I don't want to say that this doesn't mean much, but it doesn't mean much.

lol you're right that it doesn't mean much but I have been saying for awhile now that they will have strong indie support and I still believe they will.

When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I definitely think they will. It feels like Switch will become THE indie platform. Unity and Unreal 4 were huge wins.

There's another indie studio that has shown interest on the Switch: the makers of the SteamWorld franchise, Image & Form.

We've had it since early 2016 :)

Can't comment on specs, I'm afraid. But Nintendo are definitely not skimping on power!

There's a good possibility GameMaker Studio 2 will support the Nintendo Switch. So that'll increase the likelihood of indie games as well.

yep like ive been saying for like 2 years, strong indie, Japanese & kid/family/casual support is likely and if things go well than western support on par with Wii U's first year would give it an overall well rounded library and constant flow of games even if it doesnt get all the multiplats.

We all know that when Third Parties don't support platforms, indies will still support them.
