For those going to PAX, there is usually a free-play library area for Switch/PS4&5/Xbox where you can check out big AAA games.
Wow a lot of interesting games, can't wait to see more of WrestleQuest and 9 Years of Shadow.
I usually go every year as it's right across the street from my house but nothing's really catching my eye this time, I was hoping for a big first party title at least.
Critter Crops looks very similar to Mail Time
Wait, wasn’t 9 Years of Shadows just delayed to 2023? It has an October release date on here.
There’s a fair amount of old games here, but also a lot of games I’m looking forward to trying too. Really curious about Haiku the Robot. Curious if Mineko will end up interesting or not. Can’t wait for Grim Guardians and potentially Shovel Knight Dig. Curious how it compares… also curious why Shovel Knight isn’t in that Dead Cells expansion. I mean, surely that’s a better mascot for the game than the character from Guacamelee?
tinykin is for those hoping for pikmin 4
So many games from the presentation.
This is the Nintendo Direct for you, guys.
Btw, OMG...!
Coral Island ?!
Another indie game from my country Indonesia 🇮🇩 !!! 😄
"No longer human is a high-energy cybergoth action fvck-em-up"
I hadn't heard of this genre before. I had to make sure I was reading it right.
I really like the look of Everdream Valley. Hmm.
Several of these look promising. I'm definitely buying Haiku the Robot next week.
Getting Girard and Arin for the Shovel Knight Dig trailer was the right kind of cringe.
Definitely getting Exophobia!
No Longer Human has an interesting visual style, but it also looks like it might be nigh-unplayable unless you've already taken the red pill and have figured out how to manipulate the laws of physics within the Matrix.
For me, LOUD looks like it's gonna be more playable on a controller with symmetric sticks.
One of the first eShop games I bought was Superbeat Xonic and the asymmetric stick location really messed with the flow.
