Gunbird? Do you mean Mobile Light Force?

Definitely picking it up, with Sexy Brutale and Nine Parchment.

Yeah, pretty much the same. Hopefully this isn't a case of Nintendo relaxing their stance on the eshop and shovelware flooding in...
That's a lot of games. I haven't even finished Golf Story and I haven't even picked up Steamworld Dig 2 or Battle Chef Brigade yet.
Also if it's not mega-indie game, it's labeled as 'shovelware.'

Yeah, that is basically what it is. I played it a bit at pax.
9 parchments is I believe a timed exclusive, Floor Kids is so far Switch exclusive, Never Stop Sneakin is so far Switch exclusive, don't know about the others, might be more
When I say here exclusive I mean they are brand new and I haven't seen an announcement yet for other platforms, not that they have been declared officially this way

Did you own a Wii U? I did. And it had plenty of indie support. Several of those games weren't very good. The point of my comment was seriously asking if this sudden influx of games are actually quality experiences or not. Eshop ratings don't exist anymore. I personally don't recognize many of the titles. It's a legit question. 22 new titles in the eShop. So, are they shovelware or quality experiences? Or are we getting Meme Run / Blok Drop U / The Letter type of titles? Those 3 were all on Wii U. I'm sorry if my question about quality control came off as snarky. I just don't consider "more" to automatically be "better," especially when apparently decent titles like RIME seem to be poor experiences on the device.
Shovelware seems a bit harsh, but it certainly does feel like the Switch is being flooded by mediocrity right now.
It's a shame when you see some truly great games get lost in the crowd too. Splasher is a great platformer. Not just a good one. A great one. It's on sale this week for $12 for those that are looking for a game that deserves your money.
Even if it was a phenomenal port it would still be a very average racer. It's been out on other platforms for years.
I highly recommend the Sexy Brutal. Original, well thought out and fun.
You are tasked with stopping murders, you stalk the victims to gain information on how things play out then you rewind time and apply a strategy to prevent the events from folding, if you fail you can rewind time and with what you learned create a new strategy and try again.

Even the 3ds didn't see this much support from smaller dev teams.
Because it's a legitimate concern, especially after they allowed a free mobile game to be $10 with WORSENED microtransaction crap on the store already.
I know Tennis in the Face is just a really bad flash/mobile game that somehow keeps getting ported around. Idk about the rest though.
That was NCL not NOA though, and a friendly company with a standing relationship
I'd be a dangerous man with a few hundred pounds worth of eshop credits. Quite a few interesting little games ideal for journeys.
Looking forward to nine parchment and floor kids, otherwise this is a cool down month besides xenoblade so I can work on getting more stuff paid off
Nothing I'm interested in if I'm honest. E-shop wise I just want Tiny Metal and Enter the Gungeon to release.

I dropped 60 hours into the PC version of Enter the Gungeon and will gladly buy it again on Switch the day it's out. Really hoping it still makes its December window.
It's a really good game. Didn't play it nearly as much as I'd have liked on PS4, and for the longest time I was hoping for a Vita version. Switch will do nicely though. Last time I checked they were insistent on it still dropping in 2017.
That says less about them than you seem to believe.
And more about you.
I'll be buying Gunbird, for sure.
Man, can we just take to a moment to reflect on how 2017 has been an awesome year for shmups, with the Switch leading the way.
Finally got non-Fighting Neo Geo games released on PS4/Switch, so the likes of Pulstar, Last Restort, Zedblade, Aero Fighters 2 and Blazing Star have been released, plus these Psikyo releases like Gunbird, Gunbarich and Strikers 1954, as well as Western release of Battle Garegga on PS4. So good.

Human Fall Flat is a ton of fun, especially with friends.
It's basically a giant physics based sandbox with lots of interesting puzzles.

I'd fully recommend Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Overdrive. It's a well balanced brawler with a nice progression / skill tree system. I've got it on Steam and I'll definitely double dip.
I'd honestly put it on par with the Scott Pilgrim brawler from the PS360 gen, it just doesn't resemble River City Ransom. If you were ever a fan of brawlers/beat-em-ups, it's worth the $9.99.
