Indie games just feel really good on a handheld. Being lower budget, they feel a natural fit for those of us used to handheld games not looking as big budget as their console counterparts. They also tend to be the sort of game to benefit a lot from the flexibility of play style the Switch's switching offers. Nintendo eShop on Switch creates this sort of nostalgic market experience where you can buy a decent quality game that feels like the level of quality you're accustomed to with a portable console, but for prices you haven't seen even from the major publishers' budget titles in years if not decades. Remember when you could go to the store and buy a $20 Game Boy game? Those days are kind of back now. It feels good. Combine that with Nintendo's typically nostalgic audience and indie developer's similar affinity for designing games with nostalgic aesthetics and gameplay styles, and you have a recipe to get a lot of gamers buying a lot of indie games.
