Earlier today, Nintendo’s Nindies direct announced 14 indie games that will be releasing onto the Nintendo Switch. The direct lasted a little over 10 minutes, but it was packed with exciting new games. Developers such as Devolver and Adult Swim Games were among those mentioned.
The list of games announced are as follows:
- Mark of the Ninja Remastered
- Fantasy Strike
- Just Shapes and Beats
- Garage
- Pool Panic
- Bomb Chicken
- Lumines Remastered
- Reigns: Kings and Queens
- Light Fall
- West of Loathing
- Pode
- The Messenger
- Bad North
- The Banner Saga 3
It is also worth noting that The Banner Saga 1 and 2 were also announced to be coming to the system as well.
After the stream concluded, Nintendo took to Twitter to announce that Hyper Light Drifter will be making its debut on Nintendo Switch this summer 2018. Fans were ecstatic to hear that this game would finally be coming in a handheld version due to the cancellation of both Wii U and PlayStation Vita versions.

Fans had also been hoping for an announcement of a port for the 2017 hit platformer, Hollow Knight. However, prior to this direct, developer Team Cherry took to Twitter to state that they will not be featured. However, news about their progress on the Switch version was promised to be announced sometime later this week.
