion of pinball physics, platforming action, and handcrafted level design drew strong praise at PAX East, Gamescom, Tokyo Game Show, and more.

We’ve got a trailer announcing the new Nintendo Switch version below.
