Nintendo kicked off PAX with a bang this year, with its Nindies@Night event in Seattle causing plenty of buzz. On the one hand it confirmed leaks and rumours such as the Shovel Knight amiibo and Kerbal Space Program on Wii U. Some new game details were announced on stage, too, including four player co-op and amiibo support for Hive Jump.
As the event wrapped up in Seattle Nintendo also released a whole load of trailers on its YouTube channel. Naturally there was a sizzle reel, which highlights a number of the goodies on the way.
There are also plenty of new trailers - some are most certainly repeats, but there are some that are brand new - FAST Racing NEO is looking particularly exciting.
These trailers provide a welcome reminder that there's a lot of exciting content on the way to the eShop on Wii U and 3DS. Which of these games are you most looking forward to playing?

Man, this is def Ninty's best Indie line up, like, ever! Excited for some 50% of these!!
Prepare the wallets. We are getting attacked by Indies.
Good, good. Need to get more games onto Nintendo platforms.
Ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh my first time actually watching a video for F-(ast-racing ne) 0. So pretty!
Am I the only one who despises the word 'Nindies'? Usually I try not to hate things, but for some unknown reason that word really bugs me.
Still, some good games here, especially Steamworld and Shantae.
There's been so few releases on 3DS that I'll take anything right now... Saying that, Steamworld does look nice.
I don't know if I can be excitied for Indie games anymore, they either have delay upon delay (Freedom Planet) and still don't come out or come out and get patched several times (Elliot Quest) and still have game breaking glitches.
14 2d platformers....yay...
14 2d platformers....yay...
At this point, why do I even have a wallet?
that kerbal trailer was just epic!
That sizzle reel was pretty sexy. Of course II'm most looking forward to Shantae, Shovel Knight, FAST Racing Neo, and RIVE.
We still need more 3DS games I still feel Nintendo are not supporting the 3DS like they should be not just new games but retro gaming like the GBA,SNES. Sega are keep me happy with my 3DS with thier 3D classics they do not even have to make the games 3D I would play them the way the where back in the day. When you look at the Sega games and games like Iron Fall this shows want the 3DS can do
Keep forgetting about RIVE and I loved the demo. Runbow. Of course Plague Knight is just automatic. Hive Jump looks super tasty. Not enough time for all this, actually.
I should point out that Fast Racing Neo will have up to 8 player online multiplayer as well as up to 4 player splitscreen local multiplayer (and yes, it runs at 60 fps with the splitscreen).
@EverythingAmiibo You've got the YouTube channel right? I've been watching your Splatoon vids. Great content.
@TomKnows Thanks man, I really appreciate that
Wayforward is 25 years old and Shantae is 13. I think they can stop calling themselves "indie" now.
Wow count me in for Hive Jump, Oddworld, Steam World Heist, Shovel Knight, FR Neo, A Year Walk, Binding of Isaac (if it is UK bound) and maybe Shantae.
Holy moly... That's a brain shattering lineup. Not ONE game on that list looked anything less than stellar. A few of them definitely aren't for me personally but they still look like quality games nonetheless and I'm sure will satisfy fans of their particular genres.
I need:
Fast Racing Neo
Shantae Half Genie Hero
Kerbal Space Program
Runbow (that trailer blew the lid off)
Shovel Knight
Mutant Mudds
Tumblestone
Hive Jump
Typoman
Freedom Planet
Rive
And fairly interested in:
Starwal
Action Henk
Oddworld
I think its stupid that Nintendo calls the indies that support them "Nindies". Most of the games they offer aren't Nintendo-exclusive, and they are always overpriced on Nintendo systems!
