Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
Yoooo, this. Perfect fit thematically, given Nintendos goal of sharing the joy (con)
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
Oh my god. I'm honestly surprised this wasn't a launch title or something considering how genius it would be for local multiplayer.
Axiom Verge would surely be a logical choice. Get some Samus DLC in there.
Begging for Night in the Woods
2) Super Meat Boy
Considered a classic at this point, playing Super Meat Boy on the go is something I'm sure fans would love to do.

Ya'll need to get a Vita. I know the system is starting to get old but it is THE portable indie machine.
And everyone should play Spelunky but I can't imagine playing it without a proper d-pad.

Grow home - not indie technically.
Hyper Light Drifter would be cool.
Dead Cells would be amazing on the switch. Its on sale on Steam ATM so get it people.
Edit: Salt and Sanctuary as well.
I really wish Nintendo opened it up more and really leveraged the indie community. Spelunky, Enter the Gungeon (I know it's coming), Dead Cells, Hotline Miami, BoxBoy, Helldivers, Swapper, CounterSpy, etc, etc, etc. There's so many games they could bring to the platform and make it an indie machine like the Vita was.
STARDEW HECKIN' VALLEY.
What the heck happened to this game? Thought it was coming this summer, now the summer date is gone... 😔

The problem is we haven't really heard anything since then, and a lot of those games while coming have yet to actually be shown on the Switch.

When it's finished, obviously. Calm down.NO to Dead Cells. I absolutely do NOT WANT "Early Access" titles on Nintendo platforms period.
I don't care if it's the best thing since sliced bread, if it's not a full, completed game-no buy, no interest.
Salt and Sanctuary-yes, excellent choice!
I mean they did during the indie showcase right before launch. Even beyond the games they focused on they had a big slide with a ton of indie games that are coming to the Switch.

Feels like Damon Baker should try and get Nintendo to let him do another indie showcase to highlight games coming in the 2nd half of this year.
Yeah, I'm surprised there wasn't one during E3. There should be one every quarter (first was March, June, September...) as a large chunk of the games presented in March have been released, and it'd be nice to keep games like Runner3 and Escapists 2 in people's minds.
To be honest, rather than the retro arcadey indies that a lot of people want to see on the Switch, I'd like to see a lot of narrative and ambient/experimental indies.
Virginia, Gone Home, Abzu, Firewatch, Journey, Everyone's Gone to the Rapture (though I'm assuming the Switch couldn't handle the latter) would be amazing on Switch, as they're mostly very chill games and would benefit from the Switch's portability- you could curl up in bed with an atmospheric narrative game as you would with a book.
Journey. I'd love to be able to play that handheld.

ThisIdk if it's considered an Indie or not, but I'd give my left foot for Ori & the Blind Forest on Switch.
I wondered that, but in retrospect probably the right move. Too much noise during that week.
Probably would be better to run a direct in mid July or something where the indies would get the spotlight vs being drowned out by the E3 noise.
Give me all classic JRPG-style games on here.
Cosmic Star Heroine
without d-pad ... nah
Kalimba. I never played this in local multiplayer (four totems, two players!) but the Switch is perfect for this
People complain about the d-pad and I do wish there was one, but I've played through Shovel Knight using their d-pad and it's not as bad as people make it out to be. Again, wish it was better, but it works.
