Nintendo Switch Indie World Showcase 17/03/2020
- Thread starter It’s Time To Go
- Start date
I've not played it myself, but lots of people I know have raved about Wingspan in its tabletop form. Could be very tempting to pick it up on Switch.
Lots of big, colorful adventure games.
I guess 3 years being out has lead to this which is great imo. I can't wait yo check out the first 3 things they showed, the good life, the bird watching...thing and the Hello Games one.
Overall a great direct for me!

We're a far way from the Cuphead/Cadence direct...I'm sure a lot of those games will be good but nothing really stood out to me.
I thought that was fine. I mean, personal tastes and all - the last Indie World had Axiom Verge 2 and Sports Story, which I'm super interested in. Like a lot of people, The Last Campfire definitely has my attention, and I'm sure there'll continue to be plenty of quality indies on Switch.
Bit disappointed there's no Cross Code release date yet.

+ Eldest Souls
+ Blue Fire
Everything else in this Indie World was unfortunately meh to me. I really enjoyed the last one and there was like 4-5 games I wanted from the previous Indie World Direct so this sucks, but it is what it is. I hope there was something for everyone in this direct :(

Believe the hype. Wingspan is one of the best and most well designed board games I've ever played. I've got over 100 games and I'd easily put it in the top 5.
I think most of that stuff looked decent. Nothing I'm super hyped for or anything, but a number of games to keep an eye on.
Meh overall. The Last Campfire was the impresser of the show (from Sean Murray/Hello Games of all things). Nice to see The Good Life, PixelJunk Eden 2, and especially Sky coming to Switch.
Biggest letdown was the closer being Exit the Gungeon which already exists and was obviously Switch-bound. Should've closed with a Microsoft game like Ori did last year.

Blue Fire and The Last Campfire caught my interest. A bit weird that they ended on Exit the Gungeon but.... I mean... I'm not going to say no to another Gungeon game.
Blue Fire, The Good Life and The Last Campfire look interesting at least !
That game was revealed some time ago already. I don't think we knew about the Switch version until now though !

biggest waste of my 20 mins in a long long while for me. All the games either looked too artsy with little to take in from them, were card game based (seriously why is this a sudden trend, I'm noticing? STOP), or were on other systems before hand. The big reveal at the end really blew too, since at first I hoped it was some grand scale, cool looking metroidvania, only for it to be another hecking roguelike (we already got a fine one at the start of the month and the eShop is drowning in them as much as they are 2D Pixel platformers).
And while I was like "oh cool this game is launching today, good for fans of that", since I knew Gungeon 1 was big, it's literally a game that was on Apple Arcade for months now so even THAT falls flat as anyone who wanted to play it that badly, would probably have bought it on iOS. Or are still waiting on other systems since it's a switch console exclusive.
Pixeljunk Eden 2 is the big highlight of the show for me, along with Dicey Dungeons but I only knew DD was in the video after it aired since it was in a montage and flew so quickly I thought it was the bird card game they showed off. After last year's showcase revealed Candance and Blaster Master Zero 2, I was hoping for something just as epic to come out of this one but I guess not, since they could have EASILY revealed everything in this video in a twitter thread. Such a shame that even having zero expectations, I end up still bored

Baldo looked really cool! A few other cool looking games there like The Last Campfire, and a few others I can't remember the names of (I'll have to watch again).
They never ever have updates on previously featured games.
You guys should know the drill by now.

I'm glad I watched this without looking at this thread. That was a solid showcase.
Some of you are just miserable

I didn't even know a digital version was happening, let alone a Switch port!
I said the same on one of the last pages. I definitely feel it too.
Y'all complaining probably don't play shmups. There were 3 decent looking ones in there for once.
