Keeping the great pace of indie games from 2018. Im loving!
Wow! I expected the regular Directs to be good (like the one in February), but I had no idea the indies would be really good too. Games that look interesting:
Cuphead! - Hell of a way to start off a direct. I was considering getting an XB1 for a few games like this. Looks like I won't need to now.
My Friend Pedro - That just looks like a badass run and gun.
Katana Zero - Going to wait to see how it reviews, but looks like it has potential.
Rad - Double Fine always has some interesting concepts. Execution varies, but I'm keeping an eye on this one.
Pine - Reminds me a lot of Breath of the Wild. Doubt it will be as good as the real thing, but what is really? If it's executed well enough could be worth a play.
Blaster Master Zero II - I really love the first NES game. This looks fun.
Stranger Things II - Looks fun. I dig both Stranger things and this style of game.
Cadence of Hyrule - Hell yes! Game looks addictive and a Zelda theme makes it all the better.
Of course, I say all this with the idea that these games will have a physical release. The ones that get a physical release I am very likely to buy, while if it doesn't have a physical release then it's a skip. The only exception I see myself making is with Cuphead. I may eventually just buy this digitally, but I will probably wait a while just to see if they make a physical version anyway.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

Master Thread, Game of the Year/Decade
Switch Will Be #1 All Time
Zelda Will Outsell Mario (Achieved)
How Much Will MH Rise sell?
My Bet With Metallox
I love how so many of these games are going for the low-poly but polished look of a PS2 on steroids. A lot of these games are AA in their production values. All those devs that used to make 3DS and DS games are coming to Switch as Indie devs. That's a fantastic turn of events, because all these games look at least a little interesting. Sure, not all of them will be must buys, but a few of them might. All of them will at least be decent.
Also, if anybody likes couch co-op dungeon crawlers check out Crawl. That game is nuts!

The lack of the goose game is indeed a point against it. But otherwise it's not that bad. Cuphead and Cryptodancer of Zelda are nice, and the Pedro shooter looks fun as well. I would've loved to see some japanese rpgs as well, but you can't have anything in one go. They will most likely do another one in a couple of months.
Overland looks very interesting, turn-based strategy games are very welcome.
