Nintendo Indie World presentation December 10 at 10 am Pacific

[Duffking]

I really did not like Axiom Verge, but that already kinda looks better from that footage. First one just felt like a trudge, few memorable areas just lots of corridors and shafts because that's what a Metroid does. Would have been ok but the boss fights and enemy design in the final third are just infuriating.

yooo! axiom verge 2!

 

[Zaro]

Not bad, many interesting game to come.

 

[WestEgg]

Fair enough. Some decent looking games there, most excited about Sports Story.

 

[Aleh]

SKATEBIRB

 

[neon/drifter]

Ok so no silksong that's cool.

The survivalists! Nice!

 

[BringBackSonics]

Axiom Verge 2. lets go

 

[foxuzamaki]

Wow that flew by

 

[Tom Nook]

Axiom Verge 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


yes!!!!

 

[Mik317]

indie stuff does nothing for me i guess.

oh well.

 

[Cloud-Hidden]

Pretty good presentation. I was expecting a few more surprises and some Shovel Knight love with KoC releasing today, but oh well!

 

[Deleted member 37917]

Not a great direct for me, maybe because the new sidebar game was very much expected. I hoped for outer wilds or disco elysium.

 

[new londo ruins]

New Axiom Verge! I still haven't played the original but I've been looking forward to doing so for ages

 

[Apopheniac]

In for Murder by Numbers, Supermash, and maybe Liberated.

 

[HeRinger]

Eh, kinda weak to be honest. Nothing got me excited.

 

[Deleted member 176]

axium verge looks way better than the first one visually

 

[Hero]

Axiom Verge 2 looking amazing.

 

[dipship31]

Meh nothing too exciting for me except Sports Story and curious how Dauntless is solo

 

[Glimpse_Dog]

How is Dauntless? I enjoy Monster Hunter and F2P tonight sounds pretty tempting.

 

[dorjjj]

Silksong died for Axiom Verge ;__;

 

[Twister]

So happy Skatebird is coming to Switch. I don't have a PC but I really wanted to play that

 

[Deleted member 37233]

This was a 10/10 just for Sports Story!

 

[Deleted member 11637]

For a hot fifteen seconds there I thought we were getting a Thomas Happ-made Metroid ;~;

Axiom Verge 2 still looks great tho.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

good show, definitely one of the best indie directs.

 

[ryushe]

Was hoping for news on Silksong but yeah, nothing really for me.

 

[KingWillance]

Can't believe I'm only learning about Murder by Numbers, feels like a game made specifically for me.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Axiom Verge 2, Sports Story, dreamescape. Some cool stuff. Sports Story is my most hope

 

[banter]

I was not expecting this presentation to have as many games excite me as it did. They killed it from the start with sports story then closed big with axiom verge 2. Amazing.

 

[Durden]

AV2!!!!! Fuck YES

 

[Lylo]

Sports Story for me, i guess...

 

[Piston]

Silksong may be big enough to just be presented at The Game Awards.

Sports Story is my only sure buy from what I saw.

 

[Infcabbage]

I wish I enjoyed top-down shooter-type games there seem to be so many of those coming out and a lot of them look really neat. Axiom Verge 2 looks rad as hell tho.

 

[Comic Obsessed]

It was an okay Indie Direct. The first announcement (Sports Story) was the best no doubt but I sadly didn't like Axiom Verge that much to be excited for the sequel.

 

[Egida]

Pretty meh, but to be honest, only Silksong could have satisfied me.

 

[Cloud-Hidden]

How is Dauntless? I enjoy Monster Hunter and F2P tonight sounds pretty tempting.

I played it in pretty early access on PC a long time ago, and really enjoyed my time with it. I'll be excited to jump back in now that I know they've been steadily improving it for a while.

 

[starsleep3]

This was great. Lots of cool surprises in there. Well done.
(Quite excited for Strangers Wrath HD, loved it last gen.)

 

[Hero of Legend]

It was alright. The ending reveal didn't live up to Cadence of Hyrule or Ori by a long shot IMO.

 

[Deleted member 864]

Damn at no Silksong.

 

[Proteus]

Sports Story
Supermash
Axiom Verge 2
More Streets of Rage 4

A pretty good indie direct for me.

Might try out Duantless as well.

 

[Lightjolly]

Now, is Axiom Verge worth a go?

 

[Lotus]

Well, Sports Story was cool at least

 

[Deleted member 8791]

good show, definitely one of the best indie directs.

Click to shrink...

Agreed, seriously interested in at least half the stuff shown. They nailed the format too.

 

[Deleted member 58846]

What's going on with Silksong?

 

[NotLiquid]

Nice set of announcements. I like how a lot of the devs got to introduce their own games. Axiom Verge 2 came out of nowhere.

Silksong died for Axiom Verge ;__;

Click to shrink...

Hollow Knight, like Undertale, feels like it's too big to just be an "Indie Direct" game anymore. Game's a sales juggernaut and has consistently been charting on the eShop. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets a spotlight either at TGA or in the next major Direct.

 

[SiG]

Not a great direct for me, maybe because the new sidebar game was very much expected. I hoped for outer wilds of disco elysium.

I have a feeling...all of these recent indie publisher fallouts have been having them on edge, so they were cautious to curate and show from publishers/developers who have good standing. (I still feel bad for what happened to Thomas Happ with Badland Games.)

I do think this Indie Direct dragged a little compared to others. That said, the multiple shadow drops (Talos and Dauntless) and some genuine great announcements (Sports Story, AV2) make me believe there will be another Indie Direct earlier next year.

 

[Magic-Man]

Man, no Parkitect or Outer Wilds. Pretty good indie direct otherwise.

 

[TubaZef]

A bit underwhelming, I think I was expecting too much, Cadence of Hyrule that one time kinda set the bar really high.

Axiom Verge 2 and Sports Story were nice surprises.
Also, lots of timed exclusives...

 

[Deleted member 10737]

What's going on with Silksong?

Click to shrink...

i think that's too big for an indie direct. will get a new trailer or shadow drop at a regular direct.

 

[Diarrhea Day-Lewis]

My problem is while owning all 3 systems, it's hard to get excited over switch versions even tho they are portable while having Games Pass and expecting many of them to land there

 

[Saikyo]

That was very underwhelming...well there are gonna be more directs next year.

 

[Deleted member 32018]

Was the better of the 2 "directs" today imo, some interesting stuff in there!
