Hmmm, Rez Infinite on Switch with 4-8 Joycons with HD rumble activated...

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Ehh. Many of these games (at least their PC equivalents) have pretty small file sizes; one could probably get at least half of the ones in the image from the first post and not have run out of built-in storage.

Plus they probably have a little bit of Nintendo's compression black magic in those dev kits.

 

[psyfi]

The idea of playing a bunch of really cool indie games in bed on a lazy Sunday morning may be the thing that has me most excited for the Switch. If they can keep up a strong indie lineup I will probably pick one up.

Seriously, I'll rarely take my Switch out of the house, but the fact that I can play it anywhere in my house is a pretty big selling point. I'll get every multiplat on Switch cause of that alone.

Here's the trailer for Runner3, it looks awesome!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rGggf7Lh6c

The PS3 version of Runner2 was a free game on PS+ a while back and I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. Really looking forward to this new one.

 

[Cerium]

So many games, many coming out soon, with no OTs claimed!

I was hyped for this and the presentation still blew away my expectations.

 

[GDGF]

I'm gonna need an SD card.

 

[CharminUltra]

I've heard this sentiment from 3 different coworkers today (about not pre-ordering a Switch when they had the chance.)

Spoiler

All three massive Stardew Valley fans.

I'm tempted to claim Runner 3 or Steamworld Dig 2 but I've never done an OT before so I don't really know how to start.

You make fancy banners and research everything thoroughly.

Go for it, it's easy! Just provide info, some pretty banners (ask for help if you need to), and maybe some community stuff (like a Nintendo ID list if there's multiplayer), etc.

Give it a shot.

Switch indie console king.Some crackers coming over

Switch the indie console king? That title goes to Vita ;p Switch may come in second if Nintendo puts in an honest effort to attract indie devs.

Thanks! Just claimed Steamworld Dig 2.

You, uh, been paying attention at all?

Regardless, have fun playing all the new releases on your Vita.

 

[A.D. Skinner]

I just need a list of what's exclusive to Switch, any takers?

Exclusives are underlined in the OP.

Didn't expect Runner 3 to be exclusive but I'll definitely be happy to have the system when it launches.

 

[A.D. Skinner]

Exclusives are underlined in the OP.

My bad!

 

[Vanillalite]

Biggest thing about the Switch is the extra horsepower should get it over the hump that the Vita had for some of the more graphically intensive games that had framerate issues compared to in console and PC.

Switch should have enough extra horsepower to alleviate this roadblock.

And support for more modern engines.

 

[Mepsi]

Rogue Trooper was legit a nice surprise. Love that game and cannot wait to play it on Switch.

 

[Kouriozan]

And a cheap devkit, hehe x)

 

[DangerMouse]

Whew!

Guess you haven't. The Vita's upcoming indie list and already existing current catalog of them is massive. And you think it's just going to stop getting new indie releases right now?

Doesn't make this not super cool though that it looks like Switch will hopefully have a good library of them too.

But Stardew Valley will be released on Summer.

Blaster Master Zero is the following week.

Probably buying this day one. Been ages since I played the original, one of my old favs.

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

Surprised to see "Nintendo Switch" trending on my Twitter. Nintendo really knocked it out the park with this presentation and got people really hyped again.

 

[Father_Brain]

What is Away: Journey to the Unexpected? As far as I can tell, it and NBA Playgrounds are the only games here that haven't already been announced or released in any capacity and weren't detailed today.

 

[Akhe]

My poor and empty wallet.

 

[Scrawnton]

Yup

[DangerMouse]

My poor and empty wallet.

Yup.

Actually, what's a wallet? Right now my money is just coming in and going out lol. So many games (and the Switch itself) these couple of months lol.

 

[FrozenCell]

Kingdom: Two Crowns how?

 

[Buggy Loop]

Holy shit, i will have to start making a list of wanted games, so many

Flipping Death & Wargroove stood out the most for my taste in this presentation. There's many more games i want, but these 2 were very nice surprises. Wargroove will deliver a sort of Fire Emblem x Advance wars clone? Yessss yes please. The art style of Flipping death is so awesome.

 

[GinoFelino]

This list is insanely good.

Switch is looking to be the indie machine to beat

 

[psyfi]

Yeah, it's pretty smart of them to generate so much hype right before launch. Get people talking about it.

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

You've convinced me.

Doesn't look like I've convinced Nintendo yet. Here's the response I got from them today:

"Thank you for reaching out to us about developing for the Nintendo Switch. At this time we have not opened up the doors for all developers, but we are still accepting project sheets for the Wii U and the 3Ds. If you have not yet registered your company on the Nintendo Developer Portal site, please do so. We will be updating our home page with upcoming announcements about the Switch and the opportunities to develop for it."

 

[Deleted member 10571]

holy shit, Wargroove looks incredible. Langrisser with a level editor? I'm SO in.

 

[AzureFlame]

Shovel Knight, Blaster Master Zero and Pocket Rumble are mine.

 

[Mpl90]

I don't believe we'll have to wait too long for impressions on some of those games

Moreover, remember the secret game that was in the Switch software trailer back in January, the one with Miis and coloured squares? Well, our guess (Mekuru from Over Fence) was actually correct

http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/02/28/mysterious-nintendo-switch-game-project-mekuru-revealed

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/44199/project-mekuru-announced-for-nintendo-switch

Taking advantage of the the day's Nintendo Indie Showcase event, the reveal video showcased four-player battle mode gameplay on stages composed of tiled flooring and obstacles. Players controlled Miis (Baker confirmed Mii Support for the title), and used a ground-pound move to smash into the floow and flip over closeby tiles to their color instead of that of their opponents. The short video also showcased power-ups, different stage layouts, and how getting caught in the flipped-tile area of an opponent's ground pound would send you flying off the stage.

 

[iCodec]

Wargroove looked amazing, hope it actually comes out sometime this year considering how long it took them to get Starbound finished.

Looks like every game in that list is for 2017 actually.

 

[jwillenn]

Very nice!

 

[mr teaspoon]

Toejam & Earl was all I wanted, and I got it.

 

[Thoraxes]

Well, that was quite better than what my expectations were by a massive longshot.

Coupled with the portability, I love this. It's gonna be awesome to throw down in Towerfall with my coworker on lunch and stuff.

 

[The_Lump]

I should have went with a 256gb sd card...

They're nowhere near worth it at the moment
You're far better off getting 2x decent 128GB cards and just swapping them out.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Guess we'll have to check back in april.

I don't know. Vita isn't seeing most of these. It'll lose it soon enough!

*prays NBA Playgrounds is just NBA Jam rebranded*

 

[ViciousDS]

*prays NBA Playgrounds is just NBA Jam rebranded*

Omg, any game in the style of either NBA jam or NBA street on the switch would be fucking amazing


This list is insane. I've actually never played shovel knight lol. I will check it out in the switch

 

[Cuburt]

Nintendo just knocked it out the park with this Nindie Direct and just rallying up this much great support. Not only are there a lot of great games, but many of the games are just great fits of the system and there are a lot of exclusives. I think Nintendo and many indie devs realize not only the potential of the system but how big it can be for all parties if it's a big hit.

And the best part is that unlike AAA multiplatform games, the development time can be a lot less so many indie games should be able to be pretty easily brought over to the system (if it's as easy to develop for as it sounds) so I expect the announcements to just keep flowing throughout the year.
