Yeah, that’s what I meant. All of the games announced in the last video were made by European developers and it was released right before Gamescom. This one however is releasing right before PAX in the US, and it was hinted at by Damon Baker (head of NOA’s indie dev relations team) right after the EU one aired (based on the “more to come” tease; which is obviously this upcoming video now). So expect this to be completely different from the last one, with no repeats!

This must be for US developers. This is right before PAX and the last Nindies Showcase was focused on European games. Hopefully we should get a release date for Undertale Switch here. It’s already up for pre-load on the Japanese eShop, so the game is done and ready to go!

Begs the question of what's going on behind the scenes... What does it mean for Namco's future Switch support? What does it mean for Smash Ultimate and Metroid Prime 4 (which is heavily rumoured to be co-developed by Namco) Nintendo have relied heavily on Namco for development support with most of their games since 2013. If they're falling out, what does it mean going forward? Perhaps Namco realised how much Nintendo was relying on them and decided to take advantage, fighting for a more favorable deal? How do Nintendo cope with developing their own 1st party games without Namco's support? (Is this why they've been expanding Monolith Soft so much over the last few years? To escape from their reliance on Namco?)

Wow... https://www.resetera.com/threads/dark-souls-trilogy-ps4-xbox-one-is-coming-october-19th.63383/ Namco just pulled an EA! Looks like their partnership with Nintendo just became unprecedented! There was definitely some sort of publishing/funding dispute going on between Namco and Nintendo about DS Remastered. Why else would they sit on a finished Switch port for more than 5 months, only to release it on the same day as a trilogy pack for every other console, for the same price? This is some EA level crap here!

Well it’s a bit late... ... but hey! It came out on a Nintendo handheld in the end!

I still disagree with you BTW @Glen-i. Mega Man deserves to go up a tier for inventing the Mega Man Shuffle... He got dem 8 bit moves n’ grooves! Also deserves to go up a notch for inventing Bullet Time... He did it way before it was cool.

This isn’t releasing next year; and probably not on PS4 either. It’ll be a PS5 title in 2020.

Oh wow! That came out of nowhere!! Dat unprecedented partnership with Gungho paying dividends I see! Grandia is fantastic! Easily one of the very best JPRGs of the 32bit era! Chuffed to bits to see it get the HD treatment! (And on Switch no less!). Do wonder if it'll still have the same localisation as it did originally or if it's being redone...

First screenshots of Windjammers 2 gameplay! Looks promising! Glad that they're going for 2D and not ugly 3D! If the trailer is anything to go by, the animation should hopefully make the look work well!

Monster Boy looks absolutely stunning! Can't wait for it! (but yeah, Windjammers 2 is just so out of absolutely nowhere, with an absolutely stunning anime video too! - It has to earn the top spot for me!) Seriously! Guys! Get Windjammers the very second it appears on the Switch eShop! That game is balls to the walls wildbuck amazing! Morphie's Law looks great too! Thrilled to bits to see it have 8 player local multiplayer too! Looks like loads of fun!

HOLY FUCK! NO FUCKING WAY!! Original game comes out October 23rd too!!

I reckon it'll be pretty substantial actually, with quite a few new announcements. Gamescom (i.e, the second biggest gaming event of the year) starts tomorrow, where tons of developers would be making new announcements, releasing new playable demos on the showfloor and new trailers etc. They've timed this perfectly! BTW, we're also due a release of the first SEGA AGES games right about now as well... (They originally announced them for "late August" and that's around now, so I'd expect them to be here too)

Come on Towerfall Switch... gimme that sweet, sweet 8 player support!

https://www.resetera.com/threads/morphies-law-and-other-nindies-updates-coming-in-few-hours.63038/ Looks like we're getting a Nindies Direct today at 14:00 CEST/13:00 BST! Come on shadow drop for Towerfall Switch!

Splatoon's splatfests are basically this already (hell they've actually reused questions from the original EVC!) I want the Mii Contest Channel back! That was loads of fun back in the day!

I do think it’ll happen eventually, but not in early 2019. Maybe in late 2019 - late 2020 though. Depends on when PS5 launches (Nintendo does need to stay somewhat competitive in order to maintain the Switch’s image as a portable home console; instead of being a low powered handheld that can attach to a TV).

Hey there, I know I didn't chime in this time, but I love the idea of this thread and hope it becomes a staple of the community! (Wario Land 4 is a brilliant choice of first game too!) I can't join in this month's one, but I'd definitely love to get involved down the line!

Hey there, I know I'm late to the party here and didn't really have the time to chime in on the game selection, but I just wanted to say that you guys made an EXCELLENT! choice of first game! It's definitely one of the GBA's very best and one of the best platformers out there, period! I actually played through WL4 again not too long ago (like, 9-12 months ago or so) and had a blast! I won't be able to join in again this time, but I'll certainly be up for joining in another time!

Yup, it does indeed have more slowdown than the PAL version; same with Super Metroid (particularily during the fight with Kraid), it's perfectly normal and the same thing happens on the original SNES cart. The US version is much faster and smoother overall though so I'd always choose it over PAL, regardless of a few brief moments of slowdown here and there.

I actually really love that aspect of the game myself; taps into the same sense of immersion that Majora's Mask did so well (even on the 3DS version I never did skip through time the cheaty way!). You find ways of filling the time by doing all the little side activities, like playing in the arcade, or feeding the cat, or getting the capsule toys etc; it's great! Really encourages you to stop and smell the roses!

So... exactly like the original then

Woo! It’s nearly here! Not long to go now my little ducky friend...

They did good work with the Skyrim SE port and with KI Season 2 and 3 on Xbone, so I expect them to do a good job here too.

The fact that they are pitting brand new players up against late game monsters is ridiculous. They’re just cattle being lead to slaughter here! Of course you’re gonna get people complaining about the game being “rough” or “unfair”, especially if they’re used to MHW or have never played any MH game before. This demo is doing more harm than good for the game’s chances.

Ha ha! That's a good idea for a challenge! Might have to try that myself at some point before the game's launch!
