@Dogorilla Several games were ports, including Mark of the Ninja, Lumines, and all of the Banner Saga games.

Hyper Light Drifter is one of the best games of 2016. One of my favourite indie games.

@Ralizah Oh, never mind then. I do think most of the games in the presentation look great though, I wasn't disappointed by it (other than its length)

Wow, seems like we're getting most of the major GameMaker games announced pretty quick. HLD, Undertale, Rivals of Aether, Crashlands... The only ones I can think of that haven't been announced are Spelunky, Hotline Miami and Gunpoint, both of which I'd love to see. I seem to remember the Spelunky creator mentioning they wanted to get something on the Switch so....

Hotline Miami is coming to Switch? Sweet. I loved that game on my (now sold) Vita.

You raise our hopes, only to crush them under the heel of your boot.

Honestly, unless the devs have some weird grudge against Nintendo, the Hotline Miami games seem like an inevitability at this point. Pretty much every indie that's not platform-exclusive seems to be coming to the Switch.

@Ralizah Hotline Miami is in my top ten games of all time. The combination of the soundtrack and the incredibly challenging but additive gameplay keeps me coming back for more, time and time again.

I put over 80 hours into the game across both the PS Vita and PlayStation 4, and it slightly scares me just how much time I would put into the game if a Switch version was announced...

As someone who has never been able to enjoy or get into Tetris at all, can anyone convince me I'd like Lumines, cos it looks pretty similar.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

@Peek-a-boo They're OK. The games are at their best when they're letting you tackle big, baddie filled levels in whatever manner you see fit. They're less fun when you're stealthing around (the hospital level in the first one especially sucks) or the game is throwing frustrating and borderline unfair boss fights at you.

I didn't feel like the second one was a very compelling evolution on the first game. If anything, it was a downgrade, considering they made it harder to maintain combo chains, removed the ability to instantly kill enemies when unnoticed AND the ability to use an enemy as a human shield. In exchange, they added in a borderline useless gimmick where you could dual wield weapons and shoot in opposing directions.

Also, I found the games uncomfortable to play on PS4 and PC, for some reason. The Vita versions, crucially, made the lock-on mechanic much less finicky, so they're my go-to versions of those games.

With that said, I do think they'd make a good addition to the Switch's library.

Sounds like a job for @Meppi64 ?

@Spoony_Tech He said that with Smash 4 too. Just means his answer hasn't changed, which is great!
