Topic: Nintendo @ GamesCom 2019 - 30+ titles for Switch announced

[Order.RSS]

GamesCom is on this week. To be honest I don't know too much about this show, but Nintendo and Microsoft are both there to show games, and Google Stadia is there too.

Note: Indie World isn't exactly a new name. In Japan this name was used for the Indie Highlights/Indie Directs of the past.

Anyway on to the games announced:
-Risk of Rain 2 Roguelike, solo & squads, loots. Out this Summer from Hopoo Games & Gearbox.
-Eastward real-time combat, overhead adventure game. Earthbound vibes. Pixpil & Chucklefish. 2020.
-Freedom Finger 2 horizontal shooter. Cartoony. Music from Com Truise & more. Fall 2019.
-Röki gorgeous adventure game. Snowy landscapes & giant wolves. Love the aesthetic. Winter 2019.
-Torchlight II hack & slash game, get loot. Isometric view. Is this a Diablo clone? (Idk.) Panic Button is doing the port. Out September 3rd 2019.
-Skater XL Ragdoll animations look bad, but hey when there's no Skate 4/Tony Hawk??? Out 2020.
-Youropa gravity-defying 3D puzzle game. Reminds me of The Bridge, but in 3D. Winter 2019.
-SUPERHOT "the most innovative shooter in years". Time only moves when you move. Out today!
-Dungeon Defenders: Awakened multiplayer tower defence. Timed console exclusive, Feb 2020.
-The Touryst 3D puzzle platformer, new game from Shin'en! Very different, voxel-based artstyle. Love the lighting effects. Includes an in-game arcade which plays FAST Racing? November 2019.
-Skellboy  action game. Play as a skeleton, swap out bodyparts. December 3rd 2019.
-EarthNight 2D , Sonic-esque platformer on top of dragons. Something about how they've cut the trailer gives me a headache. Art style is unique though, like how the dragons look. Out this year.
-Hotline Miami Collection top down neon style action games from Dennaton/Devolver Digital. Out today!

Highlights reel:
-Blasphemous 2D action game. Ninja Gaiden x Castlevania? Out September 26th 2019.
-Close to the Sun first person... horror? Puzzle? Not sure. Out this year.
-Cat Quest II cartoony action rpg with cats! Fall 2019.
-Spiritfarer 2D game from the Jotun developers. Handdrawn art again looks like. Spring 2020.
-Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince puzzle platformer, well-known series. October 8th 2019.
-Creature in the Well stylish overhead action game. Think Furi on PS4. September 6th 2019.
-One Finger Death Punch 2 side-view brawler with stick figures. December 2nd 2019.
-Best Friend Forever take care of a shiba dog! February 14th 2020, perfect for Valentine's.
-Phogs! trippy puzzler. Basically Catdog, but it's 2 dogs instead. Assume chaotic co-op? Early 2020.
-What the Golf? what if you could launch everything like golf balls? Winter 2019.
-Kine spatial puzzle game, looking stylish! Out 2019.
-Hypercharge: Unboxed 1st person shooter with toy soldiers. Fun perspective? Winter 2019.
-Northgard action/strategy game? Hard to tell in this short time. Out November 26th 2019.
-Sparklite topdown Zelda ish gameplay, more action-oriented. Nice pixel art. Fall 2019.
-Munchkin: Quaked Quest action/rpg/dungeon crawler with cards. Presume co-op too? Fall 2019.

"One more thing":
-Ori and the Blind Forest - Definitive Edition gorgeous Metroid style game from Moon Studios, former Microsoft exclusive. Out September 27th 2019.

Not show today:
Hollow Knight: Silksong, Shovel Knight: King of Cards/Shovel Knight Showdown, Untitled Goose Game (we riot).

TL;DR: I'd figure the highlights for most people would be: Ori and the Blind Forest, SUPERHOT, Hotline Miami Collection, Risk of Rain 2, and The Touryst.
Personally I'm interested in seeing more from Eastward, Spiritfarer, Freedom Finger 2, Röki, and Creature In The Well.

I really enjoyed Risk of Rain, but haven't checked in on status for the sequel in quite some time. Keen to see how that turned out!

Will have to check out Ori and the Blind Forest. Looks like eshop only for now.
