There are other Game Maker games that have been ported to consoles, though.
Hotline Miami comes to mind.
When is the divorce?I wasn't watching the indie showcase tonight on the tv and my wife commented "I don't like how all these games look so old." (Paraphrasing)
I was scanning the new Japanese episode of Cat Mario show, and there was this big Japanese strategy war game:

Hardly an indie game, but what is it? Haven't seen it before.

IIRC there are only 8 characters so far. During the kickstarter campaign there were a few stretch goals for extra characters that weren't met (the campaign only hit the required minimum I think). So maybe if the game is successful they'll add more?
Nobunaga's Ambition, one of Koei Tecmo's longest running series.
That's already not bad for a 10 bucks game. I'll buy it.
Plenty of games to keep me going through the first months of Switch (Especially considering Zelda will keep me going for most of March as it is)
They said they have 60 indies lined up so far this year didn't they? Hopefully in the summer they will have another indie showcase as that was a great presentation.
I hope the likes of Hyper Light Drifter, Hotline Miami 1&2, Owlboy and Undertale make it to Switch by the end of the year. What a line up the system could have by the end of 2017

i wonder if gm has easy switch support yet though. I think that was the big problem with the wii u stuff.
that said, stardew is there, so...
RedColumn compiled a list of 81 known games, but included Minecraft, MC:Story Mode, and Shovel Knight counted as 3 games.

I am sure that quite a few of these games will come in upcoming weeks. The dude said it himself, every week new games to Eshop, like with earlier consoles.
There was many games with Spring or even a specific month mentioned.
I am really digging couple of the games, so glad that Nintendo get so much quality content so early in the Switch's life.
Nintendo is really active with Indies this time, read somewhere how one of the devs tweeted to someone at Nintendo about their game and the guy got in tocuh immediately. Think it was that dude in the video. Isn't he the Indie guy at Nintendo?
And those Swedish (Steamworld guys) went to Germany to see Switch themselves before anyone knew about it. Only 2 guys and they couldn't tell even their team about the meeting. Such an exciting thought!
Lots of good interviews aired immediately after the Showcase.

That's really cool. I think it's okay to list Shovel Knight as three separate games, since they're selling it that way, but it probably makes more sense to list Shovel of Hope rather than Treasure Trove. At least, to me it does. Regardless, really cool to see all of that. It made me realize...
If The Fall: Part 2 is releasing on Switch, I really hope they port Part 1 over to the system as well.
I'm with you on this, especially since there's opportunity for versus matches in tabletop setup OUT OF THE BOX.

Game Maker 2 will have support for Xbox One and PS4. I guess support for Switch is just a matter of time.

Shakedown Hawaii looks awesome, I cannot wait!

It does seem like Ninty are more pro-active with them this time round which is exciting! The fact that games like Towerfall and Duck Game (Which I never even heard of but looks like fun) are going to be so much more easily assessable for multiplayer due to the nature of the system
I just frantically finished the VOEZ OT and I cannot wait to post it. Looks pretty damn good for a rush job if I may say so myself.
Nintendo did a fairly good job with the Wii U indies as well. The problem then was that the only middleware that eventually appeared was Unity, and the Unity support wasn't without faults. And the development HW units were expensive (although they could be hired from Nintendo for a period of time).
With the Switch, they have Unity and UE4 support at launch, in addition to their own SDK. And really inexpensive development hardware units. The major thing they currently lack is Game Maker support as well.
The system seems capable of running Game Maker right? So it should hopefully be soon that games using that are added?

Shovel Knight and Fast RMX are launch for sure. I'm not sure about other stuff.

I think they just said March for that one.
also throwing my hat into the 'I didn't know The Fall 2 was already a thing and coming to Switch' ring.
and another one for 'Wargroove looks exactly like Advance Wars thus day zero' goes without saying.
and it looks like I'll be checking out this Stardew Valley fuss.
and everybody says Hollow Knight is the business.
fuck

Maybe I should cancel some pre-orders and get eShop cards instead.
Yes, Game Maker isn't the most demanding of game engines. It's more that Yoyo Games and Nintendo settles a deal.
Clearly the Switch is shaping up to be the "Ri?e" console. Port of RIDE when?

If that's true then someone needs to do an emergency OT.

Not sure if it's correct but Gamestop shows Has Been Heroes as 3/28. They are Publishing a Physical version so that should give the date a bit more credibility.

I know Humble Bundle did a Nintendo pack a few years back. It would be very smart if they did another one for the Switch by the end of the year.
Just caught up with the Direct but phew, that was quite the lineup! I'm impressed.
Those would have been cool indeed, as would have been Gang Beasts perhaps (assuming it will turn out to be good). Undertale is another one I somewhat expected to see, even though that is not a multiplayer game of course.
I was also missing Double Dragon 4 (not officially indie but still) and River City Ransom: Underground myself, both being IP that were heavily tied to Nintendo consoles of yore, while hoping Nintendo would throw the world a curveball by announcing that they'd be releasing AM2R as an officially sanctioned Metroid 2 Remake (possibly with some slight alterations if needed according to former Metroid devs). (I have to admit, them starting the video with Steamworld Dig 2 and mentioning how it resembles Metroid kinda got my hopes up for AM2R...sigh...)
All that said, this was a promising start for sure. Hopefully the Switch can become a good home to a wide selection of indies.

But someone once said pocket rumble is launch. Thus, we shall believe it.

Wii U dev kits weren't exactly expensive they were comparable with other systems and it were available on a 12 month free loan

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I've started my own alternative facts
If the MSRP of the retail copy of the collection has gone up, there's an eShop version available for purchase. ^^
I don't think the sequel came out on 3DS, but it is on Wii U.
Yeah but we've known about that one for a while and I think it had an OT for the other versions already.
