The villain here reminded me of the Gutterballs dream sequence in Big Lebowski

Pretty sure we won't know which direct will unveil the next Switch... Until somebody notices: hey, why haven't they followed the announcement with their usual "no mention of the successor" tweet?!

This reminded me, last year I did a talk at a big mapping conference. About in-game maps. Using Nintendo Switch instead of slide deck. Went well

There's a recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgsQbdg96LI

Seven hours! Wouldn't call that short for a indie puzzle game. I'm more used to 2-3 hours frankly.

I have played for like 8 hours, completed the first island and started the second. I'd say, I never expected a tactical rpg to interest me, but here we are. Good thing it is simple.

How much will I be spolied of the first game's plot if I never played any, but want to try how it feels?

This game is on a very good discount rn in Europe. I've downloaded it and started.. So, an hour later I should say, it's hard to put down!

The what? How can you take sheet music down unless it was straight pulled from Nintendo? It's the same as targeting nintendo music played by individuals.

I feel like there's some part of this story unreported. Like, music sheets on that website cost $5-10 each, so maybe it was not made clear they don't come from Nintendo, or anything like that.

Waaaait, I've just played Ringo Roundup in Layton and Unwound Future!

Playing Nier Automata this week and it's so good and unexpected. Usually I prefer easy modes, but here I do pretty well on normal.

Wow, this is the first sale for this game since 2019. If only anybody in my family liked it.

Could you maybe update the picture for indie worlds with actual indie games on the background? Pretty sure you have plenty

Now I need the mentioned Let Me Poke Cats!

@carlos82 Dune 2! Oh wait, there are scenes on Earth. Mad Max then! There was one in "Fury Road" though.

Wow, Farewell North looks excellent.

Obligatory reference to Cat Quest 2!

So these guys are doing a Thunderful (of "SteamWorld") thing: first a golf game with "Golf Club Wasteland", then a platformer with "The Cub", now a... SRPG? Farming? Idk. All set I believe in the same universe, same art style, with great radio tunes in the background.

Also note the tech vs nature design on the Z-A logo

So in the past week we've learned: 1) no big third-party games on Switch in 2024; 2) no big pokemon game in 2024. This all points clearly towards Switch 2 in early 2025. And that we all have a year to tackle the backlog.

New World of Steam >> New SteamWorld

So... Is it finally time to buy this game? (if I'm not into fps)

But does it have musical numbers?

@CaleBoi25 "Jade and Emerald"

That was a terrible show. Too short, disgustingly so. Had to watch twice. Happy that wasn't the end.

Is it the same as "Minis on the move" from 3DS?..

Haha this new video is fabulous

Guys. Tents and Trees, and hexceed. Two puzzle games that will pull you in for weeks. Especially Tents and Trees, everything in it is a joy, from touch-screen controls to little animations to music.

I know a lot of time have passed, but I'm playing LiS right now for the first time ever, and presentation issues and long loading times are nothing: it's like complaining an old movie is black-and-white. Loading times actually give more time to enjoy the music.

At this point I expect it to be called Nintendo What.

Excellent idea, heard so much about this game, but not ready to spend on it given I'm still on Trees and Tents.

Highlands Tale was excellent in its Indie World presentation, will wait for a discount.

@veesonic Looks like no, you need at least the second local player if you're playing without the network.

Downloaded the game today and found out it requires NSO subscription

Nice. Got "Lost in Random", "Squad 51", and "Kentucky Route Zero" finally.

Was considering also "Spirit & Mouse" and "The Enthropy Centre", but given I don't play anything atm besides Sky and Alan Wake, that'd be too many.

Got Alan Wake on sale, that's what I'd do.

SpongeBob pack is out and costs the same.

$91 shipping to Estonia. Was on the edge, but this + delivery in a year + already own 6 games = sadly no.

@HenryKibble Try Portal Knights.

I soo want this. Already own a half of the games, and four more are on my wishlist. But 200, not including shipping...

Huh, this reminds me of a puzzle.

I'd accept the absense of backwards compatibility — but in this case, I'm immediately buying an OLED switch 1, while postponing the 2 for a couple years.

Pretty sure the bundle will be on sale for 40 by February.

We watched the last Wholesome Direct together with my kid, and this was one of the four games she liked. Will share the good news today

We have Pushmo at home!

Pushmo at home:

How do they show Pokemon X on the screen and its cartridge at the same time?..

From their official website: "This means adding two tracks recently added to the PC version (“Barber of Seville” and “Down by the Riverside”), the ability to “engoldenate” cards, and the Trombone Customizer that allows players to create customized trombones. We’d also like to push some of the recent QoL improvements from the PC version to the Switch, such as the ability to set track volume and the improved “missed the gap” logic." (these are plans, not the update description, but at least it lists the songs)

@yohn777 Just for menus.

Somnium Files 2 discount is just 50%; others look fine.

I like trains.

So.. The Dev... who's open to revisiting a ninja... hit the messenger?..

This is great, and full reports on their site are very thorough. One thing that looks missing is negative accessibility features. Like, if I'm partially blind or hard-of-hearing, what obstacles will I encounter?
