So I've largely avoided the digital space for this console focusing more on it's bigger budget exclusive releases, but i'm looking to change that. i'm also a multi console owner so if a game is multi-platform, i tend to buy them on PS4.

so are there any good indie releases that are exclusive to the switch? I have FAST RMX already if that counts.

Cheers

Snipperclips is considered indie? Lots of discussion about it lately

Play snipperclips anyway

Is Wandersong console exclusive because that's pretty great and I never see people talking about it. :(

Blaster Master Zero is also on 3DS, but the Switch version is 60FPS so it's way better on there.

Switch doesn't have a ton of full-on indie exclusives (there are very, very few of these on any console these days), but it does have a ton of console-exclusive indies that are also on PC.

Literally zero chance, the developer said as much (although this was back at launch, I may have missed something since ???)

That was around the time they were working on the Japanese localization for Golf Story, currently there are still no plans to port to more platforms for Golf Story as the devs are busy making a new Switch game.

Golf Story has a strong start, but overstays its welcome and doesn't quite deliver greatness in either the "golf" or "story" aspects. I finished it, and while it's nowhere near my beloved Advance Tour, it's a solid game that I hope did well enough to encourage the developer to further evolve and improve it with a sequel.

The Messenger is console exclusive to Switch right now I believe.

It's my GOTY.

No one has said Just Beats And Shapes. So I'm going to say it.

"Get Just Beats And Shapes. It's awesome."

The OP is clearly asking about Indie games on Switch that aren't on PS4, so the existence of a PC version is not a reason to not suggest a game.

And not the other way around. Steam has over 22,000 titles with the indie tag. Switch has 1596 titles all together as of today. If indies on a dockable affordable portable are your thing, I would recommend a Surface Go. Hardware will be a little more but software will be way less over time.
