They said later today, probably a few hours

That's an apple arcade game. As someone with an android phone though I'm glad it's coming to switch.

The dev, CAPY, made one of my all-time favorites on the PS3, Critter Crunch. That one was also an import from the mobile market.

No Hollow Knight: Silk Song update is a bummer but I actually thought for the 20 minute window they showed games, it
was a solid showing. Picking up A Short Hike and Raji today for sure. Hades is a SOLID rogue type as well. How about
those Subnautica games? Very cool they're going to Switch as well.

Overall, very good Indie Showcase. I'd score it 4 outta 5 Super Marios.

 

[ExpandKong]

Raji looks interesting. Everything else seemed like...indie soup.

It wasn't the worst Indie we've had. Though I wonder what happened to the Microsoft game that is coming. Likely delayed.

Hopefully next week is 5/5 Mario's

Is this the thread where people will lose their entitled minds because Nintendo doesn’t announce Super Ultra Metroid or whatever? (Even though it is specified clearly to be an indie focused ‘event’........)

 

[Tell_men]

Hades looks incredibly fun.

No thats the I sold my switch thread.

 

[tkscz]

Holy fuck the comments.

Nintendo: *CLEARLY states it's a showcase of indie games*
YT Comments: "ZELDA WHERE!? SMASH BROS WHERE!?"

You're looking for the Youtube comments

Most of that was pretty awful stuff, mediocre at best.

Hades is ok, it's been in Early Access forever.

That one game with the geometry looked okish.

I guess I'm let down that we didn't hear about Silksong, but that was probably asking too much.

Looking in from outside (I don't watch these), any event with Subnautica coming to the Switch, has to be at least a solid show. That's such a great get.

The way I see it is they are going even bigger than Hollow Knight. That's okay with me. Though their twitter has not even been updated since March which is odd. Maybe Hollow Knight is big enough for a general direct now?

Yea, it was only a fools hope really.

I'd say Silksong would even be it's own event, platform agnostic.

 

[tkscz]

As for the show itself, Raji looks worth getting, gives me Prince of Persia vibes. She Dreams Elsewhere looks alright, but I like any games that have an Earthbound feel to them. Everything else looked ok, not much I was interested in. Was honestly hoping for Fallguys.

I skip Indieworld, then check out the games that people are raving about later. Saves me from the Good-bye Volcano High pretentious drivel and endless derivative 2D platformers and 'spiritual successors', lol.

I really do love a great indie game, but it's become a big market, and as all things do when that happens, it's become harder to find actually good content that isn't following some kind of trend.

It's called we collectively place -Arcadia- on ignore. It'll be just like shadow banning her where she can still post but none of us will see it!

I think I will start campaigning for that.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Nice trailer and music.

For sure Jooxed Oh and Raji is apparently live on the eShop!

Shaqazooloo are you picking it up? If anyone does let us know int he Nintendo thread!

 

[Punished Miku]

I'd play A Short Hike for like .... $5. The flying seemed kind of fun. I checked and it's $8, so not a bad price. Going to wait though.

Raji is $23. Looks like a $15 game to me. I'll have to read some reviews. It looks like it could either be a sleeper hit, or a 1st game from a new studio with lots of problems. The art is really neat, but the colors and lighting and very muted, hiding a lot of the art design.

Two player Goose makes sense honestly. Half the fun of that game is showing people the game and just laughing about it. Makes a lot of sense.

Hades looks like it should appeal to me, but I honestly haven't liked any games from that studio ever. Pretty skeptical.

Secret secret, I've got a secret

 

[Carna]

Maybe Takashi & Hiroshi, interested me a little bit? Because I thought "cool!, japanese claymation" then the gameplay looked dull as hell.

 

[Punished Miku]

Card Shark also looked pretty cool.

Takashi and Hiroshi looked like the animation part is neat, but the gameplay part looks awful.

Takashi is $8.

 

[Vawn]

That was pretty underwhelming, even for an Indie showcase.

 

[Orta]

Well that was a load of shite. Only thing of note was the interview with Raji's developer.

Or rather me mentally undressing her as she blabbered on about India.

 

[StormCell]

It has begun... the onslaught of negativity.

I didn't watch Indie World either, but Subnautica looks cool, Hades looked interesting, and there was Torchlight 3. I expected nothing of interest and came away with something I might buy at steep discount!

 

[Portugeezer]

Just bought Evergate, looks pretty good. Raji also looks good but I'll wait for a price drop.

 

[Knitted Knight]

Was hoping for more Balan Wonderworld footage.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Well I thought that was all great and I'll be picking up quite a few of them.

The Switch has picked up the torch from the Vita as the best place to play Indies.

It’s amazing to me there’s more people complaining about this sort of thing than people who actually whine about Nintendo Direct’s not having certain games. Stop trying to be Jim Sterling

 

[Punished Miku]

Manifold Garden looks amazing, but I know I'll get lost and never finish it lol. Really not good at first person mazes.

 

[Javthusiast]

I see indie I sleep.

 

[Punished Miku]

Takeshi and Hiroshi supposedly takes 60-90 minutes to complete

'Takeshi and Hiroshi' on Apple Arcade is a delightful exploration of familial bonds

What to play now: Think talking dragons are just for kids? "Takeshi and Hiroshi," an adorable game with a heartfelt message on how not to miss out on life's biggest rewards, is all-ages fun.

[carlosrox]

I thought that Indian game looked pretty hot.

Games about different cultures are super cool.

Really enjoyed Mulaka as well.

 

[NahaNago]

That was a pretty solid indie world. I'll probably end up buying a few of those later today games tomorrow.

 

[Punished Miku]

I recommend everyone try the demo for Hypnospace Outlaw. It's up now.

I apparently was sleeping during this part of the direct, because this is absolutely not like anything I've heard of. The whole "game" is set up like an early 90s web browser. You comb through dial up web pages and interact with your computer OS. I think you're some kind of mod reporting content?

Even if you hate it, it's so unique it's worth a look. Very weird game.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

one step closer to a real direct I guess. Still a good group of titles more 2021 titles than I expected

 

[struggler_guts]

Hades looks like it should appeal to me, but I honestly haven't liked any games from that studio ever. Pretty skeptical.

I'm curious how come? Supergiant's are some of my favs, the art and music are always on point and though the gameplay varies from each one it's always pretty snappy.

Y'all are sleepin on Hades though, it's got a ton of content for 20 bucks!
