​

In a little under an hour from the time of this post, the first Nintendo Indie World Showcase will debut. As the name implies, we'll be seeing some gameplay and reveals of independent titles headed to the Nintendo Switch. Due to a leak, we can tell that Superhot will almost definitively be making an appearance today, with an announcement for a Switch port of the game. If you want to watch live, you can do so when the stream goes live at 9 am ET, or you can stick around to see our live coverage of the event.

Eastward : seems like stardew valley clone (not too unsurprising, since it's from the same company)

Just to clarify.

Stardew valley was created by concerned ape. All chucklefish did was publish it. They aren't even involved anymore now that concerned ape no longer needs their help.

A quick Google search on Eastward, it doesn't look anything like stardew. It looks like a standalone game with a story that starts and ends, as opposed to an open ended farming/life sim.

Eastward is also developed by another company. Again, chucklefish is just the publisher.

End nit-pick.

On topic, I am super excited for Ori. Need to watch this sometime to see if any of these other games interest me. I never played Torchlight so this might be the time to finally give it a try.

Superhot wasn't surprising, there was a recent finding that the devs uploaded the game to the CDN.

Absolutely true. The name sounded familiar, so I quickly googled it. Then wrote it down quickly (it's not like I could tell nintendo to wait up until I had done some proper research ).

Risk of Rain 2: Summer 2019 ???

The game leaves early Acces on PC in Spring 2020.
Has the first post the correct informations? Is the game releasing on the Switch in it's "ealry access" state? (which is, tbh, realy REALY great already).

Could someone who watched the stream clarify this for me?

EDIT: Yes, I will buy it on the Switch, even though I already have the PC Version. Good developers that produce good, quality games get my full support. And I can play it wherever, whenever I want.

 

[Jiehfeng]

Superhot has motion controls confirmed! This is great, they took that golden opportunity! I might buy it as I've enjoyed the game before.

EDIT: nvm... ;-;

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I'll never get why companies show off multi-platform titles. Like when MS or Sony will show a Call of Duty game during their E3 presentations. Big deal.

 

[SpiritofAce]

Yep, that was boring. Roll on the September Direct.

 

[DANTENDO]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I'll never get why companies show off multi-platform titles. Like when MS or Sony will show a Call of Duty game during their E3 presentations. Big deal.

I never get why people post stupid comments - so what Yr saying a multi platform game shouldn't be shown at all

 

[Darksabre72]

told you it was going to be garbage

what games did you want it to show at indie world?

 

[rehevkor]

Some of these games look great. Except I have already played most of them.

 

[phreaksho]

Last week, my buddy told me that ori was coming out soon on the switch. I looked it up and thought he was trying to spread rumor... Yet here it is, crazy..

 

[Josshy0125]

Watched it i dont like none of the games

It's a double negative, guys! SG likes some of them Yay

 

[bell1-1010]

I was hoping for a lone survivor port...
Super hot will do then

 

[Bladexdsl]

what games did you want it to show at indie world?

anything better than this bucket of shite the switch truly is the king of ports!

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Where did I say they shouldn't be shown at all? Not only are you a hypocrite (yes, your own comment is stupid), but you are also injecting things that aren't there. I was about to say nice try though, but it's not even that. Good day.

But you didn't say who should show the games so basically Yr comment reads noone should - so what if both companies show the same game I don't kno what Yr prob is with tht but whatever it is its ridiculous

 

[Enryx25]

Name 5 exclusive indie games released in the last 2 years.
You can't expect Nintendo to announce a lot of completely new Hollow Knight quality exclusive indies.

 

[D34DL1N3R]

But you didn't say who should show the games so basically Yr comment reads noone should - so what if both companies show the same game I don't kno what Yr prob is with tht but whatever it is its ridiculous

Nope. Wrong again. YOU are reading it as "no one should". Who should show the games? Why do I need to state who SHOULD show them when my comment is a very simple OPINION? There are certainly options but I'm purposefully not going to mention any because you're being a demanding, entitled, jerk. It comes down to YOU wanting me to tell you who should - and I don't do well with childish demands or pressure. Want to talk about something ridiculous? Let's start with your grammar, spelling, and capitalization issues.

Enjoy the remainder of your day. I've nothing more to say on the matter to you.
