Wait what? You're serious? My word.
I do hope this grabs the attention of a lot of indies, especially those with some kijd of ambition. I already like that we are seeing things like Yooka-Laylee (still bitter about the Wii U fiasco though), FAST RMX, Snake Pass, and Freedom Planet 2 (ok, not as ambitious but looks excellent so far), hopefully the price can help make the Switch a great destination for good indies and encourage indies to take a chance on design. Also, Nintendo should step in when an indie is substantial enough and give such indies a boxed release. Yooka-Laylee, Snake Pass, and FAST RMX would all be great to have sitting on a shelf.
