"No silksong" seems to be a very popular phrase in live chat

Lots of very interesting games

There were a lot of charming little games in this showcase -- my main regret is that some of the ones just in the montage at the end seemed like they deserved more time. I wanted a bigger spotlight on the geckos!!

Not much here I'm particularly crazy about, but I always appreciate the unique ideas indie devs bring to the table that Triple A otherwise wouldn't have. Beautiful art direction nine times out of ten too.

I am so happy to see Outer Wilds finally on Switch. Please please, dont sleep on this gem of a game, even if you, on the first glance, can not see why it is so beloved, give it a try.

If you expect no silksong, then you won’t be disappointed when no silksong

Outer Wilds is peak gaming. If you’ve somehow managed to ignore it thus far, don’t keep sleeping on it!

Lots of very interesting games, including some I've been really hoping to see! My one big criticism: a lot of those games were just shoved into the highlight reel at the end. This could have been a longer, fuller presentation! I would have loved a bit more spotlight on Gecko Gods, Passpartout 2, and the fascinating-looking Urban Myth Dissolution Center, just to name a few. Don't give such incredible looking gems the short shrift, ya know?

Outer Wilds !!!!!! I've waited for it to be released on Switch since it was first announced... So glad to finally see it here, it gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyed... My favourite game of the past ten years is finally here ! WOOHOO !

Don't overlook Planet of Lana; I played it via Game Pass and it really is a charming little game. Shantae, Chimera Blade, and Urban Myth Dissolution are the ones I have my eye on from this presentation. Might grab that Outer Wilds physical version when it launches, too.

Outer Wilds and Shantae caught my attention. It's nice to see other indie projects, even if they're not my tastes. I might be a Hollow Knight fan, but please let other Indie Teams shine!

I’ve never played a Shantae game before, but I’m REALLY excited for her fans. Anything is possible with time =).

20 years seems like a sweet spot for many great game series to return. Metroid Dread, Paper Mario TTYD, and now Shantae.

Shantae? AND A GAME ABOUT GECKOS? Peak direct

So excited to finally be able to get Moonstone Island on Switch! Been wanting that on Switch since I tried it on Steam!

Some really cool looking games AND Outer Wilds! This was really cool. Chat was being annoying as usual.

It’s nice to see cool games from small teams getting the spotlight. But every time an Indie World happens I’m reminded of how awful the live chat is.

Shantae Advance and Blade Chimera were the highlights in this whole direct for me

Howl and A Highland Song both have a very heartfelt and warm charm about them, I think.

Hyped to finally play Outer Wilds! And On Your Tail looks fun-love Humble Games’ work. Others like Highland Song and Backpack Hero are a maybe-on-sale for me. Just doesn’t seem like there’s enough there in mechanics. I’m excited that more indie studios are investing in demos, though!! So nice when they respect that we all have different tastes in art style and gameplay feel, especially on switch where there’s no return policy 😅

OUTER WILDS LETS GO! This game deserves so much praise. Such a great experience.

A Highland Song looks and sounds beautiful, looking forward to it!

Shantae, A Highland Song, Urban Myth Dissolution Center, and Outer Wilds all have my attention.

I do love these indie showcases, but I can't be the only one who's sometimes thinking "and now, explain it to me like I'm not 5 years old"

Outer Wilds looks like so much fun! It may be my favorite on here, at first glance. I appreciate these Devs so much!

So glad Outer Wilds is finally coming to switch. This will just give it more attention too. It really deserves it, as it really is, to me at least, the greatest game ever made. I get it isn’t for everyone, but I love it

If anyone hasn't played Outer Wilds yet: it's truly one of the best pieces of media ever made.

A highland song looks very nice, plus out wilds and that gecko gods one. Very solid indie world!

i always found it funny people say nintendo hates indie devs and fan devs and then when nintendo has a whole entire presentation dedicated to boosting indie devs, the same people do nothing but complain about "WHERES SILKSONG WE DONT CARE ABOUT THIS OTHER GARBAGE" sounds like nintendo cares about indie devs way more than the entire internet lol

I seriously love indie games! So many unique ideas and concepts, and brilliant art design! Video games are such a creative medium, and I’m so glad indie developers are here to take full advantage of that!!

Love seeing new exciting Indie Games, but Howl has me very intrigued by the ideas and art style alone. It’s always the underrated gems that I feel deserve more attention and love. Excited to give that game a go!

Blade Chimera's hella dope, same for A Highland Song & A Star named EOS. The former is my most definite highlight of this Showcase!

Outer Wilds is one the best games of all time for me, very unique and I'd recommend everyone play through it!

Shantae was the best thing to open up with. But no "one last thing" caught me by surprised.

Memorable Games knew *exactly* what they were doing

Howl looks pretty interesting so the shadow drop and demo is nice, definitely gonna check it out

A lot of solid looking titles to look forward to!

That music in Highland Song was beautiful

Here's a tip for all you Silksong fans: If you don't expect Silksong in showcases like this, not only will you not be as pained when it doesn't show up, but it'll be much more exciting when it *does* show up.

Começa em 29:41

Shantae advanced looks really impressive and I'm really looking for it on getting that game!

BRO WHO DID THAT FIRE BEAT AT THE END THAT WAS HEAAATT

Dear Nintendo, there has got to be a better way of reuploading the stream so that there isn’t 30 minutes of nothing at the start

Showcase starts at 29:45 if anyone's wondering after the stream. Edit: now it starts at 00:00!

@NintendoAmerica - I understand wanting to start the feed ahead of the showcase, but would it be too much to ask for the dead 1/2 hour to be edited out after the showcase ends?

Outer Wilds on switch is exciting and the new Shantea game looks like a good reason to get into that series! A lot of the other stuff also looks cool, but unfortunately none of it really piqued my interest, but it seems like stuff that could be big in certain communities so that’s nice. Happy gameing everyone!

I’m quite happy Outer Wilds finally made it. I remember it was announced for switch a while back.

Every single game here looks worth checking out! All with their unique visual styles and tones to them. I have nothing but praise for the passion of the teams behind these games. Although, Outer Wilds is certainly my favourite title among these gems and I'm glad for it's port!

Backpack hero has been such a fun game! Cool to see it land on switch with 1.0!!

Some of these look incredibly stylistic and fun, cant wait.

0:53 Shantae Wonder

That was awesome about shantae advance coming to switch. I'm looking forward to the physical copy

Always excited for new Shantae games! One of the best 2D platformers on modern consoles IMO.

What a start! More Shantae? YES PLEASE!!

Outer Wilds is one of the best and most unique games I have ever played...give it at least 23min and you'll be hooked!

Blade Chimera has my attention. I can see the Lodoss War influence from their previous game, and it looks good. *Edit: I’m surprised the Braid Anniversary Edition is still alive.*

Shantae and blade chimera look pretty fun, will be looking into those the most. How can I pass up shantae and badass Cyberpunk Alucard

So stoked about Braid Anniversary finally coming out

Core Keeper is really fun, love that game. Not sure if I'd be into On Your Tail but that rat shirt is incredible. A rodent hero in Backpack Hero? Sign me up. Passpartout 2, sweet!

I feel likee this showcase was mostly catered to me since we got mostly Mystery games during this Indie Showcase! I'll have to check out the free demo for Death Trick Double Bind after this showcase! Edit: Made comment more specific

OUTER WILDS RELEASE DATE YEEEAAHHHHH

Would DEFINITELY recommend Moonstone Island. Just finished it on my Steam Deck, not 100% yet, but a pretty good game. Thougj, i must warn you: leveling up monsters is pretty hard, as the EXP does not accumulate

This is easily my favourite Indie World they’ve ever done! I’m interested in over half the genes that were shown! Great stuff.

VIDEO STARTS 30 MINUTES IN.

I’m so happy Planet of Lana is coming to Switch! Got to play the game on Game Pass earlier this year and it was a real treat!

Blade Chimera just oozes Symphony of the Night inspirations, and I am all for it!

On Your Tail looks pretty cool! I love investigation games so that's right up my alley! And Backpack Hero seems fun! And looks very charming ❤ Many good and creative games in this, loved it!

Starts at 29:40

It's beautiful to see how games of all over the world get a spotlight on this

I didn't even know this was going to happen! Wish I could have watched this live & chatted! Might comment more later!

The chat was toxic, as always.

One thing, play Outer Wilds, but with out spoilers, but PLAY THIS MASTERPIECE, you will memory it for the rest of your life, as one of the best games of evertime, he can be liked by Zelda BotW fans !

Core keeper looks very interesting I hope it’s really good!

Both the detective/mystery games are calling to me :)

Shantae mostly carried the Indie World for me, but I was pleasantly surprised by On Your Tail; precisely the kind of stuff I hope to see from Indie Worlds

I’m surprised that a lot of ppl don’t know the difference between Indie World and Nintendo Direct. Indie world talks about 3rd parties games so we are not going to see MarioKart9 or a Zelda Rise of the Dark Kingdom yeah I’m sure whoever made Super Barbie mega shopping mall will make something like Zelda games for us lol. Nintendo Direct features both Nintendo made games such as Mario, Zelda, Pokémon and other licensed Nintendo games and a mixed of 3rd parties games.

These always have an impressive variety of titles in ‘em. Might pick up the backpack dungeon one.

Holy crap! Outer Wilds finally! I had given up on seeing that one until Switch 2. And a Braid port? I wasn't expecting to hear about that game ever again. These are nice surprises even if there's still no word about Silksong.

Wish for a Shantae physical release on GBA 🤞🏼

Outer Wilds it's an experience! Highly recommended!!

Looking forward to Highland Song. That looks enjoyable

this was a pretty solid direct, some i'm not interested in but others might. biggest highlights for me were Blade Chimera, Shantae Advance and Core Keeper.

Wow Silksong looks amazing!

Don't sleep on the Outer Wilds. Looks like they did a good job with the port.

Y’all worried about Silksong I’m wondering where’s Pizza Tower

We'll have to see how it runs on switch, but Outer Wilds is one of the best games I've ever played. Seriously don't sleep on it. There's nothing else like it.

I NEED THIS TRACK SO BAAD 49:26

Core keeper is so good I’m happy to see it’s coming to console

I always adore Shantae, and I appreciate what a monumentally unusual situation Shantae Advance is in, but if the monkey and elephant are the only forms in the game then I will be a little disappointed. Still getting it day one though lol.

I was hoping Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution would be here, even though I thought it was kind of a slim chance, but it IS HERE!

silksong fans are still eating air

I love Moonstone Island, So happy it's gonna be on switch. That gecko game seems really fun, so does that Italian mystery game

Highland Song looks amazing.

This was pretty solid 👍

Damn no Rift of the Necrodancer?

I wasn't expecting this to start out with a new Shantae. On Your Tail is my most anticipated. Also have my eye on Blade Chimera and A highland song. Moonstone Island actually looks really sick, too.

Shante goes crazy especially a sequel after more than 20 years to release

Great Indie World Direct! I'm pretty interested in some of the games that were featured on here! I'll give it a 7.5/10!

no silksong:(
