Following up their Nindies Showcase earlier this week, Nintendo has taken to GDC 2019 to talk about indie games on the Switch. There, they divulged the top ten independent titles that have sold the most on the platform. Though many of these games come as no surprise to most Switch owners, you can see the full list below, which is not listed in any specific order.

• Stardew Valley
• Hollow Knight
• Overcooked 2
• Undertale
• Dead Cells
• Enter the Gungeon
• Graceful Explosion Machine
• Celeste
• Golf Story
• Overcooked

This year's list sees last year's entries like Shovel Knight, Fast RMX, and SteamWorld Dig 2 be dethroned by newcomers such as Dead Cells, Overcooked 2, and Celeste. No exact numbers were provided, though we do know that Yacht Club Games reported Switch sales for Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove to be at around 350,000 copies sold, meaning all of the above games have surpassed that.

Celeste is a really nice game.

Oh boy, more Steam PORTS...

No Sonic Mania or Blaster Master Zero? For shame

I would assume Sonic Mania is technically not an indie game, since it's published by Sega.

Oh boy, more Steam PORTS...

There's clearly demand for them, given these numbers, and having more good games available never hurt anyone. In some cases like Stardew Valley the Switch being portable makes it worthwhile even if they already own or played the Steam version to many people.
