Nindies Summer Showcase coming 8/30 [Over]

Backed that version; no sale beats Free! That said, man alive have they sinned from horrible timing. The game isn't gonna grab much attention in a post-Oddyssey world.

Something tells me we will see a lot of the game on the Switch news feeds or eShop deals when we wake up our Switches from Sleep. The game doesn't need to sell millions like a Mario. That was never its purpose, when the dev decided to make a Switch port.

Edit: 30 minutes to go.

Oh shit I've been so busy thinking about Mario + Rabbids at work all day that I forgot this was happening. Hell yes.
 
I love this constant flow of information we're getting from Nintendo. We had Gamescom last week. The Mario + Rabbids released. Then the showcase today and another Indie live event at PAX West Thursday night

True but I miss actual Nintendo Directs.

Its even sadder that they upgraded the format for them yet we haven't seen more of them.

I know I love the April Direct format and that's the only one we've had. We gotta be getting a general Direct in September I feel like.

Oh I wasn't speaking financially, albeit that will be a consequence of arriving so late to the party. More like, there will be much more to choose for Switch owners by the time this releases, Mario included, that combined with its lukewarm reviews and heavy discounts on other platforms, it's lost a ton of the impact it initially had. I know, the devkits weren't there, Team17 probably forced that April release date when it could have used more months in the oven...It's what it is though.
 
Kingdom: New Lands, previously announced in the last Showcase, just got its release date listed on the eShop (September 14th), it may be the first leak of tonight's showcase.

Actually Kingdom: Two Crowns is the one that was previously announced. This is another release.

Getting hyped now. Hoping to get some good new game reveals and a Hollow Knight release date for this year
so I can play it before the GOTY thread
. Got the Steamworld Dig 2 OT ready to go just in case that turns out to be an "available NOW!" announcement. All is well.

I hope this is just 15 minutes of "bam bam bam games" like the first one.

It'd be so weird if they Switched up the format after all the praise specifically directed towards the pacing of their last Nindies event.

Yeah that Nindies Showcase was about as perfect as you could get in terms of layout and delivery. There's no reason to change that.
 
Uh, that's weird since they both seems to be the same game.

Kingdom was the original, then new lands was a free upgrade that was basically that game with more features and mechanics, and from the quick trailer for two crowns, its basically new lands but with co op and probably a few more things.

It's been a weird release. I wonder if two crowns is also a free upgrade so i'll then have 3 versions of the "same" game on steam
