[jack_package_200]

Rad. I never ended up getting it on Steam

 

[Fireblend]

YES there is a god

 

[Cubas]

Nice. Will buy.

[_Clash_]

YAS

Still haven't played it

 

[sinonobu]

BUYING DAY 1

 

[Hattori]

whoa 😲

 

[pete_clarf]

Awesome. I almost bought it on Humble Bundle this week, but I figured it would eventually come to consoles, so I didn't get it. It'll cost me more, but I just never play games on PC.

 

[Hero of Legend]

YES! This really caught my eye. This was by ONE person right? He also made a great Wario Land mock-up IIRC.

And.. NYANDIES!

 

[Passose]

so they're starting to steal xbox one console exclusives

 

[BigPete]

Literally just bought it yesterday in the Humble Bundle. Oh well, i'll double dip.

Simon is probably the best pixel artist around these days, I'll gladly support these guys in any way I can.

 

[Devilgunman]

Not sure what op means it doesn't look good. It still looks totally awesome to me.

Almost bought it on humblebundle as well. Luckily I hold off for the console version.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Was Owlboy ever confirmed for XBO? Thought it was Steam-only until now.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Are you saying Rime doesn't look good in general or compared to other versions? Could you clarify?

That's stock footage of Rime we've seen before. Don't think it specifies that it's actually running on Switch there.

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

Oh wow, that's amazing to hear

 

[Blues1990]

Never played this (or heard of it) before, but I'll keep it on my radar.

 

[Equanimity]

That's great news. And Rime looks good as well.

 

[taco543]

day one easily.

 

[Hero of Legend]

That's stock footage of Rime we've seen before. Don't think it specifies that it's actually running on Switch there.

You sure? It does look like it's missing some lighting/shading or something.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Awesome! Owlboy is coming!

Wait what's wrong with RiME?

 

[nckillthegrimace]

I don't think that's the only announcement from that video. Like I know YIIK hasn't been announced for Switch before this, but I'm not sure about some of the other stuff.

 

[James Scott]

You sure? It does look like it's missing some lighting/shading or something.

There's also the big "X" which I guess could be Xbox or PC footage, but idk.
Also the video quality is really terrible which makes it look worse

 

[UnemployedVillain]

That's stock footage of Rime we've seen before. Don't think it specifies that it's actually running on Switch there.

LOL, this is another "Xbox 360 games look worse when you say they're running on the Wii U" case, isn't it?

Also, it's weird how Switch games seem to be announced at random. I wonder how many games are actually in development that will be announced when Nintendo (presumably) feels like it or lets devs

 

[Father_Brain]

Also a few other games here that I don't *think* were previously announced for Switch (Nine Parchments, Cat Quest, YIIK).

 

[Crash331]

Where is the Rime footage and why does it not look good?

 

[brinstar]

whoa is YIIK comin?! yesss

 

[Fireblend]

Also I'm pretty sure that's how RIME has always looked?

 

[Colonel Mustard]

You sure? It does look like it's missing some lighting/shading or something.

I may very well be wrong. I just recalled seeing those exact scenes in a trailer before. If it is running on Switch, color me surprised. It looks better than I thought it would.

I don't think that's the only announcement from that video. Like I know YIIK hasn't been announced for Switch before this, but I'm not sure about some of the other stuff.

YIIK was basically confirmed on the team's Facebook/Twitter when they asked people interested in the Wii U version if they would prefer they make the 'Switch'.

 

[xxracerxx]

More excited for Overcooked and GoNNER from that video.

 

[JBourne]

Cool, definitely holding out on this until I have a Switch. I prefer playing 2D platformers on a handheld.

 

[essenn]

Was expected to see this in the last Nindies Direct

Anyway, I'm in day 1

I need a date on Overcooked, and why didn't they show Pocket Rumble?

 

[James Scott]

Where is the Rime footage and why does it not look good?

It's about a minute in.
It might just be that the video is poorly compressed

 

[Hero of Legend]

Also a few other games here that I don't *think* were previously announced for Switch (Nine Parchments, Cat Quest, YIIK).

Yep, beat me to it, but Cat Quest was just announced a few days ago as part of Digipen Game Studios.

Also games like She Remembered Caterpillars (cute name).

Also Nine Parchments is from Frozenbyte. Why did Has Been Heroes get a retail release and not this which looks WAY better? Seriously, HBH looked BLEH for the team behind Trine and Nine Parchments. Apparently it didn't review well either didn't it?

 

[thefro]

New stuff besides Owlboy:
- Cat Quest
- Backslash
- L.F.O. Lost Future Omega
- She Remembered Caterpillars
- YIIK
- Nine Parchments

I think the puzzle game after after Mighty Gunvolt Burst is new as well

 

[Berordn]

Not gonna lie, I like the word Nyandies a lot more than I like Nindies.

 

[Deleted member 465307]

There were a lot of games in there I did not recognize or realize were coming to Switch. Perhaps a new Nindies presentation will get assembled for a pre-E3 set of announcements. A few of those looked quite good and had me intrigued. I really like the indie lineup Switch is building.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Hopefully it gets a physical release.

 

[thefro]

delete; double post

 

[phanphare]

owlboy on that Switch screen

a match made in heaven

 

[guyssorry]

Excellent. Will be buying asap.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Another solid Switch title! I'm probably going to just get it on Humble if they add more games that interest me.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

This makes me very happy.

 

[dhonk]

Switch is getting some absolutely fantastic releases for portable gaming. I'm pretty dang happy with it right now

 

[BitStyle]

Sweet! Will grab day one

 

[talkingood]

Rime looks sub-native rez, frame rate isn't bad however. I could be wrong, but it doesn't look like the footage we've seen of it before. Shame if that is it, but it'll likely still be a great game for portable regardless.

Owlboy is a no brainer of course.

 

[jack_package_200]

- Backslash
- L.F.O. Lost Future Omega

Fuck yeah YIIK is coming to Switch

I think we're in a post launch scramble of, 'oh shit...this thing is a success.'

Indies are probably more able to react quicker than a larger publisher as their sales goals are probably much lower. (This isn't a knock against the Switch either, I think stuff like a Dark Souls Trilogy could sell gangbusters.) just that there's much less risk involved with indie developers.
