Earlier today Nintendo launched its Nindies@Home E3 promotion in North America and Europe; it's a limited-time promotion in which you can download nine free demos and, should you do so, you'll be eligible for a 15% discount on the games when then launch.
There are some exciting titles in the line-up that you can try right now, and Nintendo's published trailers for each game. Check them out below and let us know which you're planning to jump into this week.

Typoman looks utterly intriguing!
Tried them all, it was surely worthy and interesting to play all the demos even if I think I'll buy very few of those games at the end.
Freedom Planet is awesome, it's uncannily Sonic-like, but very fun to play! (Getting released after the digital event maybe? No? Such a shame ;_; )
And of course Soul Axiom is made by Wales Interactive, those guys love the "Keep Memories in pc for when you are dead" theme XD But from the demo I failed to understand if they wanna be creepy like in Master Reboot or if this new game will be less horror...
I'll surely avoid Extreme Exorcist, from the demo it seems great and well done, but in games I always enter rage/panic-mode when enemies start copy my movements, a game focused on that is not for me XD
Overall this was a nice unexpected E3-afternoon I could experience from my room in Italy, Nintendo is starting very well this year!
I'll try them all, it would be rude not to!
Typoman looks sensational
@A01 Woah, I don't know what impression you're getting from Freedom Planet! I heard the game was pretty darn good.
Definitely gonna check out RIVE.
RIVE looks fun. I'll try.
And they said there was no third party support... seriously, Wii U is an indie heaven.
Keep em comin!
Runbow, Rive, Freedom Planet, Mutant Mudds.. those I already know I'm buying.
Forma8, Axiom Verge and Typoman I know little about, but plan to find out soon enough! I'm hearing good things about them so far though... Not sure about that Exorcist or Lovely Planet game, but in the interest of fairness I'm going to give them a try as well. You never know what you might like.
Oh my... That Typoman trailer...
Sorry but, jaw is dropped.
I love that Nintendo is rolling out the demos on these as some indie games are a tough sell for me, with no background to go off of. I'm definitely thinking about taking the plunge on a few.
RIVE, Freedom Planet, and Mutant Mudds, were the best demos. Will definitely be getting those when they release.
Sweet, I will be checking them out soon.
-I love how 'Around the web' has nothing to do with gaming, let's all way Kate Upton and Tracy Morgan get down at a super bowl party!-
I own Freedom Planet on steam and I really have to say that if you guys don't keep your eyes on that one, you're absolutely crazy.
its like a mix between sonic, gunstar heroes, and ristar. If you played any of these games, you'll love this game for sure. I'll be seeing for myself how the wii u one holds up, but they was pretty recent on getting the pc one to 60 fps.
I tried to play the Soul Axiom Demo. Sadly there is no option to invert the thumbstick. So I am unable to play it. How could a basic feature like that be missing? Guess I won't be buying the full game.
Typoman looks really cool. Also interested in RIVE, Lovely Planet, forma.8, and Runbow.
@AmyGrrl
I suppose the good thing about getting these previews out so early and having several months before release date means these issues could be addressed. Why not contact Wales Interactive and let them know what you think and mabey they could add that option. I really enjoyed the preview and I loved Master Reboot so its on the top of my list when it comes out.
@AmyGrrl Hi Amy, unfortunately Nintendo wouldn't let us use save data for the demo, which means we couldn't implement this feature. That feature is indeed included in the full version
@Raptor78 Thanks for your comments! Great to hear you enjoyed the demo Cheers, Wi Team.
Typoman and Soul Axiom look great!
(I originally said "Axiom Verge"; what the...?)
