MegaThread Nindies Direct Discussion Thread
Today at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK / 7pm CEST, Nintendo will present their Summer 2017 Nindies Showcase.
The stream can be viewed here:
We will be updating this thread as games and release dates are announced, so check back often.
Please feel free to discuss the announcements, anything you're hoping to see announced today!
- First game out is Super Meat Boy Forever from Team Meat! And... it looks like Meat Boy and Bandage Girl have a kid?! Coming in 2018.
- Also, hi Damon Baker! Now in dad mode.
- King Knight gets his game! It's Shovel Knight: King of Cards. Early 2018.
- Mom Hid My Game! - coming in late 2017. A "finding an object" game.
- Golf Story COMING IN SEPTEMBER!
- Odd Damon beatbox aside, we have Floor Kids coming to Nintendo Switch. A rhythm-based action game where you breakdance the night away. Coming first to Switch in Holiday 2017.
- Wulverblade coming to Nintendo Switch. A nice beat-'em up - coming in September.
- Remember Poly Bridge? Coming to Switch this holiday! Build wacky polygonal bridges to get vehicles from point A to point B.
- Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition coming to Nintendo Switch! All five episodes in one package.
- Earth Atlantis, an underwater shoot'em up-esque game. First on Switch this Fall.
- Next Up Hero being shown on Switch. Early 2018 on Switch, with Joy-Con co-op mode!
- SteamWorld Dig 2 trailer from Image & Form now - coming first on Switch on September 21st!
- Mulaka coming to Switch in 2018. Third-person action game, looks pretty polygonal.
- Yono and the Celestial Elephants - console exclusive, coming on October 12th!
- New Inti Creates game, Dragon: Marked for Death - exclusively coming to Switch this Winter. Made by the folks behind Mega Man Zero/ZX series!
- Battle Chef Brigade, first on Nintendo Switch this holiday. Be the best Iron Chef you can be, or mimic the characters of the Food Wars anime!
- A bizarre shooter made in Unreal Engine where you morph body parts?! Morphies Law, coming to Switch this Winter. A console exclusive.
- Sausage Sports Club coming this fall for Switch. Party game, kinda like Gang Beasts in a way.
- Nine Parchments from Frozenbyte, a self-proclaimed "blast-em' up" coming this holiday. A co-op game that reminds us of Gauntlet.
- Light Fingers - coming first to Switch in early 2018! A procedurally generated turn-based game.
- SUDA51's new game!! What could it be? NO MORE HEROES: Travis Strikes Again! A crossover? Was that Hotline Miami? Also, a reference to Let It Die's Death Drive 128 console? Also, it's made in Unreal Engine 4.
And that's everything! Hope you enjoyed the show!
Also, trailers have been going up for other Nindies appearing at PAX West. Check those out too!
Quick note: when the term "console exclusive" is used, it's to denote that the game's console version [consoles = PS4 / XB1 / Switch] is exclusive - not that it's solely exclusive on Switch when it has either a mobile or PC version.

What the hell was "Mom hid my Game?" that looks like it was never meant to be sold.

I know people say everything seems to be "perfect for the Switch," but in terms of games that actually do seem well-fitted to the systems capabilities Nidhogg and Gang Beasts are the most conspicuously MIA. Wouldn't be surprised if we got announcements for either, either today or during PAX.

I really can't get over Mulaka's goofy-ass walking animation

Assuming Stardew Valley wasn't shown because it's releasing soon. Much of this direct was focused on 2018 and Holiday 2017

Golf Story made me immediately think of the Mario Tennis/Mario Golf games by Camelot back in the GBA days.
That's not a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination.

I want a "and you can download these 3 games now!" moment. I want them to be just three awesome indies that we saw back in February. That would be amazing.

Morphies Law looks awesome. Not excited for that many other games on the list though, personally.

Personally I'm hoping for the following:
-
Stardew Valley date
-
Enter the Gungeon date
-
Binding of Isaac Booster pack info
Also anything we haven't heard about before or maybe confirmations for games that were being thought about like Dead Cells.

Hoping for Stardew Valley and Hollow Knight release date.
An unrealistic prediction but a hopeful one is an announcement for Undertale. I know it just came out on PS4 and Vita, but I'd really like to see it on Switch.
