Yeeeeeah this game is doomed.  It's a touch screen only game, meaning that - despite the fact the tv mode is as far as we can tell completely automatic - the game is handheld only.  Which means they so profoundly could. not. be. assed. that they didn't put in any kind of basic button controls so that it could function in TV mode. 

It was designed orignally as a touch game so it does make sense that they are using the touch feature again

Of course they could have put in some effort to add button functionality, but this doesn't mean this game will sell poorly

My reasoning for it doing poorly is two fold:

1) if they didn't care enough to put in even basic controls to make sure it is fully compatible with the system's design, I have little faith it will be promoted, optimized in such ways as it should be, or in any way handled with care in the lead up to release, release, or follow up period. 

2) it will be impossible to play in the most prominent mode of the device, looking to be the only game with that.  Even Super Bomberman R - a fairly low budget game by freaking Konami - works on all permutations of the Switch.

In short, I fully anticipate sales failure and complete forgottenness here.  Same with nearly any touch-screen-only game that shows up here.  Not that many will, the ecosystem of a console has never sat well with most mobile phone devs (who make nearly all touch screen only games).

Nindies in 3 minutes



Around the Network

Steamworld Dig 2 is a big announcement in my opinion.All in all, indie support on the Switch seems extremely solid, maybe even more than PS4.Looking good so far for Nintendo.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I'm set with third parties for the rest of the year with the Nindies Showcase, Runner 3, Steamworld Dig 2, not Advance Wars, etc.

That was really damn good.



Superb direct! So pumped to see Yooka finally officially confirmed. Now waiting for that damn release date.



Anyone have the full list of which Nindies were announced?

Edit: thanks Twi
