In today's Nindies Showcase three titles were bundled together to emphasize their support of HD Rumble; one of them is coming rather soon, too. Mr. Shifty - developed by Team Shift and published by tinyBuild - is an intense top-down action game, with the HD Rumble designed to allow you to "feel every punch, shot and crash".
The character can shift through space, as the name suggests, and it looks rather fun. Oddly, this writer can't get Die Hard on the NES out of his head when watching the trailer, albeit Mr. Shifty will likely be a lot better.
It looks pretty tasty and is out in April, so not long to wait.

I just got here when the article was 10 seconds old whatttt
Hard not to get a Hotline Miami vibe from this game with the overhead style and such, but it seems to have more to it overall with the phasing powers and such. Very interesting! I feel like the Switch is off to an infinitely better start with indies than the Wii U ever was!
Oh nice. So many indie games i want, this game looks really fun.
Looks like madness. Out of all the newly announced titles, I found this to be the most interesting
Looks really good, and reminds me of the type of stuff I used to play when I was young, like Gauntlet.
A bit of grimmer aesthetically than I normally go for, but mechanically it looks more novel than some of the more nostalgia-focused offerings. Intrigued.
Definitely looks like Dateline Miami, which I got sick off after a few plays. Not for me.
@MetalKingShield yeah, I see the gauntlet DNA here. Still, I'd have to play this one first before buying it. But like all these games announced today, I'm looking forward to seeing how they play.
So, cel-shaded Hotline Miami with Velocity Ultra-esque teleportation powers?
If this is $20 or less, I'm probably getting it ASAP.
This game looks promising. The title is silly, but I think I'm gonna get over that.
I will likely wait for reviews, but this looks really good at first glance.
This was definitely my favourite from the Nindies show reel.
Family friendly Hotline Miami? Cool.
This game has a beta going on on PC right now if anyone wants to demo it. It's pretty fun, although it runs slow on my older computer.
Day one.
Now this is the kind've raw action I need. Blasting through walls and dispatching suckas with my boomstick will be legit. It looks like Nightcrawler mixed with Gambit.
Could be great. Hope it's great.
Sorry for going off-topic, which obviously brings up the pic detailing my usual shenanigans...
... but I just wanted to fill my banter-buddies @ThanosReXXX, @rjejr and also @ThomasBW84 that I'm back, but I might also comment a bit less frequently than before due to my girlfriend having more or less moved in with me and my parents until a non-specified date. Which is of course awesome, but that might also entail a lesser focus on commenting on my part. Sorry if that proves to be the case!
Not such a fan of top-down view (minus Zelda, of course), but looks nice nonetheless.
@AlexSora89 Fair enough! Welcome back of course, it's been busy while you were away...
@AlexSora89 Welcome back, and congrats on the new roomie.
Oh, you didn't miss much. TW saying things were busy is as objective as John Cena saying Switch is good. (OK, well you might have to catch up for that to make sense, things didn't completely stand still in your absence.)
Huh... looks kinda like Hyper Light Drifter's mechanics...
Reminds me of Loaded and Reloaded on PS1, just without the guns.
Mr. Bampf!
@AlexSora89 Welcome back and obviously you're excused: a woman is always a good reason to be less absorbed with other stuff, especially something as superficial as a gaming website...
No offense, @ThomasBW84...
@ThomasBW84
Just a heads up the developer name is Team Shifty. Cool group of ex-Halfbrick guys based in Brisbane.
Umm yea this looks dope af. Gonna be a good ride
but, wheres Meme Run: Switch Edition thats been rumored
Looks really nice actually:)
Does look fun I must admit
Oh man, I personally think the Vita was the best console to play Hotline Miami on, the mechanics really suited the console + dat screen.
Really high hopes for this to see if it translates well to Switch in the same way
Oh wow okiday this is a must buy! I love everything about it as it reminds me of one of my fave PlayStation game...LOADED... Wants it neow!
@ThanosReXXX
Wow, zing!
@ThomasBW84
I noticed! I was away right in the middle of the switchapalooza, but luckily Milan's Cartoomics is due this weekend, right when the Switch releases... and there's a gaming area in there...
@rjejr
John Cena always makes sense.
I think they should port Hello Neighbour to the Switch instead.
@MetalKingShield With all respect, this does not remind me of Gauntlet. Gauntlet was rediculously fun. Most of the switch launch titles look like Wii Ware. Not that all Wii Ware was bad.

If you are trying to derail everything, why don't you just derail the random story chains thread?

@Fbigabig
Because anyone can derail a forum thread. I derail news articles.
Pfft, I'm a pro.
