Stardew Valley, Enter The Gungeon, Runer 3, SteamWorld Dig 2, Hover, and More Indie Games All Confirmed For Switch

Stardew Valley will have Switch exclusive console multiplayer.

Looks like a good lineup of games. Switch truly is an indies machine.

That Nindies Direct was straight murder. I'm going to be broke.

I love it! Give me it all! :O

I'm so happy I could do a dance.

Blaster Master Zero looks amazing. Big fan of the original BM on the NES

Perfect platform to play these types of games!

I didn't watch. Anyone know if Blaster Master is the 3ds version? If so, any comments on tranferring vs rebuying?

@charizard1605:

Thanks for the list. That's a great line-up of games!

@charizard1605: but Char the Switch has no games!

So many good games shown... Maybe i need 2 memory cards. ?

Intrigued by the strategy game, but worried it'll be another bargain bin Fire Emblem like the many that have graced 3DS.

Yeah, these should really move some consoles.

Is it just the video running slow or does the framerate on yooka layee look like ass on switch? :P

"Stardew Valley will have Switch exclusive console multiplayer."

Man.. and I was waiting for the mulitplayer on the PS4 version.. Wonder how much Nintendo paid that single dev for exclusivity.

Pros: Video games

Cons: Fucking eShop

@Blabadon: what's wrong with eshop?

Nindies wow nintendo getting some that aren't on ps4/xb1

It's fucking abysmal to use compared to any of the other storefronts out there and has terrible sales. It doesn't carry over between more than one console/handheld at once, and lord only knows how long Nintendo thought blocks would be a good idea.

It's unreliable for me for things that aren't a strict one-time playthrough, because I do not trust Nintendo at all to carry out a good storefront that successfully translates to a good customer-seller relationship.

Holy crap thats an indie lineup. Sign me up! Ive been having more fun with indie games lately over AAA games

Enter the Gungeon was one of my favourite games on PS4 last year (still play it after the free supply drop update). Looks like Switch is getting some really good indie games!!

Yooka Laylee, Shovel Knight, and Stardew Valley sign me up- as long as they're all physical versions.

The Switch getting indies isn't that surprising. The Wii U managed to get a decent amount of indie support after all. Wasn't expecting to see Bit Trip Runner 3 being Switch exclusive though, or to see timed exclusives.

I enjoyed the previous 2 Runner games so Runner 3 being Switch exclusive just gives me even more incentive to get a Switch.

Stardew Valley on the Switch is day 1. This game was meant for in the go play. I'll have to watch the full direct later.

Shovel Knight is also day 1. I can't wait until Friday.

Yeah but indies on wii u were like a big secret. On switch they're going out of their way to highlight their availability.

@charizard1605:

Does anyone know if the Multiplayer Stardew Valley will be local multiplayer - via split screen OR one would use the TV the other would use the portable screen? If it is, switch would be a no brainer buy for me. Stardew valley is so much fun and enjoying it with buddies with be even better.

@Blabadon: But none of that holds true on Switch anymore?

That 2D Fighter caught my eye.. what was the name of that again?

So many games that caught my interest, especially The Escapist 2 and Steamworld Dig 2.
You know, after seeing all those games, I have the urge to play "Zombies ate my neighbors" boy did I love and hated that game

That's just the beginning. I expect a lot more later on.

Dandara looks sick!

Let me guess. For the low price of 60 euros ?

Pocket Rumble looks like super fun. Definitely inspired by the Neo Geo Pocket fighters such as King of Fighters R-1 and 2.

They said Switch is getting Stardew Valley multiplayer first, not that it's exclusive.

I'm definitely interested in Steamworld Dig 2 and Wargroove as the newly announced games go. And glad to see we're getting Blaster Master Zero less than a week after Japan.

Celeste

Steamworld 2

Blaster Master

RIME

Fast RMX

Shovel Knight

Yooka

Those alone will keep me busy for a while. As if Zelda isn't going to be worth at least 100 hours.

I just hope majority of those Indie titles will get a physical release. Here's hoping for Bloodstain to get a Switch release this year! A Castlevania-esque game is needed for the Switch

War Groove was the surprise showing for me. Totally getting that at launch.

Yooka-Laylee and Stardew Valley are also on my list.

Didn't even know Blaster Master Zero was a thing. The original BM is such a classic.

This happens when nintendo gets serious feels like they really want the switch to get exclusives and lock stuff down

The Celeste game looks INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!! (in hard mode)

So much content! So many good games! My wallet can't take it!

Sure, not really a system seller. But for somebody who already owns a Switch, this, + VC games + portability = gaming paradise.

March 3rd can not get here sooner!

Want

@jg4xchamp: No Wargroove? Figured that'd be your jam

Overcooked on a portable device sounds neat.

All that footage does is remind me that Nintendo won't make real Advance Wars and instead continues to make Waifu emblem. Which would normally be disappointing, but eh, **** it, I'm sure Wargroove will be majestic or something. Video games are art n all.

Yooka-Laylee looks amazing, but damn, it really needs a close release date and a physical version or else I'll be picking it up on PS4.

Apparently it's relatively super easy to port on the Switch, especially with the Unity engine. Its version should release very soon, I guess.

I don't think the physical version will happen tho but who knows.

The Nindies Direct was just perfect, it looked really, really good. I'll probably get most of the games they showed just to play them on the go.

Btw, not sure how but Polygon got lots of footage from Switch indies games, for anyone interested.

Watching the vids made me feel like a kid again.

Now i'm happy i didn't play Stardew on PC

With the power of this machine and portability, indie games is a perfect fit. I honestly do not believe the switch will get much AAA 3rd party support, but having these games in a portable format may be a perfect niche for this console. It makes me want one just for this capability, well that and awesome Nintendo exclusives. ha!

That doesn't mean anything. This kind of games usually even come to Android and iOS. They are always being released on anything that computes.
