Nice, here's hoping for something like Cuphead DLC news.
I'm sure loads of people are going to mention Silksong though.
Ooooooh, I'm excited for this!
I haven't been downloading too many eShop games lately so definitely due for some new, exciting indie games. Always love these presentations so looking forward to seeing what shows up.
Hopefully we will get a date for Silksong
So it will be tomorrow 14 April 2021 at 11 pm in my place.
Ah... ah... Ahxiom Verge?!?!
(Actually, there's quite a crop awaiting us, with Hollow Knight and more on the docket. But we may not see them tomorrow.)
I play a lot of indie games but these honestly rarely have anything I’d play. Hopefully there’s some Silksong news.
Hoping for Cuphead DLC.
Silk song will definitely make an appearance this time
applies clown makeup
Hopefully, we'll hear about Omori. Read that it'll come to the Switch eventually, so I hope this will finally be the time they give us a date or something.
YES! I can't for more smash bros news! Hoping they announce the release date for Metroid Prime 4 as well!
@nessisonett I'm the opposite, I always think most of the games in these showcases look really cool but then I never get round to any of them.
Samurai Gunn 2 news would be awesome
I hope news for the Katana Zero DLC.
I'll actually be a little disappointed when Silksong eventually does show up in one of these as I quite enjoy the ritual of everyone asking for it only for it to never be mentioned at all.
Hmmm!! maybe boring or maybe superb, just hope there is something for everyone.
Gonna have to catch the news after the fact. Stuck in the middle of my work day as usual.
Finally!!! Nindies are my jam! So pumped.
Very hard to get excited about 'indie' games when Switch is awash with them.
Surprise Axiom Verge 2 release after the presentation?!
YES! Excited to see what's in store, still got Hollow Knight to play so eyeing out for some sneaky gems.
Stanley Parable?
Fall Guys?
Indie Pogo?
Rhythm Doctor?
I’m super hyped for this already.
Some Mighty Goose info would be cool, Silk Song of course and I’d like to see a little more Smelter.
@Jamie_R The trick is to get excited about GOOD indie games, which is about 10% of the ones on the switch.
I just keep an eye out for 1 good game in the bunch
Silk song would be all I'm looking for!
Hades dlc perhaps???
Fingers crossed for Silksong and Eastward
I'm sure this will reveal the release date for Axiom Verge 2. Since the developer said it would be released this spring. Which is... now, right?
Dunno, haven't been out much last year.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52cISRlXKp4
I hope we get news on Silksong, even if I don't care about it much at all.
The last full Direct was kind of dissappointing for me as I had huge expectations and was hoping for more Zelda 35 love. With the Indie World I never know what to expect other than Silksong, so they are usually very pleasing. Love these news
This and a resident evil showcase in same week... And I'm on annual leave! Beer will be drank and games will be put into my backlog.
Come on, I want to see Silksong, Baldo, Axiom Verge 2, Sports Story and Hazelnut Bastille. Am I asking for too much? XD
@Vortexeo Maybe Metroid Prime 4 needs another kickstarter, so you might be right about it being an indie at this point .
yesyesyesyesyesyes. I love these so much ^^
I need Cuphead, Silksong and Shovel Knight Dig news.
Baldo news time?
I've been thinking some upcoming games on eshop look like indie direct type games.
Hollow Knight:SILKSONG
Cuphead:DELICIOUS LAST COURSE
ELDEST SOULS
AXIOM VERGE 2
Honestly, most of my anticipated Switch games are indies, other than BotW2 and Prime 4.
Can't really say that I'm interested in this. I watched past ones, and stopped tuning in, mainly because most of the games were unremarkable.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a Spelunky/Spelunky 2 shadow drop. 🤞🏻
Welp there goes more of my money. Perhaps I shouldn’t have invested my stimmy?
Maybe Platinum will finally announce a Kickstarter for Bayonetta 3. If you still want it, you have to give them money.
CUPHEAD DLC PLZ
These Indie Worlds almost never reveal something that has been revealed before. Axiom Verge 2, Silksong etc are not that likely to get shown, I’d guess. Happy to be proved wrong, though.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see something like Loop Hero, but often these are full of things I’ve never even heard of before.
Idk what will be on there. I hope for some indie horror games though
Genshin Impact release date time?
I have enjoyed the Indie circuit on the eShop so I am looking forward to seeing what else there could be coming up.
@the_beaver Amen! Sports Story!
Predictions done right (i.e not just guessing which leaks are real or not!)
There. Lets see how many I get right hahaha.
So imagine an untitled goose game sequel called untitled twoose game
@GrailUK With the cooking genre in full swing, you may not be wrong about Food Fight.
Grounded is coming to Switch and it will be shown off tomorrow. Lol
I hope Freedom Planet 2 is featured! Been ages since we've heard about that one.
Granted, I know Mario Golf is coming but I'd gladly would like to see Clap Hanz Golf ported over from Apple Arcade over to the Switch.
Why does everyone just want updates on games we already know about? I want newly announced games that no one knows about.
Wallet check, Hype check, Readynes Check. Lets do this.
@RupeeClock cuphead lets go baby!
@Tandy255 I can't take credit for it. It was the tea at the bottom of my cup. They also told me a badger would be climbing a ladder, but by then I thought they were just making it up as they went along
Hopefully, Silksong is going to be here this time or I'll start to believe the game doesn't exist anymore.
@WoomyNNYes is that an indie game?
Looked it up and I saw that it is apparently
I actually didn't know that. Hopefully we get Genshin news
I’d quite like to hear something about Shovel Knight Dig which was announced a while back
Also an update on Sports Story
@GhostGeneration my man! I'm also hoping for maybe a Monster Train, Loop Hero, or Trial by Fire reveal.
My money is on a "you can download this title today after this presentation" announcement for Axiom Verge 2.
An announcement that Chucklefish is working on a sequel to Wargroove would be amazing. Better yet, Nintendo is handing them the Advance Wars license.
Silk song please!!
Wow, finally something exciting on the Nintendo land. These shows sometimes throw such delightful surprises, I'm game! One thing I wouldn't say no to, is some additional content for Hades. Tally ho!
can you expect information regarding DLC of Cuphead and Hollow Knight Silksong tomorrow?
@Beermonkey the RE showcase is on the 15th lol. After the Indie World showcase
release date for Happy Game and Tormented Souls plz
I want a Indie developed Battletoads game!
Nintendo and Microsoft make it happen!
I mean Mr. Xbox had a Switch in the background!
I heard that FNAF:Security Breach is only a limited-time exclusive for the PS5 and because Scott went out of his way to put all the FNAF games on Switch even the VR one(Help Wanted) what if we could get a Switch port development announcement for FNAF:Security Breach.
@anoyonmus Looks super eerie but also interesting and fun.
Hey EA, can we get a release date for Lost in Random
@anoyonmus I know. Both in the same week. 2 nights in row. Any excuse for beer really. 😄
@BizarreJelly28980 don't forget that Security Breach will be on PS4 and PC on the same day as PS5.
Its not impossible for a switch port to be announced as Capcom announced a PC release of MH Rise before the switch version launched. But it is unlikely though imo.
If no Security Breach announcement for switch later after PS5, PC, and PS4, at least we got some indie horror games like Tormented Souls , Happy Game (which is actually rn a switch console exclusive), and In Sound Mind.
Also the real question is here is whether the switch can run Security Breach
@BizarreJelly28980 thats EA not Ubisoft lol
Hmmm good ole Nindies huh... Welp, Hoping for...
Release Dates:
Coming to Switch Announcements:
Prepared for:
Sidenote: It would be cool if these Indie showcases also featured some smaller 1st party titles like back in the 3DS & WiiWare days e.g. Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Pushmo, Box Boy, Dr. Mario, Part-Time UFO etc. too. We need more of those on Switch; it adds to the 'Nintendo charm' of the system.
@wuntyme8 I am already prepared for disappointment
Long shot, but I'm still holding out hope for a Witchbrook Switch announcement!
Hopefully we get some follow up on Cardshark and Ohmori.
Obviously hoping for a Silksong update. Wasn’t it originally announced for a winter 2019 release date? It’s gotta be coming soon. Axiom Verge 2, I sort of expect to see, but honestly I really want an update on Sports Story. Also, if we get a release date on Shredder’s Revenge on top of those three... I’m ready to buy my pre-orders. Last year was a great year for Switch indies, so hopefully things start picking up now.
Would love to see Rhythm Paradise Megamix.
@RupeeClock I guess Silksong could be ok, but I would be more interested with some Bushiden news.
NINJA APPROVED
What I hope to see
1. Tormented Souls update(and maybe a release date)
2. In Sound Mind update/ release date
3. Happy Game news
4. Update on the switch port of Genshin Impact (hopefully)
5. Long Shot: Switch port of FNAF Security Breach announced But very unlikely to happen
6. Ultimate Custom Night switch port release
7. HK Silksong update
8. Axiom Verge 2 update
I am still keeping my expectations low tho
If either cuphead dlc or silk song is part of this then I’m going to lose my $&?@ in the best possible way...my 2 favorite indies ever 🙌
(shovel knight games come reeeeal close though...as well as Celeste...and also my favorite dark horse pick The End is Nigh)
@Beermonkey I must salute the honesty of your username.
@anoyonmus
Pretty sure Security Breach is already confirmed to happen eventually.
@Screen nah not really
It is a timed Playstation console exclusive
(it will come to PS5 and PS4) and it will come to PC at the same time for now.
But it will come to other consoles 3 months later.
It isn't impossible for a switch port to be announced before the Playstation 4 and 5 versions of the game come out as Capcom had announced a PC version of MH Rise before the NS version came out
Can't wait for the Vroom in the Night Sky 2 announcement!
@RupeeClock
Oh i forgot about that
Hoping for a least one really huge shadow drop. Silksong would be great, but I'm open to other options.
@PhilKenSebben Hey buuuuuddy! Battle Axe is my next “most-hyped” but that one’s already got a release date. Spelunky still seems to be saying “Summer 2021” but I’m REALLY hoping they drop both games tomorrow. After those two I’m pretty much all out of wants at this point, and I’ve recently been getting back into backlog stuff so I’m pretty well set. I’m ALL about Immortal Redneck and Steamworld Dig 2 right now.🤘🏻
Indie Worlds always have dope games. Really hoping for a great “later today” drop.
@GhostGeneration As an enormous Spelunky fan, who has sunks hundreds of hours into the first, and close to a hundred into the second, I'm both hopeful for and scared of a shadow drop. As for IR and Dig, amazing games. My head has been into MH Rise lately, and not much else. Been playing a lot of board games with the kiddo, and one deck dungeon by myself.
Hoping to learn more about Sports Story all the others I'll like a few then forget what they are called or just never realise they came out
Is the upcoming TMNT game considered an indie game? I'm dying for more information on that. Either way, I love these indie presentations as I usually find two or three things I'm looking forward to.
@PhilKenSebben Nice! I actually dropped off from MH Rise for a little bit, just one of those random mood shifts back into roguelikes and such. The Spelunky games are my latest holdouts for Switch indies right now, after them anything else is bonus. I’ve never played them so I’ll be going in 100% green.
Hell yeah! I can see "Dusk" (that oldschool-ish but modern Quake-like shooter) being either given a release date or a shadow drop, since it recently (finally) passed a...thing (i forgot) at Nintendo Of America.
Hopefully we see Baldo again. That game looked dope.
would say madden but i do not know if that would qualify for this but maybe a yooka laylee sequal
@Jackpaza0508 wouldn’t it be untitled geese game?!
All I want is Slime Rancher. Give me that, and I'll be happy.
Any news on these games would be welcome!
Eastward
Amid Evil
Dusk
Hollow Knight: Silk Song
Zero Ranger (big hope)
Bonus - any update on what M2 has cooking up.
Yess! I have a ton of upcoming indies with generic ‘2021’ release dates on my watchlist, so hopefully they’ll show off/date at least one of them during the presentation!
Anyone predict Battletoads to the switch?
Sports Story Please !!
Nice.
I'm always down for more directs.
SILKSONG GET HYPE
Deltarune chapter 2?
Maybe, Nintendo will give Wonder Boy some recognition? A remake of Monster World IV is coming very soon!
Genshin Impact and Elden Ring
@Clyde_Radcliffe Seriously. I been wondering what happened to that
$20 says no mention of Silksong
Knight Squad 2 comes out tomorrow and Nintendo decides to share an Indie World Showcase video. Coincidence? I think not. Knight Squad 2 is just that good. (I'm not joking, it is gonna be awesome and stupendous) (both the video and Knight Squad 2)
@GhostGeneration Spelunky is my desert isle game. Been playing it since 2009. Loved every version. You're in for a treat. And when isn't it time for roguelikes/lites? Never.
With summer on the way, I'm just hoping for a Windjammers 2 release date announcement...and maybe one for Sports Story as well.
Silksong...!? Is that you...?
Sneaky Sasquatch for Switch babyyyyy
Really hyped for this. Nowadays I seem to spend most of my time playing indie games. What I want more than anything out of tomorrow is more info and a date for Sports Story. Other than that, I just want new games and surprises - it's the most creative area in gaming just now so I never tend to be disappointed by the Indie Worlds.
I... I hear a message... Silksong
Cuphead DLC
New Rhythm Heaven Game
@BenAV that’s dark and cruel man...
Let me have my silksong fix please
@sixrings good one! 100% sure its coming. Bu do you think tomorrow already?
Guacamelee 3 please. Also info on sports story, silksong and axiom verge 2.
@PhilKenSebben True story! I honestly need to stop buying stuff like MH, Saints Row, etc. cause I always end up just going back to my roguelikes, indies, etc. I have a feeling once I have both Spelunkys that they’ll be consuming my gaming time exclusively until Repentance comes out. 🤘🏻
I wonder if Loop Hero is going to come to Switch?
Would be great to get some news on Blaster Master Zero 3 and Picontier!
who knows.
It says fresh and NEW indie games so probably not games that have already come out
but whatever.
Who knows what will happen
Silksong Silksong Silksong Silksong....
Please?
A real direct, an Indie direct, a lot of games just gettingdropped, a big E3 presentation planned...
A sports story update would be nice
Hope we get Pyre from Supergiant
@Vortexeo metroid prime 4 isn't a inde game lol that's a first party game
@Petew do you mean Rhythm Heaven Mega Mix? I loved that game on 3ds. My problem was I couldn't watch the visuals and get the beats perfect. But the visuals were hilarious. It would be great on Switch.
How about revealing the fact that Shantae from the GBC is coming next week with the GBA Enhancement Mode added on? Since this is an Indie World Showcase, don't expect a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Trailer, as E3 2021 might end up showcasing BOTH Final Characters at the beginning AND end of the E3 2021 Presentation. I mean, it worked for Hero and Banjo & Kazooie.
@tricksterdoom Fingers crossed for Silksong and Eastward
You read my mind!
Getting ready to put on the clown makeup when Silksong doesn't show up...
@dugan Yes same game. It is known an Paradise Megamix in the UK.
@Vortexeo I don't think you should get your hopes up there is a very very small chance the stream will be about anything but indie games
@the_beaver I completely forgot about Hazelnut Bastille, I’d LOVE for that to come out tomorrow, or at least soon!
I'm glad someone is bringing games to the Switch, seeing as Nintendo doesn't seem to be interested. Hoping for some cool new games.
Hoping for Cadence of Zebes.
@Tom-Nook Don't worry I was joking lol
SKATE BIRD! I forgot about Skate Bird!
I'm looking forward to getting hyped about Silksong news but then not hearing any news about Silksong... again...
@bmumble Yep. It was the same drill for Hollow Knight back then too. Refreshing my browser like twelve times a day to see if there was news, and there never being news.
@GrailUK all of those sound amazing tbh
@WoomyNNYes while I'm awaiting a release date too, is Genshin Impact really considered an "indie?"
Sky port please!
@fireflydrake hehe. Just need someone to make them lol
SILKSONG!!! PLEASE!!!
We haven't had news about this game for AGES
On a different note, where is the next Nintendo game? You know, they were obsessed with Monster Hunter (Even though it wasnt theirs) thats done, before that it was Animal Corssing.
So come on Nintendo, wheres the next game???
All the mentions of Sports Story are making me excited. A shadow drop of that would make my week.
I think as mentioned, Shantae is likely to be part of the showcase, seems strange that it hasn't been mentioned more before now by Nintendo.
Whatever wild horse games come up, I'm all for it, this is the system for them!
@anoyonmus Dang I forgot sorry for mixing it up.
Garage: Bad trip 2 would be nice, I loved the first game
does anyone know when this will start for uk people
@datamonkey That gave me an idea! Imagine a goose game spin-off that's completely about co-op? Like Brothers a tale of two sons but for geese!
The YouTube chat is a sad state of affairs. Everyone commenting BotW2, Prime 4, Smash etc... it's INDIE! The clue is in the name.
Ok, so none of the games I was hoping for was shown lol. Better not to be hyped at all with the Indie Showcase, it seems...
