Just means a real meaty one is next week
Hype

 

[John Bilbo]

15 minutes of Silksong?

 

[Kacho]

Hopefully some Switch 1 updates in this.

 

[AJUMP23]

Where was the prediction on this. I feel betrayed.

 

[Punished Miku]

They always showcase at least 1 game I want.

 

[Furball]

that switchforce guy maybe correct about 3 phrase direct after all

[nbkicker]

Another one not to watch, but considering it gamescom from the 19th aug then hopefully a proper direct is coming

 

[HYDE]

Ready for release dates on these games:

No Rest For Wicked
Mio Memories in Orbit
Eternal Life of Goldman
Hollow Knight Silksong
Mina the Hollower
Hades II
Bloodstained II

& Maybe some good new surprises.

 

[LordCBH]

This will make the partner direct look less mid as fuck because this will be significantly worse.

 

[Ryu_Joestar]

Silkbros it's showtime

 

[gamer82]

good things come in THREES

YA HA HA!

 

[Uncle Moe]

Mina the Hollower, let's gooooooooo

 

[CartesianMan]

Indies are good but we need proper first party stuff

 

[Hookshot]

Hopefully it has more interesting games than that Partner direct.

 

[HYDE]

I think it will be better than it easily

 

[Mr Hyde]

Oh I'm definitely down for a new round of Indie World. No place greater for indies than Switch.

 

[Stitch]

Hopefully some Switch 1 updates in this.

Yeah, after the huge free No man's sky update and a bunch of free Nintendo updates I was expecting more of them, but after the Switch 2 launch we got nothing.
Maybe Nintendo didn't send out enough devkits

 

[L*][*N*K]

Hype

Not banking on this but god I hope so

 

[Hookshot]

Have they other done a partner, indie and proper direct close together before? I remember a couple of them being weeks apart or combined mini ones, or a pokemon one but never 3 in a few weeks.

 

[Kacho]

I think indie studios were considered low priority for dev kits.

While you're waiting for Mina and Silksong and Hades, definitely go check out Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo. Easily the most slept on indie game right now. Probably the best 2D indie Zelda-like I've ever played.

[Tareskog]

Cool. Looking forward to being disappointed by the total lack of silksong information. By this point I fear that it has lost too much momentum. A lot of the fans of the first one has already died of old age.

 

[Davey Cakes]

UFO 50 is begging for a console release.

I literally just bought on PC despite wanting it for Switch, so I'm sure they'll shadow drop it this week just to spite me.

My sacrifice is your gain.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Cue all the posts about Silksong showing up even though it rarely, if ever happens that an already-announced game would show up here. Especially one as high profile as Hollow Knight.

 

[Banjo64]

Yooka Replayee release please

Well, I already have it on PC with a playtime over 90 hours. I want the rest of the world to experience the greatness!

First Animal Well, now this. The yo-yo is having a Moment™ in game mechanics. Thanks for the recommendation; this looks great.

These indie world tend to be like: Hey, here's check this new Minecraft spin off / mobile game from Bethesda / newest Assasin's Creed mobile runner.

LOL

No, it's 75% cozy games filled with 100% charm and 0% gameplay.

 

[Robb]

Another skip.

 

[spookyfish]

Hmmmm ... that doesn't say "Metroid" or "Prime" or "4" ...

 

[DeafTourette]

Epic birthday present!

 

[blacktout]

I honestly used to enjoy these quite a bit, but the last few have been complete busts. I'm hoping that the Switch 2 will help revitalize the format a bit, but that wasn't the case with the Partner Showcase, so I'm not too optimistic.

Indies have a lot to work with, esp with mouse controls

 

[ADiTAR]

I'm so over Silksong, I do want a Blue Prince announcement.

 

[existensmaximum]

Also Penny's Big Breakaway:

I think the music alone just sold this game to me!

 

[Emedan]

It's a three stage rocket, first the partner showcase, then he indie and next week we get the big guns - a true direct.. (pls)

 

[HYDE]

Any hints to what might show up or potentially get a demo or surprise release date yet?

ffs yes please i've been waiting for PS5 but it would be perfect for Switch 2.

I'm only expecting Hollow Knight 2 and Nordic Ashes

Only laughing because all the "insiders" are rumoring if you are expecting this, to not bother tune in.

They could be right… as the garnered attention this game has might be saved for a general direct in September as Nintendo has historically done.

I'm admittedly out of the loop with the insider meta. Though I guess Hollow Knight being absent makes sense since it's going to be a Gamescom later this month.

I don't follow it a bunch myself just saw a few recently posted rumors. I personally would love for them to be wrong

 

[uncleslappy]

Preparing to be spoken down to by a pandering voice for 30 minutes. Overexplaining farming sims and delivering insufferable puns.

 

[touchfuzzy]

Ready for release dates on these games:


Mina the Hollower

Mina the Hollower, let's gooooooooo

Mina the Hollower has a release date already guys, October 31

It seems like Microsoft probably has an advertising deal with Team Cherry, since Silksong is going to GamePass and keeps popping up at Xbox presentations. Microsoft is going to be at Gamescom to promote their ASUS handheld, so I agree that we may finally see Silksong drop then.
