I don't care for these games, but hopefully that means that it's really easy to port indie games, and we end up with cool couch games like Duck Game or Starwhal on it.

That physical lineup's still really anemic, but the eShop looks like it's going to have a really strong launch.
I honestly think that there's a real opportunity for exposure if some of these digital-only games were to get a physical release, too; fill out the shelves a bit on launch day. The Binding of Isaac's got the right idea, and there's no reason why something like Snipperclips shouldn't grace a shop shelf at a lower price.

It being a burn things up simulator is the biggest part of its beauty
Wasn't it a Wii game originally?
IIRC there were weird pricing and file size rules on the Wii Shop Channel. So that may be why we didn't see many (any?) sales or price drops on that platform.
Probably because they heavily rely on motion controls

It had puzzle solving.

I'm definitely getting Human Resource Machine. I didn't find out about it until late last year.
Starwhal was originally announced for Wii U so that probably isn't unlikely.

I've never played World of Goo, but it looks like a game I would get.

Nice to see this thread get love, Tomorrow Corporation is one of the best indie developers out there.

Indies are quickly filling out the Switch lineup. The eShop is looking pretty good.
Very cool, the more games the better.
I'm curious as to the lifespan of games like these have when transferring from system to system. Like, I wonder how much they'd sell if they were ported over and over until Nintendo's next next system.
Like, how many people would buy the same game 5+ times?

Yep, it looks like it'll be the perfect compliment to a nice PC.

Never played World of Goo so I'll be picking that up.
Little Inferno was a great Wii U launch title and it should be a pretty good fit on Switch.
Not sure about Human Resource machine, but if the price is right I'll pick it up

Out of fucking nowhere! I really loved World of Goo and Little Inferno...I might have to double dip on these.

Smart move.
World of Goo is freaking awesome by the way.

They should bundle it as the Tomorrow Cooperation Bundle
Yeah if they're all going for like 10 bucks a $25 bundle would be pretty ace.
World of goo will be interesting to look at. Its 4 player mode with wiimotes/pointers was a blast. I wonder if they can reproduce that with joy-cons.
But you could just buy all of those games for under 10 on PC, couldn't you? There's some great potential for PC + Switch Humble Bundles here but other than that I think it will be difficult to sell those games again to PC owners. At least for games that have gotten as cheap as those three.

Awesome! I'm definitely hoping there will be some kind of "Buy all 3, get a discount!" promotion. Hopefully the Switch's eShop (or whatever they'll call it) will support deals like that.
It's fun. It's a puzzle game heavily based on coding, so it's all about sequences of operations and logic. It's wrapped up in that distinctive Tomorrow Corporation aesthetic and vibe. Your enjoyment of it will really depend on how you feel about the kinds of thinking and problem solving that coding requires.
I wonder if anything else will pop up.

Keep 'em coming, boys!
If the Switch gets the cream of the mobile games and the hottest other indies it will be just fine. Make it THE indie platform.

It's good! Makes you feel smart when you solve a puzzle and does a decent job of explaining some basic programming concepts.
Plus the standard awesome presentation from 2D Boy/Tomorrow Corp.

It's for people like me who adore TIS-100 and Shenzhen I/O but suck spectacularly at them.
Japan Third party support will be par with 3DS though. Not console game makers.

Turns out, people like fun video games. Crazy.
I'll pay full price to play them portability. If I'm going to sit at my PC, it's going to be for Titanfall 2, R6S, Total Warhammer, etc.

Ooh, I'll happily double dip on all three. Great games.
Human Resource Machines is probably the greatest game about assembly programming. I got it on the Wii U, and it made excellent use of the Wii U Gamepad. I guess all these titles will use the Switch touchscreen in portable mode.
From the list of available indies at launch, it seems that NoE has done a much better initial job towards the indie companies than NoA or NCL.
These are all games I've never played before, so I don't care if they are port or not.
And some of us become bored of something we've played years ago and like new but equally fun games...crazy eh?
