Really excited to see more indy support and more launch games on the switch. But three of the best games in the past 10 years?

Cool, got Little Inferno on Wii U when it was on sale, I think. Pretty entertaining little title. Have played a little of Human Resource Machine and it's alright.
I'm mainly glad they are bringing World of Goo, because I never got it since it was a WiiWare title and I didn't buy much on Wii's Shopping Channel. Excited for that whenever I get the Switch.

Nintendo should have done like everybody else: call it "goty edition".
I guess the porting from Wii U might be pretty straightforward, since 2 of these were already available on the Wii U.
I'm more impressed that the new version of FRN is a release title. Shinen seemed to optimize FRN pretty heavily towards the Wii U graphics hardware, and now apparently the new FRN is a March 03 game in 1080p/60fps. Shinen had the dev kit in October 2016 at least.
Seems to be the case based on what I have heard and some people I have talked to.

I think its fantastic that indies are giving the Switch some love already. Played Word of Goo bot didn't play the other too...may have to buy them when it comes out on March 3.
Whoever says...who cares they are just ports are missing big picture IMO as ports like these is what Nintendo needs to help make the switch a success in today's world of iPhones & android phones.
Now, I super cannot wait for March 3.

World of Goo! I have that on the Wii and I will be happy to get it on the Switch.

Missed Human Resources Machine. Love the other two, though. Do you think there will be a bundle?

World of Goo was incredible on the Wii but I don't know if I want to buy it again. I'd definitely recommend it to any Switch owners who haven't played it

Never played hrm but the other two are great
I dunno, people freak out over Humble Bundles still, That's kinda how I view this announcement of 2 superb (and one Kinda meh) games
That's quite likely (IIRC publishers are free to set any price they want on eShop) up to 2D Boy though.
Not to mention Nintendo does humble bundles too!

I like how Nintendo is doing it. They're having each day have "their day" to announce their titles and they get all the focus for that day.
Even if these are small games or old games this dev got a full day for themselves to announce their games.

I've missed out on all three, when I eventually get a Switch I'll finally play 'em.
I wonder if they held back on talking about all the launch titles for the sake of being in the news. Like if they always have something Nintendo Switch related news every week or every other week, then it's good on them before March 3rd right?
It's like you trick the crowd into having low expectations by showing less, and fix that assumption by releasing more and more information throughout the weeks.

Well, seeing as how I can't get my Wii to wofk properly with my new Samsung (it has no component inputs, but instead comes with a component-HDMI adapter that I can't get to work even after an hour on the phone with Samsung tech support), hell yeah I'm excited.
Now give me Super Mario Galaxy 1&2 in 1080p.
Two thoughts:
Human Resource Machine doesn't strike me as a natural fit for console; they might need to work a bit on the interface to make it really shine (in particular, I remember using copy and paste to text files on PC for easy editing, which isn't really a console option).
Assuming we're talking digital copies, what does 'bundled with their soundtracks' mean? Having a soundtrack on the Switch itself doesn't strike me as all that useful (although does this imply a Switch music player of some description?) so maybe we're looking at a code to input into Bandcamp or similar?

Isn't that what they were asking about to begin with?
The game's already out on iPad and feels like it was made for touch. Don't know how it'll control with physical controls but the Switch's touchscreen will do just fine.
It also released on Wii U last month(?).
Would it be too easy for someone that knows programming pretty well? Sounds up my alley, but I've got some extensive programming experience.
Still not that great to be honest. Usually I need to convince myself to only buy a game or two at launch, this time I dont have that feeling sadly.
Other than the itch to use the hardware, the software lineup has left a lot to be desired. Regardless, Nintendo hit a homerun with the switch. The hype is palpable among the mainstream. To this day people still dont know what a Wii U is, most people already know what a Switch is.

Add a year to that and you are right.
Possibly, but then you can work on optimising routines to the fewest steps.
I assume you've already played TIS-100 on PC/iPad? If not then you should definitely take a look

One of the Indies that like to stick with Nintendo and have a dedicated audience
Playable on WiiU through the Wii channel.
These are all great games.
Doubt I'll be picking them up myself as I have them all on WiiU, and I'm still playing Human Resource Machine. I might crack for HD World of Goo on my TV, though.
If you haven't played these yet then I recommend them all, albeit in rather different ways.

We're never going to get a World of Goo sequel are we 
I haven't but its something that has been on my radar for a long time. The big lure to me was competing against others/friends in rankings, but I found out about it well after the scene died off. It seems like a lot of fun, but I do that shit all day (not instruction level programming, but programming nonetheless), so I'm not sure it's what I want to relax with when I get home. I was unaware it made it to the iOS. I'll have to see if it works on my wife's 1st gen Mini, it could be a good travel game to kill some time on flights.
That game aside, if HMR has Tomorrow Corporation and 2D Boy's charm I'm definitely down. I always like supporting them too after the debacle their Wii/PC release of World of Goo was with their piracy problem.

Don't forget Disgaea 5 Complete!
JP support is definitely promising. Can't wait to see what else is in store from Japan.
I am curious as to why we never saw World of Goo on Wii U (Wii Goo?). Seemed like an obvious idea, where they could've used the GamePad as well as Wiimote controls.
