God, I hope this means we'll finally see a Hollow Knight date. Wargroove was second on my list, but it was already quietly bumped to 2018.

Among other known quantities, I'm definitely keeping an eye on SteamWorld Dig 2, Thimbleweed Park, and Golf Story, and I'd be happy to double-dip in Stardew Valley even if I'm not even close to exhausted with my PC file yet. And I know we're sitting on a titanic backlog of undated ports that were announced already, but I have my fingers crossed for new surprises. In the first Nindies show, Graceful Explosion Machine came out of nowhere as a rumble-enabled timed exclusive, arrived on the shop in short order, and instantly secured its place as one of this year's great and unforeseen delights. My Switch budget is beyond stretched, but I'd love to see something like that happen again.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Eff all of your INFERIOR games! It's all about Yooka-Laylee Switch baby! ;P

Seriously, I hope we get real footage, a date, AND a confirmation of a retail release. Don't disappoint me Playtonic and Team17!

Also super excited to see what new surprises we'll see. Can you imagine if we had DOZENS of games announced like last time, even on a giant image of logos like at the end? It was fun picking out all of those LOL! XD

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Summer showcase? Isn't summer almost over now? Only roughly a month left. That means it should be a packed month for the e-shop then!

 

[The Giant]

Did anyone tell Nintendo how seasons work

Yeah, It will be the 1st day of spring for us aussies.

 

[axisofweevils]

Really hope there's an Undertale port.

 

[starry sonata]

Yusssss! Just gimme a yooka laylee and a stardew valley release dates and I'm all set!

 

[bizzarewars]

Please...
*exasperated breathing
Release...

Pocket Rumble...

 

[Morts]

Yusssss! Just gimme a yooka laylee and a stardew valley release dates and I'm all set!

I completely forgot Yooka Laylee was a thing. Damn that game came and went quickly.

 

[uncleslappy]

Just in time for summer.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Come on Stardew!

Now that I have a laptop my hand gets closer and closer to purchasing the PC version for mods!

 

[FlaygletheBagel]

[RecRoulette]

Hope we get a release date for Wargroove.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I hope we see more of that Dead Spaceish indie game. I believe it's called Hollow.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Golf story. Lets do it!

Bet we see thimbleweed park too!

 

[RampagingSoul]

The last Nindies Direct was really awesome and help bring hype to my Switch purchase, so I hope this is in a similar format.

Excited for this!

 

[DeuceGamer]

I knew there was a lot of indies that need dates but seeing people list what they are hoping releases soon and I still forgot about a lot of them. Really is going to be a packed fall on Switch if we get dates on the indies that were set to launch this year from the original Nindie showcase.

Edit: Yooka Laylee really needs to launch in Sep to avoid launching near/after Mario.

 

[KtSlime]

Too bad this means it will be a while until the next direct.

 

[Plum]

*Frictional Games logo appears*

*Everyone thinks it's just an Amnesia port or something*

*First person, someone's walking through a spooky mansion*

*Suddenly, things start going wrong with the stream*

*Glitches, artefacting, skipping*

*Stream goes black*

Spoiler

*Eternal Darkness Coming 2019 appears*

*GAF goes down for multiple days*

It's not happening but god damn would it be hype if it did.

 

[MrKeinov]

Crossing fingers for that "You can download SteamWorld dig 2 right after the presentation" moment. Swap steamworld with any higher profile indie game you can think of. My switch is hungry for some quality titles.

Yes Yooka Laylee launching after Mario would be terrible for it.

Want that Stardew Valley on my switch now please.

I'm hoping that isn't the case. I've yet to finish the OT as I'm waiting for that release date and some platform confirmations before I start filling things in. If they pulled a Sega Saturn on me I'd be the laughing stock of NeoGAF.

Spoiler

Knowing my luck it'll actually happen, a mod will see this post and I will be tagged "The laughing stock of NeoGAF."

 

[DeuceGamer]

Yea it's already a late port and to launch after Mario would hurt its sales potential. With mostly Wii U ports in Sep I think it could do well in September. Hopefully it's ready.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I'm REALLY hoping we get a lot of indie title for late August and September because September doesn't have any brand new retail Switch games. If Nintendo can get a good indie title week after week in September would be great

 

[ASaiyan]

Hope this means some of the long-awaited indies are coming soon. Hollow Knight release date plz

 

[Hexagon!]

Spelunky, please. Will happily buy it again.

This is what I need.

 

[oatmeal]

I want:

- Yooka Laylee (Maybe)
- Rime
- Hollow Knight
- Steamworld Dig 2
- Wargroove
- Stardew Valley

Give me something soon!

Rime was November 20th I thought.

 

[Giga Man]

I hope we get a Rocket League release date.

A Pocket Rumble resurrection would be nice, too.

 

[BobbyColtrane]

I want Stardew Valley and Terraria

Spoiler

for the 10th time

Other than that, 2K and FIFA should be all I need.

 

[Fantastical]

Stardew and Golf Story... gimme!

 

[AEREC]

Hopefully there's more info on Hollow Knight.

 

[vareon]

I'm gonna disappoint myself and expect a surprise VA-11 HALL-A port.

No way .... FF7 remake is not indie !

 

[CharminUltra]

Mother 3

What do you mean it's not an indie? Shut up.

 

[Deadpool_X]

Wargroove and...was it Pocket Fighters or whatever? I need info.

 

[Handyandy58]

Hoping for the Hollow Knight news and maybe a surprise or two.

 

[Thores]

Wargroove and...was it Pocket Fighters or whatever? I need info.

Wargroove delayed to 2018, Pocket Rumble "may have good news to announce soon"

 

[Realeza]

Last presentation was awesome, so I hope this one is of similar quality.

 

[nickgia]

Ahhh, all these great summer titles that will be released on Thursday, September 21st.

 

[Celcius]

For some reason I read the title as "Nvidia Summer Showcase"

 

[qko]

This excites me more than a typical direct since they dropped so many exclusives and timed exclusives the last time

 

[Cow Mengde]

Stardew, Rocket League!

Bring it!

Rocket League's an indie title!?!

 

[Jon Carter]

Northern Summer ends on August 31.

Astronomical Summer ends in September.

Humans usually go by the meteorological seasons.


https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/news/meteorological-versus-astronomical-summer—what’s-difference

Who is "humans"? I grew up in France and everybody uses the astronomical dates. Yes, even on the weather reports.

 

[The Technomancer]

Rocket League's an indie title!?!

I mean yeah?

 

[Takat]

I hope we get to see Flippin' Death's release date. I hope it's soon.

I'm excited for this.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Nobody hyped for BitRunner 3?

 

[lt519]

Hollow Knight, cmonnnnnnnnnn.

 

[plufim]

Time for new Indie Amiibo announcements

I joke. But Amiibo functions in indie games would be neat.

 

[jariw]

I mean yeah?

Others have made the same mistake. Just because an indie like Rocket League becomes a smash hit, it's not an indie anymore. Or something...

"Along with heavy hitters like Super Mario Odyssey, Rocket League, and NBA 2K18, a number of indie games will be playable."

[Blues1990]

Unless if I also get a pass for Saturday, I'll miss out on the cool shit that they'll showcase on that day. Otherwise, I can't wait to play what the upcoming indie titles the Nintendo Switch will have to offer.
