Nintendo Switch Indie World Showcase 17/03/2020
- Thread starter It’s Time To Go
- Start date
Not expecting Silksong because any Hollow Knight news has never appeared in an Indie Direct. HK was an announcement, HK shadowdrop was at E3 2018, Silksong announcement was via Team Cherry's Twitter, shortly after the Feb 19th Direct and more Silksong gameplay got shown at the Nintendo Treehouse 2019. Never appeared in an Indie Direct and I don't think it will happen now. Hollow Knight might be too big of a name to appear in an Indie Direct
These go by quick, but I always end up loving at least one or two games, so I'm in. I'm also happy that the rumors are looking like they're true and that we're more than likely getting that next Direct next week
Excellent. Indies, other than Nintendo exclusives and FromSoft titles, are my favorite games at this point. I am excited.
Honestly, ever since Cadence of Hyrule I have an unreasonable expectation that there will be an indie announced using a Nintendo IP and it's only happened once. :(
To quote myself from the direct thread:
I think Silksong is more general direct material, rather that indie world material, but I'd be happy to be wrong and get a trailer tomorrow.

Angry reminder that Silksong was announced on Twitter like an hour after a Nintendo Direct for some strange reason.
But I don't disagree that it's Direct material, September Direct material
Not expecting Silksong at all. I remember the publicity cycle (or lack thereof) for the Hollow Knight port and how Nintendo was dead silent about it on their end until it was ready at E3 2018, and I've been trained to err on the side of pessimism and patience. If the indie presentations adhere to any pattern at all, it's that there are very few repeat appearances if any at all, and that Nintendo likes to come off as the lead platform for new multiplatform announcements we aren't able to guess. Remember: this was their coordinated PR package for GDC. Expect the new.
Likeliest candidate for a high-profile imminent release that we already know about: I'm thinking CrossCode. Biggest potential catch that we don't already know exists, but is perhaps my most-wanted port: Outer Wilds. Other than that, I'm looking forward to totally unknown quantities, not established names in the scene.
I'm backlogged anyway from cutting way back on software spending all year, and it's Animal Crossing week. For me it's best to hear about new names I can get excited about in the medium term, and that's what I think we'll mostly get.

Mossbag also talked to Ari and William at PAX Australia and said it sounded like it was quite a ways off as well, which is why I've been saying Holiday 2020 at the earliest.
Spot on. People expecting Silksong need to temper their expectations; these presentations have always highlighted new indie games for showcase at events such as GDC/EGX Rezzed/etc. I can't think of the last time a major game saw a repeat apperance in one of these presentations.
it's becuz that direct was specifically for 2019 games, which silksong wasn't.
I'm really hoping for Spelunky 1 (Derek was teasing it on Twitter) and Touhou Luna Nights which was supposed to have a Switch release in late 2019 but got pushed back an undisclosed number of months. Outer Wilds would be great too, though I don't know if that's possible.
I guess that makes sense, but I'm still mad because it feels like they insulted my son
Technically, Silksong hasn't made an appearance yet, so it's still on the table /s
Stanley Parable: Ultimate Deluxe available on the eShop... NOW!!
That's all I want. Please. With everything going on in the world, I need a game that teaches about making responsible choices.

That would be cool.
the last thing we got from that was that weird QA video from december and they've been quiet since then.
Was there anything more to the Spelunky On Switch rumors than Derek Yu's March 5th twitter reply, because that doesn't read like a tease to me, more like a humorous reply to being the center of attention for ravenous fans demanding a port.
yeah, but nintendo really likes supporting team cherry, i don't think that was a snub. they've been putting demo stations for silksongs at their booth in a lot of 2019 events, for example, and it was at their e3 direct.
Yeah I was surprised to see Stanley Parable announced for everything but Switch at one of the Game Awards
Hopefully the dev reconsidered
I don't think it was a tease, but it does seem he's well aware of the demand. Hopefully it happens at some point!
To the best of my knowledge, they never actually announced what systems it was coming out for, so I've just been assuming that Switch would be included.
Would Torchlight 3 be an indie game?
Huh, I remember watching the reveal during the Game Awards and being like, "Wait, no Switch?" for some reason. Also lol at the spiel on the website:
