mostly filler, some good looking stuff here and there, TSANMH was a nice surprise.

Still waiting for Mario Odyssey to drop.

>>388756089
I didn't mean to imply that we should have the same opinions or anything. That'd be trash. I just wanted to hear what people thought of it.

Most of the games looked like utterly awful but there were some good looking games there.

This looks really good, I don't know why people hire these fuckers to make 2.5D shit.

Shovel Knight's cool, Golf Story looks fun, Dragon Marked For Death looks fun, and hot diggedy I would like some more Travis Touchdown in my life. I hope they bring his voice actor back though. The guy in the trailer sounded off.

King Knight.
SteamWorld Dig 2.
Golf Story.
Dragon Marked For Death.
No More Heroes.

These look like they were the games of note.
Bonus point to that Yuno game for having a cute Elephant though.

>No More Heroes is demoted to indie trash
Lel, apt because it's a shit wagglemashing minigame collection with like 5 boss battles.

>>388756541
Wow, sounds like you sure played the first two.

>>388756708
Actually I only played the first one.

I'm pretty mad that Super Meat Boy has devolved into an infinite runner though.

This. I really have no idea why. It's kind of sad.
I admit that I can't stand Mighty No. 9, and all while it looks like Bloodstained controls/plays just right, it still looks pretty damn ugly.

But after each new 2D game of Inti Creates I play I seem to become more and more a fan. They make pretty great games actually. I love Gunvolt and just recently Mighty Gunvolt Burst was pretty awesome too and I still had lots of fun with Blaster Master.
Mighty No. Shit really doesn't do them justice.

I am looking forward to Marked for Death. It looks great.

>>388757109
Probably because there has been a lot of SMB type games releaed recently. No point in over saturating the market and ruin the genre with more of the same gameplay.

>>388755974
I liked Golf Story, that Inti game, King Knight, Earth Atlantis, Dig 2 and the elephant game
Mom hid my game is the game of the fucking century
And I can't believe we got a new NMH game of all things

Morphies Law has a dumb but cool concept. I just wish they would get rid of the stupid meme skull art style.

>>388757570
Yeah, it really doesn't add anything and doesn't make much sense either. Looks pretty fun though.

>>388757570
You damn well know unlocking more skins is most likely one of features of playing the game.

Golf Story really is meant to be a spiritual successor to Mario Golf from when Mario Golf was still good, right? That's not just a misinterpretation on my part is it?

If that is what it is trying to be then I really hope that it succeeds. Those games were incredible.

SUPER MEAT BOY FOREVER

Q: What will it be?
A:

>>388758201
Glorified mobileshit that's shoved onto consoles for extra shekels.

Anyone know what that Away game is? I had never heard of it before this.

When I first saw it in the Nindies teaser
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwZRnnwo14E
it looked pretty bad. Not particularly good. But after finding the full trailer on Nintendo's channel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56bq0q4luVk
it doesn't actually look all that bad. Unlike the first teaser this trailer does a much better job at conveying the size of the world(s) and how you traverse them. And it actually shows you interacting with characters and objects and stuff.

But it's a dungeon crawler of sorts? Perhaps not. But it looks like there is at the very least some effort behind it. Initially I was almost convinced that there were none. As of now I think I am intrigued.

>>388758201
>Q: What will it be?
Looks like a ripoff of Mario Run.

>>388755974
Dragon Marked For Death looks good
Need to see gameplay for the new NMH game first

>>388758679
this.
surprisingly i liked nine parchments as well, reminded me of the old magicka games before they went to shit.

Oh boy can't wait to play more BING BING WAHOO games.

>>388758429
All I know is it looked like shovelware in the nindies teaser, but then looked alright in the actual showcase.

>>388759248
(you) picked the wrong thread.

So is that No More Heroes thing, going to be a non-indie game using a bunch of indie properties?
Or are they somehow indie?

I honestly don't care whether or not it's indie. Can't fathom how it really matters. But I am still a bit confused. I did not expect No More Heroes at an indie showcase.

>>388757408
>>388756326
Fun fact, Megaman Zero and Megaman ZX developers are working on this game.

http://nintendoeverything.com/many-staffers-from-the-mega-man-zero-mega-man-zx-series-working-on-dragon-marked-for-death/

>>388759516
And it's a Switch exclusive! Is Nintendo "funding" it? That wouldn't make it an indie, if that's the case

>>388759516
The story involves Travis going to video game worlds, most of the worlds are based off indie games

>>388759516
Pretty much kingdom hearts but with indie games and Travis fucking shit up. All that's missing is Travis singing under the sea

There were some other games that had trailers which weren't in the video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRru7ebC-l8
Super Beat Sports looks like the Rhythm Heaven Endless games mixed with a sports theme and multiplayer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRmaf5dA3w0
And Runner3 looks great.

>>388760825
I really need this if it's true. I wonder what the 6 worlds will be though. Jeez, First Mario+Rabbids, then this.

>>388760825
>yfw Nintendo lets Suda use Fatal Frame for a world

>>388760986
>Travis meets Yuri from Fatal Frame V
>He tries to fuck her

That would make my day, holy shit.

>>388755974
Felt like there was a lot of samey shit, but there's a few games I'm hype for.

Was expecting a hype announcement and "you can download this after the presentation" moment

>it's a prequel
>it features a card minigame

Well
I didn't see that coming

>>388761141
No game is going to do that, especially right after MarioRabbid was just released. Indie games sell best when there is a lull and you need something to play in between big releases.

>>388755974
>No mention of Tiny Metal or its release date

I just found out about that game 2 days ago, and it looks sweet, I want it.

I remember seeing about half an hour of gameplay of it a few months ago. The gameplay seemed a bit lacking, but I don't remember exactly why.

Is Kentucky Route Zero any good? Sounds kinda neat. In fact most of this stuff sounds pretty cool, gonna have to invest in a decent microSD at some point.

SMBF, Golf Story, PolyBridge, Steamworld Dig 2, Mulaka, Yono, Sausage Sports Club and Travis Strikes Again all looked fun.

I expected pretty much nothing. But there were several games I think I'll enjoy.
And I would have never expected No More Heroes. I am still not entirely sure why it was even featured. Are they really indie?

>>388757570
It looks neat, and I'm fine with the Dia de los Muertos aesthetic, but for fucks sake, I hope they don't stick with the stock UE4 player model. Like if all I gotta do to sell a game is change some rulesets, textures, and slap a couple maps together, I'll have a new UE4 Switch game done within the month.

>>388755974
>Steam world dig 2
Fuuuuck that game was torture and yet somehow fun for one playthrough

Also, what's is this? I haven't seen a Indie game tidal wave since the launch of PS4. This is unreal.

>>388771956

What's weird is there's a bunch of other shit that's been announced but wasn't touched on at all with the direct.

Stardew Valley, The Fall pt. 2, Pocket Fighter, Wargroove, Hollow, Hollow Knight, Rocket League and Shakedown: Hawaii were missing.

>>388770582
Every time someone looks at simplistic art and says "I could have done this," I have only one reply:
Then why didn't you?

>>388772291
I'm surprised we didn't see more of this yet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4Cz5IQ5bIg

>>388772672
It's not an indie game, but yeah, it's weird we haven't seen anything about this at all since the reveal.
What the hell SE?

>>388772291
Probably because everyone knows about them already. They want to showcase the lesser known ones, to give all the indie game a chance to shine. I mean, I would have never heard of Yono if not for this.

>>388772291
Wargroove and Hollow Knight were in this direct.

>>388772550
I am working on a little side UE4 project for fun, but I didn't think you could just reskin the dummy model that comes with the engine and sell it as a game. More power to them, honestly. More money for less effort is the way to go. Like I said, I like the idea, I'm just a little surprised.

>>388773016
For what it's worth. The shoddy player characters of the game is why I am leaning towards not buying it. Didn't even know they were default UE4 assets.
And if I was to go on a tangent. Perhaps I am just not big enough of a gun nut, but I can't help but feel like it's kind of weird that the guns look like real guns. Considering the effects of shooting people appears to be stealing their mass rather than blasting their skulls open or whatnot. Point being the effect of the guns doesn't seem like the effects of real guns. But as far as looks are concerned they still look like real guns.

It's odd. I think I like the concept of the game though. So it's a real shame.

>>388772291
Rocket league already gave relevant info at E3. Crossplay and has everything the other consoles already have. It's quite impressive how good Nintendo has taken care of porting the bigger 3rd party games. Big shots like Rocket league and minecraft are huge for the switch. Combining he ultimate comfort games with a comfy device like the switch is utter genius.

>>388773450
Well maybe this is just super pre-alpha, but if that were the case, I wouldn't expect it to be featured by Nintendo yet. And I agree with the gun point. I mean at the end of the day, if it's fun to play, it's fun to play. Im just jaded because of the knowledge that what they showed seems like something a competent dev team could make in a week, or even less. But like I said, more power to them, because I'm still interested in it.

I was very surprised with this game, i really like the artstyle but i am really surprised that the game was developed by Mexicans:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XpatO5lafQ

>>388776836
Well it's a native game so..

>>388776836
>Dive into northern Mexico's breathtaking landscapes with Mulaka, a 3D action-adventure game based on the rich indigenous culture of the Tarahumara. Mulaka comes to Nintendo Switch early 2018!

From the video description.

Why are you surprised Mexicans are developing a game of their own culture?

>>388776083
Literally one of the best pics of all time. but it needs to be updated with more recent Switch games

Golf Story looks so fucking good

>>388777385
Most people including Hispanics forget that they have native blood and Spanish blood and act like being Mexican is it's own race.

I figure by the time the war on drugs ends, they'd have some clarity and fully understand their history.

>>388777909
What? In every spic school they teach you that we all come from the natives, be the aztecs, tarahumaras or chichimecas and sometimes depending of the state they teach you about the prevalent indigenous culture from that place. The only reason most mexicans dont like to "acknowledge" their native roots its because they are ashamed of be called indios.

>>388779154
We're not even looked like Native Americans (which we are).
The Spanish interpretation is terrible and isn't taken seriously.

You see spics in the us act like blacks instead which is fucking infuriating.

I don't know what it is exactly, and I've yet to figure it out, but every time specifically Nintendo has shown off a bunch of indie games it always looks like garbage/bargain bin games that aren't interesting at all past 20 minutes, if even that.

But Playstation, MAYBE Xbox will have stronger indie titles that they show off. I could be wrong, but it always feels like that at least they try to think up of quality first before telling you "Hey this game is coming out" rather than Nintendo stockpiling a load of games out trying desperately to get you to play SOMETHING.

Could be me. Does anyone else feel that way?

>>388780020
They do it to white people too, when theres plenty of different kinds of white people.

>>388780198
>Does anyone else feel that way?
I don't really. Playstation's and Xbox's indie showcases were equally awful.
You typically have 1-3 decent to good games at best.
