Not a person who cares much about Indies, have played some gave on PS+ and some remakes of games I liked.

Still, good that they are still having success.

I wouldn't say that Switch is lacking big games. In my opinion it has enough for this year on an industry perspective and on a Nintendo perspective too, because Nintendo has become a console for Nintendo exclusives over the years. If you're a Wii U owner, not so much, due to the ports. But since Wii U went down the pan, most of those ports have the same value as new.

However, I'd say that it might become a problem next year. It's the same question I did on another topic: After Zelda, Mario, Splatoon, MK, Smash, etc all released in 2 years, what else Nintendo has to show to compete against Sony?

Pokemon is another story, though. Nintendo releases 4 Pokemon for Switch and the system sells 80m easy, I wouldn't deny that, however I feel as if Nintendo has used all its cards. From 2019 on, specially competing against the new generation of consoles, I guess Nintendo will keep highlighting indies more and more.

Depends on what you like. If you only buy the big games then yeah Switch hasn't had anything all year. Then again lots of people have bought Kirby, Mario Tennis, Labo, Donkey Kong, Octopath - all well over a million with digital in just a few months. Personally I've bought 3 indies and Mario+Rabbids(at $30) this year. I'll get Octopath and DK later on when they are $30 or less as these days I am very picky about what I will pay $60 for. I haven't bought indie games because there was nothing else to buy though. I still haven't played through Zelda, I have more Mario I want to play, and I could always play more Mario Kart and Splatoon so I've got plenty to play just from the four Nintendo games I bought last year. I've bought a bunch of indie games cuz there are awesome indie games on Switch. If I felt like spending the money I would buy several more indie games that have come out this year. A handheld is the perfect system for playing indie games, regardless of how many big major games you buy. Hell over the winter I might buy a couple of the indie games I want instead of Smash and wait until I get really desperate to play Smash before I buy it later on.

Neat. Will have to see if 3D Dark Souls can mirror the 2D Dark Souls when/if it gets released on Switch.

4;1 cose is intendo :p

Yup, no reason at all to play indie titles on PS4. PS4 owners are true hardcore gamers and only AAA+++ games are worthy of their precious time.

I'm guessing part of the reason behind this is that on Switch new indie games like Dead Cells can more easily get and retain the spotlight because there isn't as much competition on the platform yet. On other platforms a lot of games end up getting lost quite quickly because there's just so many games competing for attention at all time, whereas on the Switch the marketplace isn't as oversaturated yet, which I think is great.

I honestly hope that Nintendo keeps the number of new games released on the platform each week at manageable levels, so games like Dead Cells can succeed to this extent.

I only read whatever topics come up on the hot topics section, on the front page. I never visit the actual forums. As for IGN, i just pick up the few stories that are shown on my Facebook page. I don't go to vg sites for vg news, for the most part.

It certainly has impact my perception of value for indie games. I haven't paid for an indie game in 2+ years on PS4. Why would I buy them knowing that good ones are going to be free on PS+ or Twitch Prime.

I bought Oceanhorn and Has Been Heroes on Switch, but that was more out of wanting to have something to play on the device rather than really wanting to play those games.

I have this game on Steam and its pretty damn good. Doesn't surprise me at all that its outselling other consoles, this is a growing trend and it's not stopping any time soon. N
