[Teeb147]

[EarlTamm]

So many cats...

 

[zferolie]

this cat game is really cute. loving the art style

 

[The Legendary Beast]

Going to quote my message from the General Discussion. Good luck guys.

I wish the Shantae fans the best of luck. Hope your dreams come true too, sincerely a Ridley, K.Rool fan.

 

[Teeb147]

hey this hat game looks fun.

 

[EarlTamm]

Oh god, it's my worst fear personified.

 

[M00NFIRE94]

Ah Sweet. Undertale's coming out sooner than expected. September 16th.

 

[VizardJeffhog]

Aaaaaaaand that's a wrap. That "one more announcement" comment almost made my heart leap out of my chest there...

 

[EarlTamm]

Well, that was rather short. Saw some neat games though.

 

[Teeb147]

that was..
pretty short..

 

[zferolie]

welp thats it. Got my exceitment going with one more announcement to show lol

 

[Deleted member]

Welp. no Shantae, But Bastion is coming to switch. so thats cool.

 

[SneakyLink]

Well, we didn't get Shantae in Smash today, but we did receive a ton of cool indie trailers...

Be right back, gotta go preorder Untitled Goose Game!

 

[NukeA6]

And the thread's viewership will shrink to 1-5 until next time. Oh well, there's always next month.

 

[AngrySun88]

Yup, just as I expected, no Shantae announcement. So we can expect more speculation until the next Direct.

Interesting selection of games, though. The Switch really is the console for indies.

 

[Captain Hazama]

Was hoping for some sort of WayForward game or extra content. Oh well.

 

[M00NFIRE94]

Aaaaaaaand that's a wrap. That "one more announcement" comment almost made my heart leap out of my chest there...

Yeahhh Into the Breach did not need a "but wait" moment. Now I'm mad at it.

 

[EarlTamm]

I am more surprised there was nothing on Shovel Knight here with the new campain coming soon.

 

[Booper Blooper]

I kinda broke there for a moment before the Into the Breach segment.

That being said really enjoyed the direct, Mineko's Night Market seems exactly like my type of game so super excited for that.

And remember, WayForward's weird behavior recently is still a thing, nothing became less likely because of this.
We just got to see a bunch of neat games.

 

[CloudedSun]

To be expected, I'd understand why they wouldn't show Smash on a Nindie direct.

That being said, I'm sure within the next couple days they're going to announce another general or Smash direct.

 

[MattX20]

I figured this would be the outcome, and nothing substantial was there to deconfirm Shantae either.

 

[IGuessItsOver]

Rate the Direct

5/10, went as expected.

 

[Captain Hazama]

Good God, look at the many people here.

Kinda reminded me of Recettear on PC.

 

[Shadow Novus]

Yeah...I figured there wouldn't be anything Smash related during this. Though that "one more thing" gave me a mini heart attack.

I guess that just shows how starved I am for more info on Smash and Shantae...

 

[Veodok]

Shantae Discord after the end.

 

[zferolie]

All the games shown were pretty cool

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I am more surprised there was nothing on Shovel Knight here with the new campain coming soon.

I'm also wondering where the Super Meat Boy sequel is.
Maybe they're not shown to give the more unknown indies a chance.

Not a bad selection but nothing I'm intrested in. Well, I'll wait for reviews on "into the breach" first.

 

[EarlTamm]

Yeahhh Into the Breach did not need a "but wait" moment. Now I'm mad at it.

Yeah, I admit I was tad disappointed after the one more announcement thing, but don't be mad at the game, it looks pretty cool. Seems to have some good pixel art strategy.

 

[Glaciacott]

I'm actually super amused that the guy went "we have one more announcement"

Best troll since Dedede

 

[GoldLiger]

Oh well. There is always next time.

 

[Booper Blooper]

Kinda reminded me of Recettear on PC.

Yep! That's where my mind went too when I saw the little shop.
I loved that game, and cats make everything better, so this could be really neat.

 

[CrowGoesCaw]

I really didn't expect this would be when they revealed Shantae, if she's in. But that one more thing did get me. Haha, hope is a double edged sword.

 

[Yellowlord]

I think this is a new record, guys.

 

[EarlTamm]

Wow, there is a lot of people viewing this thread.

 

[Jave]

That was a good Nindie show. Particularly interested in that cat game (great art style) and nice to have an Undertale release date.

 

[LunarLiv]

There was a Shovel Knight battle mode announced recently

But anyway, Hyper Light Drifter is neat, and the thing with the cats looks cute!

Welp, let's wait and hope for the next direct, and beyond that!

Shame there was no Travis Strikes Again stuff tho ;~;

 

[Baws]

I definitely give it much more than a 5, more like 8/10 for me. Tons of great Indies coming to Switch, but like we thought some news we already knew here and there.

Also yeah Into the Breach did get me just a little salty with the "one more thing," but it IS coming out today.

 

[Teeb147]

There were a few games that caught my attention.
Gotta love indie games.

 

[AngrySun88]

There was nothing that confirmed or deconfirmed Shantae, and it would make sense that they wanted to show off lesser known indie games.

I expect a Nintendo Direct sometime next month, though.
