I swear it feels like 90% of indie games are now targeted towards girls age 15-25.

What a waste of time.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Blade Chimera looks fun. Shantae too obviously. Outer Wilds for Switch is nuts, I wouldn't think it can handle it (even with the severely downgraded visuals, I mean, I loved the game since in its original indie alpha tech demo form ages back aeons before the full remake that was eventually released).

Doesn't help that these showcases tend to focus more on slower paced games. Be it farming sims, turn based card battle whatevers, or titles that's trying to be an "emotional experience" more so than a game proper. That one title with the floating sword felt like an outlier.

The Switch doesn't have a lot of life left in it, and that's ok. Signs of next-gen in 2024 intensifying, we might get one last dribble of games including the Kirby death knell of Nintendo consoles.
Not that it was going to be at this showcase anyway, but I am kind of hoping Silksong will be pushed to Nintendo's next-gen console. Or if there is a physical Switch version at launch, it will run and look better on it.

Probably the worst indie direct.
A few of these have minimal potential like Blade Chimera or Scottish Jumping Sim.

This is where the last 20 million units to beat the PS2 will come from. Expect a price-reduces Switch next year when the Switch2 launches, bundled with Hogwarts and Mario Kart.

Only game worth being excited for IMO in this showcase. Both Touhou Luna Nights and Deedlit Wonder Labyrinth were amazing.

A furry game developed and set in Italy. What a time to be alive.
Call me prejudiced, but when the devs appeared onscreen after the trailer their appearance didn't surprise me one bit.

Imagine spending years working creatively on something you're really proud of and then seeing a comment like this in response to you telling the world about it.
What a waste of time.

Cyperpunk Symphony of the Night has promise. I just hope it isn't short.

Nothing against the devs, but Nintendo should be either waiting until the showcase is packed with more than 1 or 2 interesting titles, packed with uninteresting games (well there's an audience for everything i guess, just not me).
My library on both PC and Switch is basically super indie focused, so don't try to corner me into an indie hater or something,
But a quick look at eshop nowadays and its

This was my exact thought too, lol.
It's too bad, because gameplay-wise it was one of the less generic games in a showcase full of knockoffs, but that fucking furry art style, good lord.

There were two breakout indie titles this year, cocoon and sea of stars, that also came out on Switch.
This showcase had Outer wilds, Something Lana, The Blade Chemeria, and a few more interesting titles that you can even demo before mouthing off. I thought it was very decent, not to mention the indie scene as a whole cooled off a bit.

So? I will own both of them on PC, but was that part of this showcase? Why are you taking this out of the discussion around this very showcase? It's got nothing to do with indie quality games, I know about them and own a ton of them. This didn't have killer games, end of story.
Outer wilds is old news, announced in 2021 and I've played it already.
Blade Chemeria was the best of the showcase...
Is that what passes as a good showcase nowadays? Cmon
After a bazillion farming sims and weeb games in the previous showcases, I'm expecting a bit more than what we saw today for what is likely the last indie showcase of 2023.

Yeah, that was about as poop as expected.
Happy for those that get to play the gotg outer wilds now though.
These are products, they are sold for money, the consumers are allowed to dislike or like a product

Just because you work on something doesn't mean the whole world is legally required to treat you like a special little flower and shower you with praise.

Disliking is fine..but then you would say " not for me" " I don't like this" or "looks like crap".
Saying "it's fucking nothing" is completely dismissing that people actually worked to produce something that some might value.
Having a modicum of empathy with that fact is not a legal requirement and it's not the same as censoring yourself to protect the feelings of vulnerable wilting flowers.
It just makes you a better and wiser human being. I can see that has triggered you- hopefully in a good way.
PS there was nothing for me in that Indie World showcase ...and the Outer Wilds should have been out a few years ago for Switch.

They felt like it was nothing. That is their view and it's a fair view.
What the fuck are you on about, this wasn't a crime scene, there are no victims, what are you blabbing about with empathy, this is a product, they expect you to give them money for their work. Why do they deserve empathy like some sort of victim of some unjust crime
What are you talking about being triggered
We sure that maybe the person with the Nintendo profile picture getting upset that someone criticized the Nintendo indie showcase isn't maybe the triggered one here

Yeah, yeah, buy all this games so nintendo can close the e-shop for current console when the next one ships. Nice strategy.

I have a track record for standing up for the creative process on this forum. Creating something is HARD.
I have no problem with criticism or opinion based on taste or preference.
I have a problem with people dismissing or shitting on the creative process as if it has no intrinsic value and requires no effort.
Usually it's people used to instant gratification and consumption. People who've not created and put their work out there. Ingrates basically.
Not a crime but not a good look for humanity.
Ps Indies means independent studios. It's not Nintendo so God knows what you're on about with me being a triggered Nintendo fan.
Pps If you're going to shit on something for shits and giggles, don't get all worked up when you're called out on it. If you dish it out, then be prepared to take it too..
