I want hotline mami
Having just finished Mr. Shifty (awesome game) - I'd be SUPER down for it.
Lol guys your will of critic my posts is really powerful
He was saying that he heard rumors about an incoming Nintendo Direct
We recently discussed about a possible Nintendo third party Direct incoming in MC threads, in the Ubisoft thread and in the Telltale thread
They actually announce a third party focused direct but it's not a "big publisher" one and instead an indie one
I love indie games, I was just saying that what we anticipated was right but probably big publisher games support is still too thin for a dedicated direct while the indie scene clearly embraced the console earlier and with a more consistent bunch of products, enough for a dedicated direct
As usual you are jumping to conclusions in order to support your dooooom narrative.
Check back in a few weeks

Curling up on the couch with Hotline Miami. I never realized how much I'd want this until now.

All I want is solid dates. There are too many Indies I want but I need dates because for some the wait is killing me!

Im guessing we will see Yooka-Laylee, Stardew Valley, Rocket League release dates, etc. Really hoping for a real Direct soon. Do we still not know the November/December Switch games? Ones Xeno I believe.

As far as I can tell, I don't think Nintendo would try and make a Nintendo direct solely to promote larger third party offerings even if they had a lot of them, especially when those publishers would probably want to control the message themselves. This is opposed to this sort of Nindie Showcase where an indie title has everything to gain from being presented by Nintendo themselves.
If anything, larger third party would be part of an overall platform direct and not one specific to third party publishers.
Anyways something something doomed, my will to critique or whatever.

Pls give stardew date
Actually I expected such Showcase happening quite earlier (July). Good to hear that it's coming now. I expect some nice new announcements and surprises. Nothing big. Just bunch of Indie stuff.
Let's look what exclusive stuff Switch will get. They might probably talk about the Fast Racing RMX update, right?

Rive
Owlboy
Steam world dig 2
Runner 3
9 parchments

Are Battle chaser and Sine mora considered indie? I would love dates for those two too

are people still interested in Yokaa-Laylee?
not a troll but it seems like everybody played it on another platform and moved on.

I am. It looks fun, and it's received plenty of updates since it was released so I'm hopeful its biggest technical deficiencies have been improved upon. I backed it, and asked for a Switch code, so I'm very much still waiting to play it.
I don't think that's the case. They don't promote indies during Nintendo Direct anymore, it seems they instead prefer to do dedicated showcases. We've seen a lot of evidences that there are 3rd party games that need to be announced soon, so my guess is that there's a global Nintendo Direct coming this September.
I'd be surprised if we didn't get info on all of those. Maybe not all during the Direct, but in press release drops soon after. We got an update on Rive not too long ago and that release would be soon-ish.
Three wishes:
- Dead Cells
- Stardew Valley release date
- New stuff in general
Seems like a good enough game to get on sale eventually.

I mean, I backed it and picked Wii U, which became a Switch version, and now almost 5 months after release on everything else we've still only seen two off-screen screenshots of YL on Switch. Pretty frustrating at this point, and I've lost all hype about it too. I bet it doesn't even come out before Odyssey. They had a chance to be the main choice for 3D platformer on Switch for months all by themselves.

All the hype for what?

It will be upsetting if all it is is dates for the stuff they revealed during the last one like six months ago. I was a few last minute 2017 surprises.

Runbow, Starwhal, Chompy Chomp Chomp Party, Toto Temple Deluxe, Pictoparty, all need to come to Switch from Wii U for some more multiplayer fun

Ooh I loved the first one. I hope we get more info on that "Medieval Advance Wars" game
And Tumblestone!!!
Wargroove has been delayed to 2018. There are plenty of content that's more relevant right now.
)Runbow would just be crushed from competition. It wouldn't even have color master.
13am should focus on a sequel. Ports have not gotten them any attention whatsoever.
The issue with Hotline Miami is that, like a lot of games, it's developped with Game Maker and that engine isn't compatible with Switch yet.
That is a really good point about big publisher want to control the message
We had hints indeed. Let's hope you are right!
It has been a long run since Rive announcement... I really hope it can come soon enough and deliver!

If Klei drops a stealth Don't Starve Megapack release (seeing as it's out on PS4 and Xbox One in 2 weeks) then I'll quadruple dip without thinking twice.
Don't Starve Together plus the main game and Shipwrecked - perfect travel games.
Feed me, Klei. Feed me.

Mark of the Ninja, if we're hoping for stealth announcements.
Would LOVE to play that again on the Switch.

I would love for new simulation games like a SimCity or Parkitect or Game Dev Story type of title.

I think it's a MS studios game, right? But they won't even make it BC for Xbone, never mind port it to other systems. Luckily it's on PC too.

It's pretty awesome! Trust me I have a Vita lol.
OT I can't wait to see what indies come to switch. I really want some sort of stealth game or tower defense game.
Is there any chance a game like Divinity could land on Switch?
Edit: YES! mark of the ninja would be awesome! (Mentioned above)
