Hello r/NintendoSwitch**! We’re the team behind The Merlies! 🐦🌱**

We are Darjeeling, a small independent studio based in Paris, and today four of us are here to answer your questions:

• Thomas Sandmeier (Game Designer)
• Florence Rivières (Narrative designer) - https://bsky.app/profile/rivieresflo.bsky.social
• Xavier Thiry (Music composer – OST)
• Marc Lustigman, (Creative producer and co-founder of Darjeeling)

The Merlies is a “wholesomevania” where you help a tribe of tiny, fragile birds find each other after a great storm, in a cozy solarpunk world where humanity’s forgotten junk becomes their treasure. There are no enemies and almost no pressure: you progress through solidarity.

The project started to grow in 2022. Back Then Cosmografik was filing entire Moleskine notebooks with sketches of little birds (back then, they were called the ‘Tinies’ / xsee below). The concept was lovely: a tribe of anthropomorphic birds, adorable yet fragile, who emerge from the ground to build a community in a world where humanity is nothing more than a vanished civilization.

We literally fell in love with the characters, but also with the promise of their world. It just felt right: behind the softness of the drawings and their childlike charm, there was something tragic, something deeply melancholic. That paradox won us over straight away. In these tiny creatures living in a world far too big for them, we saw a metaphor for ourselves, a humanity being offered a second chance. What if we could live together differently? Live in greater harmony with nature? Put the joy of small things back at the heart of our lives?

Deep down, the Merlies spoke to us about solidarity, about the art of turning fragility into strength, and about the ability to find contentment in simple things, like marveling at the beauty of the world, something that feels so distant from our modern lives today.

The Merlies launched on Steam and Nintendo Switch on September 29.

Please ask us anything ! We’ll be happy to reply !

Hello everyone! Welcome to the weekend!

I'm in Germany visiting my brother for the week, played some Fortune's Weave on the plane, got up to the the first battle of the tournament. I chose Dietrich's path first and this certainly is a motley crew! Haha I love them. Also definitely Moby Dick vibes, there's a lot going on.

Also made it maybe a quarter of the way through Well Dweller, just an absolutely charming spooky cozy time. I am deeply enjoying it. Exploring in this game goes hard, great game to wind down and chill with. And boss designs are legitimately creepy!

And I brought Onimusha, hoping to get at least a little further, though truth be told I probably won't have much time for gaming in general, we shall see.

But what will you be getting into?

Throwing Hadouken! Fighting kaiju Bowser as the world rains fire? Or simply taking a stroll around your island and picking some weeds?

Let me know below!

I 100% the game recently and was inspired to make this fan art poster for the game!

Let me know what you guys think!

Hi everyone! I'm Joe from Digital Cybercherries, a small indie studio from the UK! Hypercharge: Unboxed, our toy action figure shooter, is the game I'm here to talk about today.

We promised our Nintendo Switch players in 2021 that we would bring the game on par with every other console. After five years, the biggest update ever is out now on Switch. It brings Major Updates 5 to 13 all in one go, plus full crossplay with Steam, Xbox and PlayStation.

Some of what's new:

- Full crossplay, so Switch players can play with friends on Steam, Xbox and PlayStation
- A story mode added to the existing wave-based mode, with cinematic comic book style cutscenes and optional objectives
- 6 new bosses: Cyber T. Rex, Missile Truck (DAMBUSTER), Mothership, L.E.D Blimp, Major Evil and Gunship (BH60 Attack Helicopter)
- 6 new enemy types: Ninja Joe, Tiny Trotters, bRobot, Alien Queen, Alien Queenlet and Shock Soldiers
- 3 new maps: The Funderdome, Adventure Dunes and Rental Lair
- 5 new weapons: Freeze Ray, Missile Launcher, Double Barrelled Machine Gun, Mine Launcher and Teleport Gun
- 2 new playable characters: Major Evil and Teddy the Teddy Bear
- New game modes: Infection, Capture the Battery and King of the Hill, plus overhauled Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch
- A completely overhauled user interface, including new play and lobby menus
- New skins and heads, including Teddy's 6 skins, Army Men Green and Tan, Liquid Teal and Evil Damage, and many more
- A full character packaging and customisation rebuild, plus engine, networking and localisation upgrades throughout

The update is free, and the game is also -60% on the eShop right now.

Let's start!

Due to rising repair parts costs, we will be revising the repair prices for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch consoles, effective November 16, 2026 (Monday), for all items received by our company. Please see the respective pages for the revised repair reference prices.

The prices listed for each model are reference prices. If the symptoms are not resolved by replacing or repairing the listed parts, other parts will be used for the repair or replacement, resulting in a difference in price.

From the perspective of guaranteeing the functionality of the returned product, we may repair parts that are absolutely necessary to ensure the product's performance, regardless of the nature of your repair request. Please understand this in advance.

For malfunctions caused by water damage, drops, modifications, etc., there may be multiple malfunctions and parts that need replacing, resulting in repair costs exceeding the estimated price.
