Live: Watch The Nintendo Switch Nindies Spring 2018 Showcase Right Here

i would have liked to have known what is in the remaster

Capt_N said:

Ryu must now travel the world to battle plagiarism

ieatdragonz said:

Mark of the Ninja remastered got like 30 secs and thats a pretty big name

brickbear said:

where was wargroove

ieatdragonz said:

The games werent bad but why spend so little time on them?

Capt_N said:

Yeah, some things here looked interesting. That SF knockoff, & music game

gcunit said:

Liked the look of most of what I saw

ieatdragonz said:

Not even length really, no King of Cards really? No more than a minute of Banner Saga the last announcement thats actually really nice

rjejr said:

It did have some nice variety, but the Mini Direct just went live, should have just put this up on Switch and YT

RyanSilberman said:

@Dang69 You missed some interesting-looking games, but it was extremely brief overall

Dang69 said:

crap it's over

aaronsullivan said:

Never tried Lumines. Guessing my wife will really be into that. Nice nice variety. It was a bit short, but plenty of quality looking games, in my opinion

Dang69 said:

did i miss anything good

RyanSilberman said:

Short, but I'm definitely gonna review a bunch of games from here

Arnold-Kage said:

lightfall and that fighter

Capt_N said:

Actually, NL should have it easy making articles. The info here was enough to get an idea about things

Yasaal said:

@RyanSilberman Lmao

Blue551 said:

very short

ieatdragonz said:

I meaaaan this was a weak direct

NinjaSyao said:

For me, this one sucked hard

Tank207 said:

Nothing that really stood out. I was hoping for at least something on Shovel Knight.

RyanSilberman said:

@rjejr Nah Internet's made for por-

Lumine said:

Well that was rather disappointing.

NinjaSyao said:

No Freedom Planet news or Super Cloudbuilt announcement or an Everspace trailer?!

rjejr said:

People ALWAYS complain, it's what the internet was built for

Yasaal said:

Well pretty much disappointing. I'll take my leave then. Cya all

Capt_N said:

Well, that happened.

there are a few i'd pick up in a sale but my mind wasn't blown

masterLEON said:

Well, time to sleep. Laters.

DockEllisD said:

Fantasy Strike looks nice

RyanSilberman said:

@GrailUK and that fighter

SimplyCinnamon53 said:

At least there are a lot of timed exclusives. If only they were for better indie games

Captain_Toad said:

Should've called it a Nindies mini!

mark of the ninja was cool, but i'd rather have had a sequel than a remaster. bad north looks awesome

NF6429 said:

well, ima eat a donut, bye

ieatdragonz said:

The quick fire approach works for main directs, I dont think it works for indies

aaronsullivan said:

@rjejr but then people would have complained too many indies.

RyanSilberman said:

Now to check up on the tinybuild Direct

Azooooz said:

But..but people don't want indie games. They want AAA mega 1st & 3rd party game with blood and gore and guns, bullets everywhere

GrailUK said:

Ninjas, billiards and Lumines og and that beat em up.

EpicGamenator said:

What a dissapointment

Konnordano1615 said:

Way too short

RyanSilberman said:

It's extremely short, but hey. There are eye-catchers.

Not impressed

Yasaal said:

Will maybe get that music game from the beginning

Monkeido said:

Should've called it a Minindies Showcase

That felt shorter than normal

Yeah, but last years Nindie Showcase was much longer.

SimplyCinnamon53 said:

It was cool I guess...

and the ninja thing was pretty rad

NF6429 said:

that was more like a nintendo minute than anything

Fake-E-Lee said:

Back to work, that was absurd.

bluedogrulez said:

Morphies Law is where?

rjejr said:

They probably could have just put those 10 minutes in the 30 minute ND and made it 40

ieatdragonz said:

...good luck making the articles writers lol

RyanSilberman said:

@aaronsullivan Basically vague Spring and Summer dates

GrailUK said:

Like I said, you don't drive a hype train to a Nindie Direct.

masterLEON said:

I'll take the ninjas this time around.

Captain_Toad said:

that length was just..... I dont even...

MayorBigDeal said:

Will there be a post-credits scene?

Scottwood101 said:

that may well have been the most disappointing nintendo event i've ever seen

Martystuff said:

Well, lots more cool games. Fix your eShop, please, I love my Switch. Byeee!

I effin love lumines, it's great news

cfgk24 said:

Hello? Hello? Is anybody there?

aaronsullivan said:

I'm a little lost on dates for release... I don't think I was paying enough attention

NF6429 said:

if theirs a shinobi inspired game im happ

ieatdragonz said:

I mean had no expectations so not mad, happy for the games but odd they had only a couple

danmonse said:

This didn't need to be a live presentation, they should've just dropped it on Youtube

edgedino said:

was hoping for don't starve announcement

roadrunner343 said:

Lumines is on Steam

holygeez03 said:

Couldn't even spend 1 minute per game?

zionich said:

Messenger looks awesome. Maybe Banner Saga, nothing else really grabs my attntion

GrailUK said:

They showed quite a few games and all were new so, not too shabby

KillerTan98 said:

A 10 minute window should have been shown in advance. No one expected this.

Ralizah said:

That was... pretty mediocre.

RyanSilberman said:

So, has Lumines been on a non-Sony platform before?

NF6429 said:

well, atleas tthey showed something eh

Azooooz said:

It was nice.

Smashfan64 said:

Seems even announcement videos about indies are short. Ah well, they all look cool.

ImagineerNik said:

Well there was at least two there that interested me

NinjaBadger said:

Oh well

Maxz said:

Go angry dope!

Pluto14 said:

No Shovel Knight for Smash ;-;

That was a bit rubbis tbh.

RyanSilberman said:

They showed that much already. huh.

majinx07 said:

that's it?! boooo!

Joshua179 said:

hoped to see more, dang

RobotReptile said:

I was just getting comfortable

Wow. I honestly can't believe it was over that fast. That was given a bigger announce window than the direct.

Aurumonado said:

that sucked balls

aaronsullivan said:

These look really nice. Great variety

Pluto14 said:

14 games

Dogorilla said:

That was short but some great looking games in there

Ralizah said:

@DragonbornRito: Hollow Knight confirmed news is coming out later this week

Captain_Toad said:

Are you serious?!?!?!?!?!

Shy_Guy said:

bummer

Martystuff said:

We got spoiled by that 30-minute direct.

NF6429 said:

even under expectations

link3710 said:

Hollow Knight announced they wouldn't be in it, but reveal the date next week

Blue551 said:

A little short

holygeez03 said:

one more?

rjejr said:

4 days notice for 10 minutes?

Captain_Toad said:

that's it?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

aaronsullivan said:

Hollow Knight already said they'd announce date later this week

ieatdragonz said:

Uh I mean Banner Saga great addition, but being the last one might be a little too much weight on its neck

NF6429 said:

that was

Fazermint said:

Po De was my main takeaway

That was pretty lame

Pluto14 said:

But you know they showed 10 games so I guess that it's alright

Fake-E-Lee said:

Unbelievable.

Oh boy, okay

NF6429 said:

yep see

Smashfan64 said:

Maybe I can finally play banner Saga now

I'm starting to give up hope on Hollow Knight.

GrailUK said:

Oh that looks nice too!

link3710 said:

So I guess this was exclusively stuff that wasn't in previous directs?

bluedogrulez said:

No Bloodlines NO.9?!?

NF6429 said:

he said last today though

RyanSilberman said:

one more announcement please

Donutsavant said:

Yeah "our?"

Martystuff said:

Huh. That's cool, Banner Saga is awesome.

RyanSilberman said:

Please do one more

Fazermint said:

It's timy to build hype And here we go

holygeez03 said:

10 Minutes? Why not show more of each game?

Yasaal said:

That was fast

I hope he means HIS last announcement.

I do like Banner Sagar tho

masterLEON said:

For eel?

NF6429 said:

that was quick

Blue551 said:

Fake-E-Lee said:

For real? That's it??

That was real fast

Pluto14 said:

That's a short showcase then

masterLEON said:

wha?

RyanSilberman said:

ALREADY?

Blue551 said:

NF6429 said:

Captain_Toad said:

KillerTan98 said:

Smashfan64 said:

RobotReptile said:

aaronsullivan said:

Hah. Nice title. Looks nice

Fazermint said:

Maxz said:

RobotReptile said:

Fazermint said:

Ninja Gaiden but well designed?

ieatdragonz said:

Pfft Devolver Digital is such a great game company haha!

cfgk24 said:

oh! VIKINGHORDE!

Martystuff said:

Nindies? More like Ninja-dies... Ahem...

RyanSilberman said:

@RetroGamerAndrew Seconded!

bluedogrulez said:

Ninjas are carrying this one so far

KillerTan98 said:

Looks like it runs on the same engine as Shovel Knight.

Capt_N said:

interesting

Smashfan64 said:

haha "less"

My wallet. PLEASE STOP.

Ralizah said:

I mean, I like Ninja Gaiden, but...

masterLEON said:

it's a less frustrating Ninja Gaiden!

annnnd SOLD

KillerTan98 said:

Great pixel art.

cfgk24 said:

Ninjas are popular today

Fazermint said:

RyanSilberman said:

Martystuff said:

THAT's what two joy cons look like.

Captain_Toad said:

Fazermint said:

Me and the fiancee frickin' loved Putty Pals, so this looks like something to get as well

Oooooh. This looks perfect for me and the wife.

Donutsavant said:

roadrunner343 said:

Sold at co-op

Blue551 said:

Dawwww :3

Fazermint said:

Co op? Now we're talkin'

Captain_Toad said:

everyone love hats

masterLEON said:

Hats! instabuy!

RyanSilberman said:

System exclusive. Ayyy

Man that actually looks fun too.

Smashfan64 said:

I remember when this was just a little browser game

SmaggTheSmug said:

yeah, it's same world as kingdom of loathing

cfgk24 said:

HATS TO COLLECT!

Shy_Guy said:

RyanSilberman said:

I need to play this

Fazermint said:

Looks like something I could make

Blue551 said:

It's pretty funny

Ralizah said:

Where's my shovel?

Donutsavant said:

That is true

Capt_N said:

Gunman Clive

link3710 said:

Is this... related to kingdom of loathing?

Martystuff said:

Oh yay, I've been meaning to play this stick figure game!

Maxz said:

Speedier than celeste though

KillerTan98 said:

Smashfan64 said:

Martystuff said:

ieatdragonz said:

Nah its just the most recent and most loved of the genre, Meatboy and The End is Nigh are already the games

Capt_N said:

numbra, sounda familiar

roadrunner343 said:

since Super Meat Boy did celeste before celeste

Adhrast said:

This is the kind of skill-based game which I suck at

Donutsavant said:

You can just look at a game and know it's gonna get loved by critics. I don't get it!

roadrunner343 said:

I believe it would be meat-like

RyanSilberman said:

Yeah, LightFall. That's what it was

Capt_N said:

light fa;ll

masterLEON said:

it's like a less frustrating Electronic Super Joy

Smashfan64 said:

Limbo with a high jump

That one looks solid

Fazermint said:

Celeste-like is now a genre

Martystuff said:

This majestic soundtrack fills me with feelings!

giantenemycrab said:

Where is Sligeach to complain that this showcase has too many indie titles and no AAA games

bluedogrulez said:

Shantae: In the shadows

Ralizah said:

Celesto

Yasaal said:

Runner?

ieatdragonz said:

Oh this looks great! Legit looks like a celeste!

I dunno what this is, but it reminds me of Ori, and now I want Ori on my Switch.

Fazermint said:

Celeste's little brother

Captain_Toad said:

N+?

RyanSilberman said:

It's great

link3710 said:

??????????? This looks fun whatever it is?

@Shiryu you said it man

Blue551 said:

Cool

RyanSilberman said:

I PLAYED THIS AT PAX

Capt_N said:

what is that thing?

Shiryu said:

Byt the end of this presentation, I will be like "We're gonna need a bigger microSD card."

local co-op decision making? sounds like another word for a fight

me too

Fake-E-Lee said:

yeah, this isn't great so far at all. I'm not usually one to complain but they KNOW there are games we're hyped for and I'm not seeing ANY of them yet.

masterLEON said:

I suck at reigns

Hmm, sounds like a Papers Please type game.

card game with random events

Martystuff said:

Reigns is awesome, though it works great already on iOs.

Blue551 said:

Neat hotline maim when

Oooh, Reigns looks interesting.

Pluto14 said:

wow this is just a free mobile game right?

Apparantly it's pretty decent.

Hyazinth said:

was solid mobile game

Capt_N said:

rpg?

reigns... solid

Oh i've heard of this one.

masterLEON said:

Reigns!

Fazermint said:

Still waiting for some heavy hitters

Donutsavant said:

KillerTan98 said:

Good variety so far.

RyanSilberman said:

Isn't Lumines only on Sony???

Lots of music games

GrailUK said:

Lumines?? No *&%^*^&% way!!!

Fake-E-Lee said:

Lumines, seriously?

link3710 said:

This was on DS or something right?

Smashfan64 said:

I didn't think anyone else remembered Lumines

Captain_Toad said:

Nitrome?!

Donutsavant said:

I have been missing this!!!!!1

wowowo what's this lumines?

Maxz said:

That looks like a solid mechanic

Yasaal said:

This chicken eats whatever the KFC chicken is fed

ieatdragonz said:

This is so quick wow

RyanSilberman said:

Yes it counts. These are all eShop games

Donutsavant said:

NOOOOO

Oooh, Lumines

Dogorilla said:

Yeah this is Nitrome;s first console game

roadrunner343 said:

Oh nice

GrailUK said:

HOLYEEEEE!

masterLEON said:

Blue551 said:

Smashfan64 said:

This would be their first console game, yeah?

Fazermint said:

Looks neat.

Nothing's grabbed me so far.

RyanSilberman said:

@Captain_Toad the trio of Pool games released weeks apart

ieatdragonz said:

Hah looks like boxboy with bombs

Captain_Toad said:

the one on eshop doesn't count

aaronsullivan said:

We need bingo cards

Blue551 said:

Dogorilla said:

I used to love Nitrome

KillerTan98 said:

Chicken Platformer

Blue551 said:

Captain_Toad said:

Smashfan64 said:

aaronsullivan said:

First pixel art. But good looking

Blue551 said:

Hey adult swim do good

GrailUK said:

Brilliantly inventive

masterLEON said:

that's a lot of balls

RyanSilberman said:

OH GOODY ANOTHER POOL GAME Oh it's adult swim. Maybe I'll enjoy it

Martystuff said:

Bam bam bam. Cool stuff! I like these weird games! Fix your eShop so we can find them, please!

Fazermint said:

Looks a tad too gimmicky for my tastes

time to play with your balls

Fake-E-Lee said:

Garage looks kinda rad. Really not grabbing me with anything so far though.

Ahahahahahaha Ballerina Balls hahahahahaha

ieatdragonz said:

Pfft, Adult Swim games makes some weird games

Marble Madness: Pool Edition

Ralizah said:

*yawn*

holygeez03 said:

These people are boring as hell

link3710 said:

Okay whatever the heck this is, I want to play it

Captain_Toad said:

billards adventure?

antster1983 said:

Bet we'll see Garage on the TinyBuild #HelloSwitch later.

GrailUK said:

Oh wow this looks ace!!!!

Smashfan64 said:

Speaking of Adult Swim

RyanSilberman said:

But they strategically said it so it doesnt sound like butthole

bluedogrulez said:

Metal Gear NES 2.0

Fazermint said:

Goriously glory

Pluto14 said:

@Dragonbornrito reminds me of super hexagon too

Donutsavant said:

They said but whole on the last direct! Anything goes!

KillerTan98 said:

"gloriously gory"

Capt_N said:

looks interesting'

Yasaal said:

I like music games

Yasaal said:

Might get this

Capt_N said:

RyanSilberman said:

Wow. They got away with that

ieatdragonz said:

Wait a second, that was Monstercat Rainbow Road!

Captain_Toad said:

bullet hell is a normal phrase.

Blue551 said:

Yes he did

Super Hexagon Music Edition

RyanSilberman said:

Did he actually say "bullet hell"

Blue551 said:

Nice

Ralizah said:

I'll keep my eye on it

roadrunner343 said:

Looks pretty good - I'm not a huge fighter fan, but some of those looked interesting

link3710 said:

That looked pretty good

Dang69 said:

id try that game

Smashfan64 said:

Fantasy Strike is awesome

I'll stick with Smash

ieatdragonz said:

Not really grabbing me, but hopes fighter gamers would enjoy

Yasaal said:

Tbh I'd rather get Street Fighter but let's see

Martystuff said:

I like fighting pandas...

RyanSilberman said:

I'd play it

Dang69 said:

argghhhh wtf

GrailUK said:

RIP Pocket Rumble

masterLEON said:

Za Warudo!

I'm all for new fighter IPs.

Dang69 said:

poop i have a meeting right now

bluedogrulez said:

Fighting game? Yeah, don't need it

Capt_N said:

Street Fighter wannabe?

RyanSilberman said:

Man this looks like a AAA fighter

GrailUK said:

DonkeyDiddyKong said:

Mark of the Ninja is a good game but really no one needs remastering!

Fake-E-Lee said:

Wow. A fall release. :/

Donutsavant said:

Crazy uncle!!!!!!!

masterLEON said:

4-hour level playthroughs here I come!

Azooooz said:

It's been a long time since I watched a direct with NL fellows

mark of the ninja was cool, but i have it on 2 platforms already... does that add anything?

Maxz said:

Never Stop Sneakin

Pluto14 said:

Never heard of this, the art looks very nice

holygeez03 said:

NIDHOGG Please!

Yasaal said:

Indie remasters??

Dang69 said:

i don't know this game - but looks good

Capt_N said:

fall

Definitely pick up if you've never played it.

coxy100 said:

Fall ?

RyanSilberman said:

I have this on Steam, but I never played it

GrailUK said:

swet!

I was thinking in the back of my mind that this looked like Mark of the Ninja.

ieatdragonz said:

Oh cool!

Fazermint said:

Oh nicccce

Captain_Toad said:

Oh!!!

Smashfan64 said:

oh hey this game is rad

Ralizah said:

Mark of the NInja is a cool stealth game

coxy100 said:

Great game

bluedogrulez said:

Aeon Flux?

coxy100 said:

Captain_Toad said:

AcidGhost said:

Blue551 said:

NICE

Maxz said:

Go Damo go

Fazermint said:

Heqq is this

ieatdragonz said:

Looks like an Adult Swim game

Blue551 said:

0w0

@Donutsavant Agreed, the Undertale announcement was a bit of a downer at the end

DoctorOverbuild said:

I didn't even realise this was happening

Dang69 said:

Baker is a HUGE part of what made Switch successful last year, guy deserves a ton of credit.

Arnold-Kage said:

interesting title.

Donutsavant said:

I get that its tough for indie studios, but man we are still waiting for games from the first nindie showcase

andrew20 said:

holygeez03 said:

Please have and Image & Form announcement!

Fazermint said:

Oh ye boiiii

Captain_Toad said:

Me too.

Martystuff said:

I like that Damon Baker!

Donutsavant said:

If I have one complaint about these things, its that titles seem to get revealed with no prospect of a release date

blockfight said:

Show time!

Yasaal said:

Yay

Blue551 said:

Smashfan64 said:

oh hey cool

Capt_N said:

it begins

KillerTan98 said:

RIp the children's eyes, M ratings.

aaronsullivan said:

Yay

masterLEON said:

@gcunit ..........Indy Heat in simulation mode(?)

aaronsullivan said:

@ieatdragonz hey, that kind of thing would be nice.

ieatdragonz said:

It begins

HERE we go

Dang69 said:

@KillerTan98 I doubt Bloodstained will get a showing, thinking that's e3 at this point - BUT outside of Mr. Tako, this is what I wanna hear about it

GrailUK said:

lol

MacMan said:

Would a game like EVE Online ever work for a console system?

coxy100 said:

damn you GrailUK, damn you

majinx07 said:

does anyone know how long this will be?

Fake-E-Lee said:

And 5...4..3..2..

Captain_Toad said:

Wallets if you value your life, look away now.

bluedogrulez said:

TinyBuild's direct is at 12:30, so tihs one should be over by then

Forill said:

I am not going into this with any expectations

Capt_N said:

I've been trying to find that out

Pluto14 said:

Okay tnx

ieatdragonz said:

I wouldnt be opposed to getting some indie dlc (steamworld dig 2 dlc anyone?)

GrailUK said:

no coxy it's not.

Dogorilla said:

Probably 20-30 minutes?

Yasaal said:

@Cosats YES PLEASE

Pluto14 said:

@everyone does anyone know how long this showcase will be?

Cosats said:

I'd like Nintendo theme songs for VOEZ

coxy100 said:

testing this works

aaronsullivan said:

Wow, never saw that game. I was the rare owner of a Master System in the US, but we didn't get near as many games

Yasaal said:

This showcase better be worth it

Dang69 said:

@Forill - watch and see lol, lots of people get made when there aren't any non-indie announcements in the Indie Showcases

Capt_N said:

I buy my gold from Rosland Capital

bluedogrulez said:

Shake down Hawaii PLEEEESE

How could it be awful, @AlexOlney? IT'S U.S. GOLD.

jamesRainbowBoy said:

U.S. Gold... takes me back...

KillerTan98 said:

Since yesterday.

Capt_N said:

U.S Gold done a Mega Man game gear game

masterLEON said:

@gcunit I don't think there's been a decent Indy game since.............

zionich said:

I just would love to see Salt and Sanctuary on Switch

Pluto14 said:

Good old times

Blue551 said:

@dang69 that old joke can't really work now

Forill said:

@Dang69 ah okay. Not brand new here but I rarely watch directs from here. Normally watch from YouTube

ieatdragonz said:

I bet Im going to see a ton of good games, think to myself about buying them, never buy them, and feel regret

bluedogrulez said:

good change i think

Pluto14 said:

I love how people are hyping the direct because of Smash, even though it's very clear that they won't show smash or any other game made by Nintendo.

KillerTan98 said:

Say, any chance Bloodstained gets shown?

Blue551 said:

3 mins

Dang69 said:

@Forill - I was making an old joke new again

Dang69 said:

I do think Shovel Knight will be in the new Smash, but seriously doubt any new of thathere

bluedogrulez said:

@Damo: LOL. Bring the racers!

Forill said:

@Dang69 This is a Nindies direct, they will not mention anything about Smash

Yasaal said:

@ieatdragonz Rly? Wow XD

gcunit said:

Love an indie developer to get their hands on the Indy licence....

Not long now.

masterLEON said:

@Damo Codemasters?

ieatdragonz said:

We did have a short convo on which indie fighters should go to Smash @Yasaal lol

Capt_N said:

4mins to go

Dang69 said:

Calling it now. They are announcing Smash 5

aaronsullivan said:

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Time

Smashfan64 said:

I wonder if they'll announce tetsuo for Smash

Capt_N said:

the ones on Wiiware

SMOOSH

ieatdragonz said:

SMASH

Yasaal said:

Ah so no idiots screaming Smash huh. That's good XD

Donutsavant said:

Maybe a twin stick shooter?? Hope springs eternal

aaronsullivan said:

Indiana Jones and the curse of the Chozo

Capt_N said:

Wait, weren't the Rebirth games done by Indies?

MacMan said:

Has anyone played Galaxy on Fire - Manticore on iOS? Was it worse or better than the previous 2 entries in the series?

Donutsavant said:

It would be great to see a sleek art style on a Metroidvannia

Capt_N said:

or how you prefer to spell it

KillerTan98 said:

Shovel Knight and Yooka-Laylee physical and the showcase will be made.

masterLEON said:

@GrailUK I believe so. Llamasoft is his studio name.

Capt_N said:

*laughs

Donutsavant said:

I hope to see at least one 2d platformer

ieatdragonz said:

Scroll down

ieatdragonz said:

Alex already made the joke @Damo

gcunit said:

That's Henry Jones Junior to you @Damo

Cosats but Hiphopopotomous is better than Rhymenocorous.

Yasaal said:

Damo with these live puns XD

Capt_N said:

Original Trilogy is better than the Prequel Trilogy.

GrailUK said:

You wait all day for Indian Jones and 2 turn up at once.

ieatdragonz said:

Rhinoceros is better than hippopotamus

Yasaal said:

Woah Alex good taste

mist said:

Might we see anything of RICO? Per chance!

GrailUK said:

Jeff Minter is an indie right?

aaronsullivan said:

@GrailUK Only if they release a spiinner Joy-con along side it

Dogs are better than Cats.

Dang69 said:

Don't we'd hear anything about Bloodstained here - but that'd be oh so great.

and it looks like they're working on guacamelee 2

Capt_N said:

How about a Mighty Switch Force game on Switch? A team-up with Samus?

HeroOfCybertron said:

About how long is this supposed to be?

Martystuff said:

@AlexOlney it's weird to lose all respect for you in one #related moment. (Dogs dogs dogs)

GrailUK said:

Oh...Tempest4K please!

link3710 said:

If you say so Alex

Turrican said:

I want Super Turrican Director's Cut for Switch!

Dang69 said:

Cats are better than dogs

drinkbox studios!

It was announced for PS4 but hopefully it'll be announced in this direct for the switch.

Capt_N said:

I like both, alex

ieatdragonz said:

@StormtheFrontier Niiice hope that comes to Switch

Dang69 said:

Mr. Tako pleasssssseee

@ieatdragonz - juicebox ? i think was the studio name

GrailUK said:

My three predictions are pixels, shooting and jumping.

Capt_N said:

*hums Wayforward jungle*

masterLEON said:

VBlank

They're making Guacamelee 2

mist said:

I’m a bumble bee

Fake-E-Lee said:

@TheWorkingDead NeuroVoider is my reigning champ right now.

Capt_N said:

Wayforward

gcunit said:

I'd take a hot sandwich right now, so long as it doesn't come with 8-bit graphics.

ieatdragonz said:

Anyone know what the company that did Severed and Guaca-melee are doing? I wanna know whats their next move.

aaronsullivan said:

@AlexOlney Aw, and our comments aren't time stamped so I can't stop you

TheWorkingDead said:

What's everyone's favorite Nindie?

Capt_N said:

NINTENDO - We Have The Indies! Like Arbys has the meats

hot switch indie-jections sounds a little too 18+ for nintendo

cfgk24 said:

@AlexOlney Indie-gestion

KillerTan98 said:

LOL

aaronsullivan said:

hot switch indie-jection... sounds a bit too much like hot sandwich indigestion for my taste...

KillerTan98 said:

Yooka-Laylee physical plz.

Capt_N said:

I'm not rabbid, so I'm not frothing

It starts at 4pm UK time, time zones are awkward because of daylight savings

ieatdragonz said:

Great indie games lost to the eshop dilemma! Would be a good clickbait title.

Capt_N said:

I... don't know if he already gave us Mother 3

Capt_N said:

Reggie still needs to give us stuff!

MacMan said:

@masterLEON

Donutsavant said:

I'm just proud of us for opting for public transit. Good for the enviorment

Blue551 said:

hopefully we get updates

Blue551 said:

they only show new ones

4pm gmt i think is the start

aaronsullivan said:

Tools are going to lower the barrier for some very AAA looking games done by small teams but probably with less content in the next 5 years or so. Lines will get blurrier for sure

Blue551 said:

Well from the last showcase they never showed any other game form the first one even in updates

GrailUK said:

Nindie directs travel with appreciation busses as opposed to hype trains lol.

zackata said:

Umm, so this starts after 10 minutes or later - I;m confused with this time zones

cfgk24 said:

Mmmmmm - I can smell San Francsican Leather. . . mmmmm

masterLEON said:

@MacMan I bet there are only 2 people here that know what Escape Velocity is. You and me

Capt_N said:

yes

There's lots of very good indie games on Switch, the eshop itself is the problem. Unless a game is on sale, it falls out of easily viewable after a week or so post-launch.

cfgk24 said:

Pixelated artwork like inOctopath Traveler!

Expa0 said:

So wait is this happening in 12 minutes now?

dorkeybubblehead said:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAm

@Blue551 I think they will sometimes give developer updates as to how a game is progressing, no?

too many people think pixelated artwork = indie nowadays. and with big publishers helping smaller dev houses get things out the line is definitely blurred.

Blue551 said:

Like they never repeat the same announcements ever

Capt_N said:

Hi Damo

aaronsullivan said:

@Captain_Toad lol

cfgk24 said:

Cfgk24 in the house!

ieatdragonz said:

I would say has an actual ad campaign outside of gaming websites would be a triple A game/company

Capt_N said:

Rytmik

cfgk24 said:

I'm looking at my lovely Waterfield Switch Case

Blue551 said:

Plus don't nindes showcases only show new games and not old ones?

MacMan said:

I'd love to see a game like Escape Velocity make a come back

Captain_Toad said:

@yummy back 30 million dollars, lot of ads, graphics over gameplay and microtransactions.

AlexOlney said:

An A in at least Maths, English, & Science.

Capt_N said:

Yes, a very small, thin battery

Does anyone actually no the minimum requirement to be AAA?

ieatdragonz said:

See I dont want to abuse the term double A but yeah Nicalis, NIS America and THQ Nordic are probably the companies that fit that term best

aaronsullivan said:

(nickname: double aa ron, by the way)

Capt_N said:

I would like a sequel to Teslagrad.

aaronsullivan said:

Double A. I walked in an people were yelling double a. Went to my head for a second. But I do like the idea of making a distinction between AAA and games that don't quite qualify

ieatdragonz said:

Bethesda is just a good company all round, hope they continue giving us some great games

Aurumonado said:

I'm only interested in quadra-A games (AAAA)

Oubie said:

Owlboy is a great game, especially after the latest patch!

link3710 said:

Yeah, I'm hoping THQ Nordic settles into the AA role at the moment, they seem the most likely

Blue551 said:

not many westren stuff tbh

Smashfan64 said:

There's probably gonna be more about Undertale

Blue551 said:

And capcom games

At least with indies performance usually doesn't matter

Blue551 said:

I'd honestly prefer good AAA game like DOOM and wolf

Indies are the new AA games tbh

I don't really mind indies on the Switch tbh. If I want 3rd party games, I'll almost always buy them on PS4 anyway because of the better performance

Its a shame I see so much negativity about Nindies here

Captain_Toad said:

Double A needs to return. Too much triple a on the surface.

Cosats said:

Quality of indie games on Nintendo Switch is AMAZING so far.

ieatdragonz said:

Even since the beggining with Binding of Issac!

Capt_N said:

I honestly believe smart device games almost irreversibly altered perception about a game's price

ieatdragonz said:

They have been by far the best third party supporter of the Switch

link3710 said:

Oh and Take-Two, whoops

ieatdragonz said:

Its saddening because Nicalis is a genuinely cool company

ieatdragonz said:

They are pumping games out for half the price of Triple A, but people dislike them because they want "indies" to be cheap

link3710 said:

Indies seem to be anything not: Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft, EA, Activision Blizzard, THQ Nordic, Square Enix, Koei Tecmo, SEGA, Capcom, Bandai Namco.

Captain_Toad said:

Double AYYYY!

Capt_N said:

A game does not need a big name developer to be good.

ieatdragonz said:

The most interesting thing to me, is double A. I know a lot of people dislike the phrase but thats honestly the only way I can describe companies like Nicalis and NIS America

Capt_N said:

Indies aren't bad. I like Shantae, Teslagrad, Runner,

Cosats said:

completely agree with @AlexOlney about indies

Firlow said:

Indies are third party support. Just not /the/ third party support that people get hype about

ieatdragonz said:

@Yummyhappypills We have like a ton on this website alone lol

Iggy-Koopa said:

Well, the general consensus seems to say that TSA: NMH is a Nindie, so hyyyyyyype!

Firlow said:

Indie games are great fun, when priced... Well, not £40 like some of them I've seen. I don't like those.

Captain_Toad said:

@Alex Heh, the way switch is supporting indies right now. That distinction should decline.

I know many eople who talk down indies as "Not third party support"

Aurumonado said:

I just found out today that floor kids is switch exclusive

masterLEON said:

Elite Dangerous! (way out there prediction)

ieatdragonz said:

Both have found their audiences, and both are thriving

Travis Strikes again is indie.

Blue551 said:

Seeing how grasshopper actually srunk down to small indie size then yea No more heros is now indie

Firlow said:

I imagine we'll get some grand ol' Indies today

ieatdragonz said:

In todays marketplace, indie games are being discredited Alex. Although thats sad I know many people who play almost no triple A games anymore. Having a distinction isn't required!

@Iggy-Koopa I don't know, that's what I'm confused about DX

Capt_N said:

Cop, firefighter,..scuba diver? Veterinarian?

Iggy-Koopa said:

Travis Strikes Again is technically an indie game, right? I hope I see more of that.

I'm gonna venture a guess and say no

@ElementsOfBlank the full company name is Activision Blizzard, you tell me if they are indie

ieatdragonz said:

Blizzard is part of Activision, which is even less indie

GrailUK said:

The only hope of pocket rumble is shoving a joycon down your pants.

Capt_N said:

Patricia Wagon - what would be her next job?

ieatdragonz said:

Ubisoft threw that game down the ski slope

Ah okay, is it because of how large they are?

ieatdragonz said:

Speaking honestly, I think Steep never had a chance to begin with. Saw zero advertising and no one even said a word when it released

Oubie said:

Mighty Switch Force 3!

Capt_N said:

good question

Blizzard would NOT IN ANY WAY count

GrailUK said:

Steep is being rebranded as 1080 - Steep. (not really but I hope Nintey give Ubisoft another franchise)

Hey, does anyone know what companies count as indie developers? Like would Blizzard count? I've never really got which companies count

Steep has long missed its chance

ieatdragonz said:

Good thing thats not indie so we dont need to expect it here!

Fake-E-Lee said:

@AlexOlney Man, I was thinking that about Pocket Rumble too but those guys have gone straight SILENT.

ieatdragonz said:

Steep is the other vaporware ring on the Switch's hand

Capt_N said:

Plot Twist - Labo is being done by Indies

GrailUK said:

What is this Pocker Rumble of which you speak?

link3710 said:

Or back in the Wii era, dozens of games we don't lol

Pocket Rumble, the eternal vapourware.

link3710 said:

They have different release dates in the UK

King of Cards surely has to be here

Blue551 said:

woomy on a vroomy lets go boys

Maybe that Rocket League performance patch?

Ooh good point Marty

EpicGamenator said:

i Find it wierd that nintendo uk have diffrent yt channels they both have the same language

GrailUK said:

Good call Marty

Capt_N said:

Someone mentioned Nicalis - Now I'm thinking NightSky

Martystuff said:

Speaking of Stardew, I'd expect a multiplayer announcement in this.

ieatdragonz said:

Ubisoft last year was pretty good though, hope they realize how to make a good conference

Its become tradition, every year I sit and watch E3 here with some others and we get hammered. Or smashed

Captain_Toad said:

@Yummy same

The only E3 meme I partake in is alcoholism watching EA and Ubisoft

link3710 said:

We'll see, it may be fully digital. 5 & 6 have only had digital releases in the west so far

Oubie said:

Looking forward to more of Away...journey something...looked promising

Capt_N said:

Robot Reggie

Capt_N said:

Nah, I just like to babble E3 memes

You can tell its Smash hype season because its all anyone talks about

Capt_N said:

Of course, CToad is Nintendo.

ieatdragonz said:

But knowing capcom only one will be on the cartridge

Capt_N said:

& Captain Toad

Capt_N said:

I still think Shantae would be a good fit for Smash.

ieatdragonz said:

Already got 1-3 on 3ds so 4-6 sounds like a nobrainer

link3710 said:

Yup, we're getting both 1-3 as a collection and 4-6 as a collection, then a PW 7

Captain_Toad said:

I personally don't want shovel knight in smash......

GrailUK said:

There will be Pixels. (Coming soon this summer starring Daniel Day Lewis)

Id love to see 20XX but that's going to PS4 first I believe

ieatdragonz said:

Oh yeah wasn't there supposed to be a Pheonix Wright game this year? Only mentioning cause hes on the hype train lol

Donutsavant said:

I love to predict Directs! But these Nindie things are always surprises.

Martystuff said:

Cuz predicting stuff is fun, Donut. Like donuts.

DarkSim01 said:

As someone else said, maybe slip in a tease at the end of some Nindie Smash characters... i.e. Shovel Knight.

Capt_N said:

Iwata's direct gesture would unleash his final smash.

Satoru Iwata Directs the Pain

Captain_Toad said:

Hi storm!

Capt_N said:

I was just about to mention that. Hello

Hi everyone.

If any "real" person was to be in Smash, Id want Iwata

ieatdragonz said:

Last direct I swear I got nothing right haha

GrailUK said:

Only thing I 'got right' was voting for Bayonetta for Smash.

Capt_N said:

I want Bill Trinen, Kit, & Krysta as unlockables in the next Smash!

WTH Etika hype train

GrailUK said:

I'm always wrong Mr Donut

Capt_N said:

You're welcome

They reaffirmed Redout is coming, but are now probably terrified of what DigitalFoundry fans will do to them

Captain_Toad said:

@Capt_N You're making me blush!

Donutsavant said:

Why is anyone predicting anything? Has anyone ever been right predicting one of these things?

Fazermint said:

better than squid kids, for sure lol

brunojenso said:

FAST RMX DLC - MK style Mission Mode

ieatdragonz said:

Honestly I just want Nicalis to actually announce Redout release, like this game delayed or something?

Mighty No. 9? Naaah

Capt_N said:

Who thinks Capt. Toad would make a decent Smash character

Fazermint said:

I want Chronicles of Teddy on my Switch, super underrated gem

Martystuff said:

@grailUk those are very solid picks that would be day 1 grabs for me.

Captain_Toad said:

Dungeon Defenders 2 and Slime Rancher 2 pls.

After the Blossom Tales sales, I expect most of Steam that's worth giving a damn about to show up

Fazermint said:

Every release

Capt_N said:

"Come on, Reggie! Give us Mother 3!"

Martystuff said:

@fazermint Do you mean the game, 'Everything,' or you want every release made physical? Either way, I'm one board.

ieatdragonz said:

Anyone hoping for Into the Breach? Love that game on PC, would give it more time if was on a portable

Oubie said:

I also think Swords & Soldiers 2 deserves a second chance on Switch

GrailUK said:

Hyper light Drifter, Pyre and Cuphead. There. I don't think I could be more disappointed in 30 mins if I tried

ieatdragonz said:

Would love hd trilogy but they releasing Pirates Curse so >doubt

Fazermint said:

E V E R Y T H I N G

Fazermint said:

...Everything physical

Martystuff said:

Yeah, I don't even know what I'm hoping for anymore, I have a back-log at this point and just keep going back to Stardew. Those crops pull me back in!

Fazermint said:

Shantae HD trilogy physical release

ieatdragonz said:

*too dammit lol

Oubie said:

I really hope Guacamelee 2 comes to Switch as well!

ieatdragonz said:

Tbh the first two games are two short alone, maybe a two pack?

antster1983 said:

@brunojenso I'd be up for Spelunky!

20wonders said:

The first two Shantae games on Switch, please!

brunojenso said:

Anyone else love some Spelunky HD and is crossing fingers?

Maybe Bandai will port that weird Wii U exclusive F2P game they made

GrailUK said:

I can't afford all the games I want! I'm not sure about Indiana Jones, more like indie and the loans

Capt_N said:

Captain Toad for Smash!

ieatdragonz said:

Shantae is my indie pick but Shovel Knight would be lit

Oubie said:

I hope so!!!

20wonders said:

Shovel Knight in Smash character vid, anyone?

Fazermint said:

Yeah I'm hoping mostly for new reveals

Martystuff said:

@oubie I think that dream is highly likely. I could see Madeline (celeste) or shovel knight in there easily.

I just saw what YouTube has in the "Up Next slot". The 50 facts Smash Wii U video.

brunojenso said:

@YummyHappyPills Nice - good to know where their motivation at. oh well. Maybe some new 3D platform passion will appear

ieatdragonz said:

I got nuff' games to worry bout, so I don't know how much investment I can put into this lol. King of Cards would be dope though, and surprises are welcome

Oubie said:

Me dream: A Nindie Character Smash announcement...

20wonders said:

Morphies Law is a given. Idk why a date hasn't been announced for Wolfenstein II

Paperboy said:

Cuphead would be amazing

Physis said:

Maybe finally Pocket Rumble? It's been almost a full year since it was supposed to launch.

Wow, HLD is even on the Ouya.

I know it's still in very early development, but I'd love to hear about the new game from Chucklefish, the magic school one

link3710 said:

HLD has been on my list of games I want to try for a long time, so that'd be nice.

Capt_N said:

How long is this supposes to be?

20wonders said:

I'd love to see Cuphead but I heard that Microsoft helped out with some of the funding so it will probably stay on PC and Xbox One.

Fazermint said:

King of Cards + physical version announcement pls
