Indie developer and publisher tinyBuild has announced that they will be revealing a whopping six games coming soon to the Nintendo Switch in a live stream tomorrow.
The publisher, which already has the existing Switch titles Phantom Trigger and Mr. Shifty under its belt, will be hosting the live stream under the name '#HelloSwitch' on the studio's YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook accounts. You can check out the announcement tweet below.
It all kicks off at 10am PST / 1pm EST (and therefore 6pm UK / 7pm CET) on Saturday 10th February and, just to hammer home the fact that the Switch is of utmost importance, the studio has already told us that even more titles will be announced later in the year so there is sure to be something for everyone.
Will you be tuning in? Why not take a look at this list of the studio's titles and let us know which games you'd like to see announced for the Switch?

6! amazing! keep them coming!
Hello Neighbor is pretty much a given, I'd bet on Party Hard 2 - Streets of Rogue - Clustertruck - Speedrunners and No Time To Explain to be the rest.
Wow six games, what an amazing achievement. Who would have thought a studio would have six titles in development. THATS AMAZING! If a studio beat that and had 7 games in develop, I guess the world would explode. I mean SIX GAMES THATS OUTSTANDING!
Yeah, Hello Neighbor is nailed on. I’m pretty sure that Party Hard, Punch Club and Speedrunners will also make up part of the six. That leaves two..
Their games aren't great and they're kind of basic looking. Also, remember this story.

I'd rather have 1 great game than 6 mediocre games. They should make sure not to spread themselves too thin. Afterall they are "tiny".
The only ones of their games I even know are The Last Station and Punch Club. Personally, I don't really "need" either of these on the Switch, as I've certainly not interes to double-dip on either one, but they are solid games in their own right, and there is definitely worse by now on the e-shop than those two titles.
I wanna see Lovely Planet and Lovely Planet Arcade! While I have them already on PC and can play them in 4K, I'd gladly go down to 720p (1080p docked) to be able to enjoy those charming masterpieces on the go!
There are a number of other games on the list that look interesting, but those are the ones I really want!
Now, I see Lovely Planet on the list, but not Lovely Planet Arcade. Was that one developed by someone else? It's been long enough since I played that I might not be remembering the developer logo screens right.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Always negative.
Squeek...!
Nintendo Squeaky Toy ??
@Cosats Honestly @SLIGEACH_EIRE has a point there. Several of their games are plagued with performance issues (as they pointed out on Mr. Shifty, the port was horribly optimized) and frustrating design, ala Hello Neighbor. If you like watching YouTubers, Markiplier has done 8 parts of the alpha and beta of Hello Neighbor, and you can literally watch the game getting worse as it gets closer to being finished. From what I've seen of the full release, it's just as clunky (if not moreso) than from when it started.
It's not to say that people won't enjoy their games, it's moreso to say that the company doesn't have the best track record with their releases.
I'd like to give Punch Club another go if they actually did a good job of porting it. I had to stop playing the 3DS version because it was too buggy and broken, sadly.
Didn't these guys make Hello Neighbor? It seems interesting, even if it is bugged down, so if that's ported, I'll pick it up in a sale.
Streets of rouge and clustertruck i would love to see on the switch
Keep in mind, folks, Tiny Build is both a developer and publisher (that statement hits you in the face when you go to their website, http://tinybuild.com ). Performance issues, like with Mr. Shifty, and general wonkyness, like with Hello Neighbor, will lie on the shoulders of their individual devs (like Team Shifty and Dynamic Pixel, respectively, in my examples).
That said, I'd probably be good with There's No Time To Explain, Clustertruck, Party Hard, and Streets of Rouge.
played shifty on steam, great game indeed.
but 6 games for a small indie dev? sounds a bit off.
Streets of Rogue pls
I can see Party Hard and The Final Station fitting nicely in my Switch. SpeedRunners, also.
@Cosats the mods a long long time ago hacked a valued members profile to change his avatar before banning him and others. I wish they’d do the same to EIRE but change it to NegativeNancyEIRE.
He must suck the life out of everything.
Wife “Look at our beautiful daughter”
EIRE “Shame she’ll die one day”
I reckon that’ll happen frequently, lol.
I will gladly buy Streets of Rogue again to play on the Switch. The game is fantastic.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I agree. Not a single game on that list interests me. That's fine though. Time is limited.
Ha!— some friends of mine made the game Spoiler Alert. Never thought it might see the light of day on Switch. Didn’t even know they had a publisher actually...
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
They're an indie publisher, and I don't think they are themselves in charge of porting the games. So any issues in performance hasn't much to do with TinyBuild as such. Of course, they COULD decide not to publish something that doesn't perform well yet.
@RobotReptile
You know Martin and Jeff? They're mighty cool dudes. Seems nothing is confirmed yet, though, but I'd totally pick up Spoiler Alert a second time for a few dollars.
Yep. Martin at least. And I know you too fancy lad! 😛 @Pod
Streets of Rogue could be cool. I think Graveyard Keeper could be interesting, too.
@RETRO_J They're talking about a sequel to Live A Live that doesn't exist, shhhhhh
reads the title of the news
What's "live a stream"?
Seriously. This has been getting out of hands...for weeks already.
NIS has a stream later tonight. Will we be able to watch it on NLife?
tinyBuild have been assigned to publish Yandere Simulator in the future. I wonder...
Mind you these guys are publishers not game devs sometimes anyway.
But that doesn't excuse that the quality they treat to the devs they publish is not acceptable
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
TinyBuild served as publisher for those, not as a developer. The only game they developed internally is No Time To Explain (which is a pretty bad game admittedly). I also think that they've collected quite a fes pretty decent games over the past years. Not all of them are great, but there's some good stuff there.
That being said, the concerns over the ports are valid. Not that I care, I've already played the ones I care about on PC.
I watched their show. Just as I expected, terrible.

Hello Neighbor is a nice add. My kids are playing a lot of it on Xbox One atm. Very clever concept. https://www.amazon.com/Hello-Neighbor-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B079P7T594/ref=pd_sim_63_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B079P7T594&pd_rd_r=Q7QS1BDNSJ1N0XPSNN08&pd_rd_w=96JQc&pd_rd_wg=Fjcgh&psc=1&refRID=Q7QS1BDNSJ1N0XPSNN08
