Everything Shown at Today’s Nintendo Indie World Showcase — GeekTyrant


Nintendo recently hosted a new Indie World Showcase where fans of indie games got to see some upcoming titles coming to the Nintendo Switch. There were some really cool entries shown off. You can check out the entire presentation below, a full list of all the titles above that, and some of my highlights above that. What did you enjoy the most from the presentation?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is definitely a stand out. Based on classic side-scrolling beat ‘em up games of the past, this game looks so awesome! I know I can’t wait to kick some shell with my friends later this year!

Cris Tales is a game that I’m torn on. I love the art, and the concept sounds really cool. However, I’m not the biggest fan of JRPG combat mechanics. Maybe this one won’t be so bad?

I just want to play GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon for the art! It looks gorgeous! I’m sure there’s some good gameplay in it as well, but I couldn’t stop staring at the backgrounds and characters to really pay attention to that.
