Surprise!
Sounds like when they put English words to a J rock song in an anime dub.

Nintendo Switch Indie Highlights Presentation - 20.08.2018
- Thread starter FelipeMGM
- Start date
Well, just checked.
A Nindies showcase is almost ALWAYS followed by a "real" Nintendo Direct.
September Direct (might be) incoming folks.

Yeah, I and I recalled Terraria's sequel was cancelled around that time, so a lot of efforts were shifted back to porting. I think...

Apparently these release dates are all international.

That was a good showing
A couple of things I am in for, Children of Morta looked like it was my cup of tea as well.

Wait, you decided before watching the Direct that you knew you weren't going to like the Direct?
That's special.
"Nindies" is an NoA thing. There's been a Nindies showcase for the past two years at PAX West and there's no reason to believe there won't be another one this year. Especially since the majority of games at this presentation were already announced, either for Switch or other platforms. NoA's Nindies showcases tend to reveal many previously unknown games.
Edit - and Damon Baker's tweet essentially confirms it.
They are teasing it hard.
Wargroove, Undertale and Travis are general Direct worthy (Towerfall too?). Expecting something this week would make sense.

Someone at Nintendo should give Damon a raise. The guy is a legend.
Sure, I get why it's priced that much. But as a game I've already sunk dozens of hours into on the PC I can't really justify re-buying it at full price on Switch again (that said, it's pay day next week and it's entirely possible I'll break and just buy it anyway!)
You just admit Morphie's Law is fun. :/
Just take 1 step out, and you'll be fine.
Don't worry, I've also have PC edition, but I have never seen insanity ward DLC on PC though. I've also never seen the PC edition's Escape Mode to be fleshed out like the one shown in the Nindies video.
- Gardens Between looks very interesting: it's like Captain Toad but with a more realistic art style and maybe co-op?
- Prison Architect is very cool, though a bit pricey.
- I've heard good things about Windjammers so i could try it.
First impressions: it's cool that they made a direct for us Europeans with a british commentator, i like this format, but no words on exclusivity for all these indies (is it no longer a thing?), and no words on the big indies previously announced like Shovel Knight or Travis Strikes Again.

Good point! This Direct basically replaced the "Nindie reel" they did last year at Gamescom.
So many games in this presentation I want to buy, great stuff
Streets of Rogue looks like a ton of fun and Night Call looked really interesting.

I'd think it's more likely a tease for Gamescom. It starts tomorrow and there will surely be plenty of new announcements and trailers throughout.
Quite a few interesting titles but I can't believe they're releasing Terraria in 2019 (not like I'm going to buy it again, is too much time investment).
If they rebalance things with patches I think it would be a very strong choice to pick up. The graphics are wonderful, the music is great, the gameplay is fun, and the shopkeeping is a nice break from the action. But until then, yeah, it's a pass or maybe a purchase at $10.
Is any of else sick of rouguelikes and random/procedurally generated content?
I'm sure it makes the production of the game easier, but damn I'll take a shorter game with some intentional design any day.

Ding ding ding, let's see what pops up at 10am EST...my money is on a North American showcase.
This video was also narrated by a lady with a European accent, and I don't believe Nintendo has done region-specific voiceover before on a video like this (may be wrong).
Monster Boy
Morphies Law
Moonlighter
Slay the Spire
Prison Architect
Terraria
A large number of games there that I'm interested in. Switch really has become the indie game platform of choice for me.

I don't really need typical 3rd party games on the system because of how many options there are with Indies. There will never be a drought on this system because of them.
I think they said that indie stuff was coming soon. They probably meant their coverage of the convention going on in Europe. Not another Indie video from Nintendo, and not a general Direct.
Yeah. I hadn't heard of this game. Sounds kind of neat. I do like simulation games, but I can only play one every few years. The bland 8-bit graphics kind of put me off this one. But having just finished Orange is the New Black, being interested in trying those Escapist games and liking sims, I'm tempted.
But I'm waiting to see how Rollercoaster Tycoon Adventures (Switch exclusive) reviews. It looks like it's slightly simplified RCT game, with upgraded graphics from the strong Rollercoaster Tycoon Touch game. I dislike free to play mechanics of tapping to collect money and that nonsense. I enjoyed Sim Theme Park and am hoping for a fun time with this game.
Bad North!
I've been waiting for this game since it was on a Nindies Direct way back when. Early this year? I forget when I first saw it.
Wow! It stills says coming, but it says buy now! But I just started Masters of Anima (Pikmin-like troop management and puzzle game). So I will have to wait it out a bit.
I'm so excited to see other people as excited as me for this game. I've been following the scant details of it since a Nindies Direct way back when. I didn't know people didn't know it was coming to the Switch.
What context should I get from that? Is that good? Bad?
Hoping prison architect isn't just a mobile port.
Ughhh why slay the spire. I don't wanna double dip.

This ain't a Nindies Showcase. This is from Nintendo of Europe.
E3 Direct is one of many Directs.
I almost feel like the one they did in March was more exciting than what they showed at E3.
