Two completely unrelated games called Piece by Piece are launching on Switch on the same day, from the same publisher and in the same bundle, and it sounds like Nintendo's certification team has had a bit of a headache with it.
No More Robots founder Mike Rose shared the news on Bluesky, as reported by VGC, confirming that both games arrive on the Switch eShop on November 25, either on their own or together in the Piece by Piece Double Bundle, which is up for pre-order now.
The story goes back to March, when developer Gamkat and publisher No More Robots released their Piece by Piece on Steam on March 11, a cosy game where you inherit your family's repair shop and fix up the prized possessions of the forest folk. Two days later, developer Neon Polygons self-published its own Piece by Piece, a puzzle platformer where each level is split into jigsaw pieces that you connect and unconnect across 100 handcrafted levels. Rather than fall out over the name, the two studios laughed it off and put out a Steam bundle of both games, according to VGC.
Fitting the pieces together
When No More Robots got its version ready for Switch, Rose says he heard that Neon Polygons couldn't afford to bring its game over too. "So I signed their game and now we're launching both," he wrote, before adding that "Nintendo have ABSOLUTELY HATED THIS. We've been asked the question 'why do you have two games with the same name' many, many times by cert."
He signed off with "Not all publishers are evil, I promise," which, after a story like this, is fairly hard to argue with.
On the US eShop, the Double Bundle is listed at $20.99, with a 10% pre-order discount taking it to $18.89 until December 2. VGC says Gamkat's game will cost $11.99 (£9.99) on its own, also with a pre-order discount. Both games are listed as Nintendo Switch games that also play on Switch 2.
If you're thinking of buying one for someone else, Nintendo's eShop gifting for family groups is due to switch on from November 17, although Nintendo hasn't said whether pre-orders or bundles can be gifted.
Well, at least nobody can accidentally buy the wrong Piece by Piece now, since you can just get both.
