No Nidhogg? What a waste of time!

This is pretty much what I took from the presentation. Will buy every game announced.

 

[bobbychalkers]

As primarily a PC gamer,
the Switch really does look like an awesome indie system.

The portability and form factor is quite nice.
May double dip on games I already own on Steam.

Still, have never not owned a Nintendo console.

PC + Nintendo has always been a strong combo.

Pocket Rumble

GGPO NETCODE!

FUCK YES!

This just keeps getting better!

 

[PusherT]

Flipping death, Stardew Valley, Hawaii shakedown, steamworld dig, and pocket fighter yes please

 

[BooJoh]

Unless they cut content from the PC version, it should have modes for Arcade, vs CPU, Career, Training, and Lessons.

Oh, cool. Didn't know this was a pre-existing game. Just looked it up on Steam, and if it has the Arcade Mode (especially with all those cameos intact) I'm totally in for Switch version at $10.

 

[KingSnake]

I guess I reached an overdose of indie games somehow after the Wii U-PC combo because except Yooka-Laylee nothing really hypes me from what I saw in this video. Who knows, maybe closer to the release of some.

 

[vareon]

PC + Nintendo has always been a strong combo.

Now that the Switch is both portable and console it's even better.

 

[C.Mongler]

Holy shit, that was honestly a great showing. I was going to begrudgingly get a Switch after initially hating their reveal presentation, and then deciding I'd get one anyway because, well, Zelda; that and I loved Snipperclips when I got to try it out a few weeks ago. But now? No regrets man. So many great games and sequels to great games, and not only that, but the Switch is PERFECT for the multiplayer component for a lot of these. And most of them were 2017 too. Man, can't wait now.

 

[psyfi]

PC + Nintendo has always been a strong combo.

Agreed. I see my PS4 collecting a lot more dust after the Switch comes out.

 

[_PsiFire_]

Sooooo many indie games I want to get for the Switch..

Shibata unboxing video repeating after UK Nindies presentation.


Edit: Oops, that was just the autoplay happening. They didn't even bother to re-stream it live in the UK it seems.

 

[Shaanyboi]

...that was a great fucking line-up

 

[Bsigg12]

Pretty good list to start with. Will definitely pick up a few of them.

 

[MutFox]

PC + Nintendo has always been a strong combo.

For me, it's my preferred combo.

 

[MrFortyFive]

Wow. Looking at that last picture with all the titles, there is a ridiculous amount of quality content here. I know some of it has been confirmed already, but I hope a lot of this makes it to retail at some point or another. I would love to have physical copies of... well... most of them.

[T.O.P]

Catching up, Overcooked, fuck yes

 

[DanteRavenkin]

I"m glad I got a 200gb card for my Switch yesterday. Because there's at least a dozen games on that list that I KNOW I'm going to get. And possibly many more. I was grinning like an idiot during the Yooka-Laylee segment

 

[balladofwindfishes]

PC + Nintendo has always been a strong combo.

I've been rocking that combo since the N64 days

 

[StAidan]

This presentation was ridiculously good. I was expecting some interesting stuff, but dang, I probably want more than half the (17?) games they showed.

Usually I restrict my digital purchases to PC only, but I might have to make an exception for Blaster Master, if nothing else. Since that one might or might never show up on PC.

 

[NSESN]

I counted 62 games (I only counted Shovel Knight one time), is that right?

 

[Vanillalite]

Dig 2 art looks weird to me. I think I prefer the more pixelated look of the first.

Also that Advance Wars like Medieval game is a god send since Nintendo has shelved the series.

 

[Aostia]

...that was a great fucking line-up

Best "direct" ever
This and the previous Fire emblem ones are really promising for Nintendo Shows going forward

And as I was expecting, Switch is shaping up as a great indie machine

 

[Ants]

what in sam hell is Away: Journey to the Unexpected?

 

[ryechu]

I will buy Celeste on the Switch.

They have some interesting games

 

[mrklaw]

That advance wars game is *so* advance wars that surely they got some support/approval from Nintendo?

That and overcooked are probably my highlights, with honourable mention to Shakedown Hawaii

 

[Spirited]

That advance wars game is *so* advance wars that surely they got some support/approval from Nintendo?

Showing it on this isn't approval enough?

 

[tkscz]

Hell they should've made the direct an hour long and showed everything on the list. The new Toejam & Earl, Enter the Gungeon, Towerfall.

 

[jariw]

Dig 2 art looks weird to me. I think I prefer the more pixelated look of the first.

The art style looks similar to Steamworld Heist. BTW, I don't remember Steamworld Dig looking pixelated on the Wii U (it was the 1080p version).

Blaster Master 0 looks amazing but nothing else there that caught my eye. Also what a muppet... "twice the 'tude"?! Did he really say that!?

Nice, thanks for that.

Here's a list of all the games from the video and the image: http://www.pocket-console.com/2017/02/upcoming-nindie-games.html

 

[metsallica]

I was in and out during the direct, but that really seemed to deliver. And a lot of them were exclusive, no? At least timed / debuts? I'd always prioritized buying / playing indies on Steam, but with the portability of Switch as long as releases are day-and-date I may be shifting. Really cool. RUNNER3 HYPE!

 

[Skeletos311]

No Bloodstained? Interesting.

They've been pretty quiet about it since the big tea table upending a few months ago. I wouldn't be surprised if it shows back up looking a lot better.

 

[User Name Here]

Some good stuff there...

Super Nintendo Switch

 

[Soph]

There was no hype at all in this thread before the showcase, I didn't have any expectations whatsoever because of it.

But this... Wow Nintendo went for homerun after homerun. These are all 2017 titles, expecting a slur of titles like this in 2018.

Finally a company which doesn't lie about their exclusivity deals as well. Glad I'll get that Switch this friday. Nintendo won me back.

 

[deadfolk]

This is what I want. Seems like the perfect game for tabletop co-op.

On another subject - folks, please temper your expectations for this stream. I have the nasty feeling this is going to be underwhelming (I hope I'm wrong), and the last thing we need is more Switch negativity when everyone goes into meltdown.

Okay, I'm very pleased to admit I was wrong in this instance. I didn't expect much, if anything, in the way of new announcements, but this direct was full of great stuff.

 

[Screamapillar]

That showcase completely delivered.

Yookah Laylee
Stardew Valley w multiplayer!!

Holy crap. One great looking game after another.

Well done, indies and Nintendo! You guys have certainly been busy to get that lineup firmed up.

 

[phanphare]

Confirmed by devs on twitter.

Edit: Beaten.

Sad I won't get to play in VR with HD Rumble...

Switch VR in 2019

please be excited

 

[Mirk]

Saw a lot I liked here. My wife is going to love that flipping death game. Good job nintendo keep at it.

 

[Kyzer]

200gb microsd purchase redeemed indeed

 

[Calm Mind]

Bloodstained is not a 2017 game.

 

[casey_contra]

200gb microsd purchase redeemed indeed

As a mostly physical gamer, I agree with this.
