The Switch is the hottest console right now for quirky indie games to find their time in the spotlight, and the wave of new releases on the console is coming thick and fast. One indie game of note that’s due out in the near future is that of Transcripted, a unique match three puzzler/shoot ‘em up hybrid that looks a bit like the love child of Nano Assault and Zuma.
Transcripted has been spotted on the eShop for a release of 23rd November in Japan, with a release in other territories soon to follow. Here’s how the developers describe the game:
Transcripted is a mixture of two incredibly addictive and vastly popular casual gaming styles: the dual-stick shooter and the match three puzzle game. In Transcripted players take control of the Nano Probe, a microscopic apparatus used to combat disease. With the aid of a skill tree that improves ship equipment, health, shields and the Nano Probe’s arsenal of upgradeable weapons, players must successfully navigate through hordes of deadly pathogens to destroy the disease’s pseudo-DNA as it twines perilously on its endless path to infection. Along the way players must defeat gigantic boss colonies the pathogen has evolved with the sole purpose of stopping the Nano Probe from completing its mission. Difficulty levels of both puzzle and shooting segments can be adjusted independently to suit every play style, making Transcripted an amazingly replayable experience.

Looks pretty fun, I might buy it once i get an eShop card.
Not for me. It seems neat, but "neat" doesn't cut it with me having so many games already on Switch backed up.
Also to answer the question, my favorite indies on Switch right now are Stardew Valley and Golf Story.
Two become one.
Looks like it could be fun. I wonder if it will have multiplayer..?
I like the look of this.
Me too!
Erm... I like the look of this.
And it's cheap too, on Steam at least. The Switch tax will probably multiply by 3 and add 3, obvs, but even so...
I dug games like Nanoassault and Geometry Wars, so I could be up for this.
I like shoot'em games like this. Need to see more gameplay and then I'll buy it.
Can't lie this looks like a whole lotta fun and right up my alley.
Looks good, but it's not my type of game.
I'll be keeping an eye out for this. Looks fun
