Nindies Showcase video coming out on 8/28.
- Thread starter MattB
- Start date
UFO 50 is supposed to show up at PAX, and I imagine the nindie showcase will show off some games that will be playable at PAX, so maybe! I'm probably just setting myself up for disappointment though.
new games? nice. i thought it was just going to be noa's version of noe's video.
would that appear in a nindies video?
It's been featured in Nindie presentations before iirc so I hope so!
Yeah and maybe some new footage/info/ since all we have is the announcement trailer and a demo that has been reused at every con since April.
It was literally revealed in a Nindies Presentation. It's considered a Nindie.
Sega Japan said those games were delayed to next month I believe
I'd be super happy with Hyper Light Drifter, or better date for moonlighter
I'd be over the moon for a date for the stardew valley multiplayer update :D
yeah the announcement was like a few hours after i posted that xD
it has shovel knight and he only turns up for indies games i think
more seriously, hope they have some nice suprises in stock - i love it whenever these streams drop something that i had completely no idea about on us
its not about smash being a indie game... but maybe we could have a indie newcomer for smash. (although we already have shovel knight as a assist...)
or maybe.... MAYBE... Travis for smash :P (which could make sense in this nindie context)
(anyway, Suda wanted him in :P)

No. That doesn't make sense either. They're not going to overshadow their indie business partners with Smash in the Nindies Presentation.its not about smash being a indie game... but maybe we could have a indie newcomer for smash. (although we already have shovel knight as a assist...)

in what way is that overshadowing? it would be the tipical announcement after the presentation. and it also serves as promotion for the new "indie" game of travis.
its like assuming that all the games that are in a normal direct are overshadowed by the final seconds of the presentation... its enough that they are being highlighted by their own presentation.
they can perfectly have the usual nindie direct finishing with the travis game and a final smash trailer, and nobody would think that they are overshadowing anything
at worst, many people tend to watch directs specting a smash trailer at the end! so the direct has more audience xd
No. It's not remotely the same as a "typical announcement". We'll disagree.
i can agree in that nindies used to be more "lighthearted" but, IF they are including the new travis game in that lot... and as they even showcased that in the main switch presentation in january, then is not farfetched to think that it will serve as a bridge title between indies and big leagues. in any way, a excuse for this to happen
Of course if there is no mention of the travis game today, then i would agree with you (i didnt expect anything about the last shadowdroped nindie presentation)
But the announcement part makes me hope :P
I would like to see this, purely because LIS1 is one of the only games I managed to play to completion in recent years before picking up the Switch.
During the spring indie showcase, they mainly focused on games that were either unknown or unannounced or unreleased on any platform (and people started criticizing the games for being unknown to them). Don't know if "years old ports" would be relevant in this context of this thread.
The indie showcase is produced by NoA, not by NCL, and very much related to PAX.
I'd explode if La-Mulana 2 is announced for Switch. Probably way too soon considering it just released on the PC, though.
lol what? That game is literally published (if not outright owned) by Square Enix.
I'm gonna put this bluntly: No. And they sure as hell shouldn't.
I'll be surprised if we don't get more shadow drops, and if Wasteland 2 isn't one of them. Inxile was teasing the release last week from their FB and Twitter, and it's scheduled for an August release date.

If performance is fine, im all in. Underrated, IMO.

The Devs said at Gamescom that they want to get the PC release out first then they are going to begin looking at consoles (XBox one, PS4 and Switch) but god i so want this game on my Switch. There is an interview with them on IGN

Man, I am so hype towards TPH. I am going to buy it on PC at release. If they decide to drop it on Switch, I will probably be there too.
In what world is LiS a indie game ? lol
Also there are plenty of great new indie titles on Switch...what a weird narrative, just because that one game isnt coming to Switch. There are a bunch of midtier games that can and should arrive to Switch at some point...but its not like port of old indie game X prevents new titles from happening. DotNoD have their hands full with a bunch of projects right now and they + their publishers dont think expanding to Switch is worth the effort.
It's nice having these presentations to look forward too. We had Nintendo Directs and now we have Nindies Presentations. It keeps most of the year fresh with new news.
Oh, I get it. Would Firewatch be announced as a Nindie? Does it still qualify. Interesting!
First, many people say that the Indie Spotlight by NoE focused on European developers, so it would have made sense to be there. Unless NoA takes the biggest ones for Nindies, even if they are from Europe. I don't know. Firewatch should continue to be seen as an Indie from a historical perspective. But going forward? I don't know.
The difference between Minecraft and Firewatch is that Minecraft is actively developed and changed by Microsoft, rather than just being ported. My view is once and indie, always an indie. But that Minecraft does not count for two reasons. First, it's been completely rebuilt anyway, by Microsoft. Second, it's been actively developed by Microsoft. Neither of which are true of Firewatch.
If I were Nintendo, I would put Firewatch in with the indies. Because it's an accurate reflection of the feel of the game and its history. But either way would make sense to me.
