"No silksong" seems to be a very popular phrase in live chat
Fr lol
because Hallow Knight man.
There was also people talking about Pizza Tower and Deltarune not being there
Hollow Knight is by far my favourite game ever. Silksong is by far my most wanted game.
They should add additional updates to the upcoming Mario games in 2024 on this direct
Lots of very interesting games
👍
👍
Nice
Really nice
Nice

Lol my eyes confused "Howl" for "Hollow" for a moment and I though that Hollow Knight Silk Song was finally showed
@@cristianyh7963 I wish 😭
21:45 End
🙏
The people's champ
There were a lot of charming little games in this showcase -- my main regret is that some of the ones just in the montage at the end seemed like they deserved more time. I wanted a bigger spotlight on the geckos!!
Same!
It probably came down to who offered the most $$$
Yeah, it's not like this is TV with only a certain amount of time slots available. Just make it a 30 minute video instead of 20.
they been out is why just anniversary editions essentially
absolutely *insane* that the gecko game wasn't treated like the main feature it clearly was
Not much here I'm particularly crazy about, but I always appreciate the unique ideas indie devs bring to the table that Triple A otherwise wouldn't have. Beautiful art direction nine times out of ten too.
No additional details to the upcoming 2024 Mario games, no DLC for Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, no GameCube Nintendo Switch Online service, no Silksong, no updating Nintendo Switch profiles of adding 50 titles to the Nintendo Switch Play Activity profiles instead of 20 titles, no Metroid Prime 4, L Direct I only said that because people in the live chat during the stream were asking for Mario and Zelda games, so that’s why I implied the listings related to the Nintendo Direct so don’t take it serious
@@ThisGuyDannyyythis isn't a direct
@@ThisGuyDannyyy...aside from Silksong, you seem to have missed the entire point of Indie World...
Outer Wilds is one of the best games ever made and it’s finally on Switch
I think that Outer Wilds being ported was one of the biggest announcements here. I'm glad that new people are going to be able to experience one of my favourite games of all time! And there wasn't anything here that looked bad, at least. All were creative and have passion behind them!
I am so happy to see Outer Wilds finally on Switch. Please please, dont sleep on this gem of a game, even if you, on the first glance, can not see why it is so beloved, give it a try.
I feel like calling it a gem is a disservice, it's actually a masterpiece
Outer wilds came out on switch a long time ago
@@theelusivepootisberd7471no there was just a trailer for it. They didn’t realize how long it would take to optimize the physics engine so it took longer
What a journey...
@@theelusivepootisberd7471 Meaby you think of Outer Worlds? The Fallout in Space one? This is something diffrent.
Outer Wilds is peak gaming. If you’ve somehow managed to ignore it thus far, don’t keep sleeping on it!
If you expect no silksong, then you won’t be disappointed when no silksong
That’s how I came into this. Just knew there would be no Silksong news for today. Tomorrow for sure!
Lots of very interesting games, including some I've been really hoping to see! My one big criticism: a lot of those games were just shoved into the highlight reel at the end. This could have been a longer, fuller presentation! I would have loved a bit more spotlight on Gecko Gods, Passpartout 2, and the fascinating-looking Urban Myth Dissolution Center, just to name a few. Don't give such incredible looking gems the short shrift, ya know?
Yeah. Honestly the ones shown at the end reel were the most interesting to me.
Well Passpartout 2 comes out today anyway so It's not like It needed it, but I get what your saying. More in-depth look at what the game actually is cause even I don't know what it is based from here. But I'll just look up the trailer anyway
Gecko Gods had a full spotlight in a previous indie direct so that's probably why the only got the reel this time
ok
Just saw the gecko game was featured in the japanese indie world!
Outer Wilds !!!!!! I've waited for it to be released on Switch since it was first announced... So glad to finally see it here, it gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyed... My favourite game of the past ten years is finally here ! WOOHOO !
Outer Wilds and Shantae caught my attention. It's nice to see other indie projects, even if they're not my tastes. I might be a Hollow Knight fan, but please let other Indie Teams shine!
They should’ve announce Super Mario Land 1 or Super Mario Bros. Deluxe on the Nintendo Game Boy - Nintendo Switch Online service to count it as an indie game
@@ThisGuyDannyyy no
I'm so hyped for outer wilds!!!
First game caught my attention too
@ThisGuyDannyyy oh wow. Didn't knew nintendo, one of the big 3 in the gaming industry with thousands of employees, is an small independent company currently
Don't overlook Planet of Lana; I played it via Game Pass and it really is a charming little game. Shantae, Chimera Blade, and Urban Myth Dissolution are the ones I have my eye on from this presentation. Might grab that Outer Wilds physical version when it launches, too.
Yeah, I'll be getting Outer Wilds on physical too. Just put it on my Go and Steam Deck, but would love to have it on the Switch physically and on a portable that can play it longer. I'll be curious if the graphics will look exactly as they did in the trailer and what the frame rate will be. Should be at least 30 fps, hopefully higher; but definitely playable and enjoyable at a locked 30 or consistently around 30, especially on the smaller screen.
You are so right. Planet of Lana is such a underrated game. I also played and streamed the game by playing it from Game Pass and it was such a great game. I do hope there is a physical copy of this game
Planet of Lana was the one that caught my eye! And Braid of course… never had an XBox and I’ve always been interested since Indie Game: The Movie
@@geraldsimpson1973not underated, it was praised
I'll check that one out next.
I’ve never played a Shantae game before, but I’m REALLY excited for her fans. Anything is possible with time =).
Some really cool looking games AND Outer Wilds! This was really cool. Chat was being annoying as usual.
Looking forward for the February 2024 Direct. The last announcement of the segment would be either Mario Kart 9, a new Donkey Kong Country game or Metroid Prime 4.
Danny, that would be titles for Nintendo's next generation console, which probably won't be announced or launched till year 2025.
Chat is insane
It’s nice to see cool games from small teams getting the spotlight. But every time an Indie World happens I’m reminded of how awful the live chat is.
Everytime a silksong fan complains it gets delayed by another minute
@@atwistedb It’s never coming out then :(
@@atwistedbI hope it gets delayed till 2025! Just to annoy the silksong fans
Same. People in chat just spam stuff that won't happen like a new console announcement or Smash 6.
At this point Silksong is too big to be announced at an Indie World imo. I suspect if it does get an announcement it'll be at something like The Game Awards
Hyped to finally play Outer Wilds! And On Your Tail looks fun-love Humble Games’ work. Others like Highland Song and Backpack Hero are a maybe-on-sale for me. Just doesn’t seem like there’s enough there in mechanics. I’m excited that more indie studios are investing in demos, though!! So nice when they respect that we all have different tastes in art style and gameplay feel, especially on switch where there’s no return policy 😅
Yeah, I also have On your tail and Highland Song as my personal highlights. Backpack Hero not so much, but it's still an interesting proposal
So excited to finally be able to get Moonstone Island on Switch! Been wanting that on Switch since I tried it on Steam!
How was it on steam?
@@helghanmerc2765obviously better than on 10 fps Switch edition
Shantae? AND A GAME ABOUT GECKOS? Peak direct
but when is shantae 6
GECKO GAME IS GOATED
Outer Wilds is one of the best games ever made and it’s finally on Switch
So glad Outer Wilds is finally coming to switch. This will just give it more attention too. It really deserves it, as it really is, to me at least, the greatest game ever made. I get it isn’t for everyone, but I love it
OUTER WILDS LETS GO! This game deserves so much praise. Such a great experience.
Howl and A Highland Song both have a very heartfelt and warm charm about them, I think.
I do love these indie showcases, but I can't be the only one who's sometimes thinking "and now, explain it to me like I'm not 5 years old"
20 years seems like a sweet spot for many great game series to return. Metroid Dread, Paper Mario TTYD, and now Shantae.
Outer Wilds looks like so much fun! It may be my favorite on here, at first glance. I appreciate these Devs so much!
Shantae Advance and Blade Chimera were the highlights in this whole direct for me
I instantly knew it was a team Lady bug game when I saw the gameplay
Outer Wilds is one of the best games ever made and it’s finally on Switch..
Agree
A Highland Song looks and sounds beautiful, looking forward to it!
Shantae, A Highland Song, Urban Myth Dissolution Center, and Outer Wilds all have my attention.
Play Outer Wilds. Legitimately the greatest game ever, to me at least. Go in blind and be patient with it, cause it can be frustrating at times, just know you’re always progressing, even if you don’t feel like it. It’s really satisfying and the narrative is one of the most beautiful stories ever told in anything. Enjoy
@@anabenskywalker122 Thanks so much! I have heard good things about it and similar "go in blind and be patient" sentiments, so I'll be sure to do that when I pick up a physical copy in 2024.
@@bubmarioif you get really stuck, i found the reddit community to be helpful if you post where you are! Googling puzzle solutions can be dicey if you care about avoiding spoilers, just a heads up, since the plot and puzzles are intricately tied together :) i hope you like it! I'm also in the "it's my game of the decade" crew. It's not perfectly coded and there's some jank controlling your ship, but I think the world building and pacing more than make up for that!
I seriously love indie games! So many unique ideas and concepts, and brilliant art design! Video games are such a creative medium, and I’m so glad indie developers are here to take full advantage of that!!
Love seeing new exciting Indie Games, but Howl has me very intrigued by the ideas and art style alone. It’s always the underrated gems that I feel deserve more attention and love. Excited to give that game a go!
Just downloaded the demo so I don't forget about it. Going to give it a jam after I've slept for a while.
Yes, Howl's art style is definitely gorgeous
Blade Chimera's hella dope, same for A Highland Song & A Star named EOS. The former is my most definite highlight of this Showcase!
Here's a tip for all you Silksong fans: If you don't expect Silksong in showcases like this, not only will you not be as pained when it doesn't show up, but it'll be much more exciting when it *does* show up.
It's hard to not think about it when chat reminds you 4 times a second.
Showcase starts at 29:45 if anyone's wondering after the stream. Edit: now it starts at 00:00!
might wanna update this comment :P
Not anymore
If anyone hasn't played Outer Wilds yet: it's truly one of the best pieces of media ever made.
A highland song looks very nice, plus out wilds and that gecko gods one. Very solid indie world!
*outer wilds
@@noahsabadish3812 ah yes
Gecko gods is gunna be so neat
Highland song caught my eye big time!
If only if the song had some silk....
Shantae was the best thing to open up with. But no "one last thing" caught me by surprised.
Same. There’s almost always a “one last thing”.
They often don’t do that in indie worlds
Outer Wilds on switch is exciting and the new Shantea game looks like a good reason to get into that series! A lot of the other stuff also looks cool, but unfortunately none of it really piqued my interest, but it seems like stuff that could be big in certain communities so that’s nice. Happy gameing everyone!
i always found it funny people say nintendo hates indie devs and fan devs and then when nintendo has a whole entire presentation dedicated to boosting indie devs, the same people do nothing but complain about "WHERES SILKSONG WE DONT CARE ABOUT THIS OTHER GARBAGE" sounds like nintendo cares about indie devs way more than the entire internet lol
It's sad that people hate on these games without even giving them a shot.
@@SaltyToad00 Backpack hero looks like a nice bit of fun despite what the toxic chat has to say
@@BlaizeTheDragon That Shantae game caught my interest, even though I've never played a single game in that series.
I never turn chat on during these things. It's usually just people whining about there not being Silksong and calling anything that isn't Silksong boring or trash. Really disrespectful to the devs whose games are being featured.
Stop listening to people.
Outer Wilds is one the best games of all time for me, very unique and I'd recommend everyone play through it!
Howl looks pretty interesting so the shadow drop and demo is nice, definitely gonna check it out
A lot of solid looking titles to look forward to!
Blade Chimera has my attention. I can see the Lodoss War influence from their previous game, and it looks good. *Edit: I’m surprised the Braid Anniversary Edition is still alive.*
I feel likee this showcase was mostly catered to me since we got mostly Mystery games during this Indie Showcase! I'll have to check out the free demo for Death Trick Double Bind after this showcase! Edit: Made comment more specific
Começa em 29:41
Thank you!
Where’s Mario?
@@ThisGuyDannyyyHe died
Always excited for new Shantae games! One of the best 2D platformers on modern consoles IMO.
Developed for the Gameboy Advance! 😉
Would DEFINITELY recommend Moonstone Island. Just finished it on my Steam Deck, not 100% yet, but a pretty good game. Thougj, i must warn you: leveling up monsters is pretty hard, as the EXP does not accumulate
"the EXP does not accumulate"... What does that mean?
@@julioagua i mean that whatever you Spirit's level is and whatever the enemy's is, it does not benefit you. For example, your monster's lvl is 30 or something and the monster's is the same, it'll give you the same amount of EXP as if you were lvl20 or lvl10.
I see... thanks @@wamengxiong0409
Core Keeper is really fun, love that game. Not sure if I'd be into On Your Tail but that rat shirt is incredible. A rodent hero in Backpack Hero? Sign me up. Passpartout 2, sweet!
Every single game here looks worth checking out! All with their unique visual styles and tones to them. I have nothing but praise for the passion of the teams behind these games. Although, Outer Wilds is certainly my favourite title among these gems and I'm glad for it's port!
Shantae advanced looks really impressive and I'm really looking for it on getting that game!
That was awesome about shantae advance coming to switch. I'm looking forward to the physical copy
I’m quite happy Outer Wilds finally made it. I remember it was announced for switch a while back.
One thing, play Outer Wilds, but with out spoilers, but PLAY THIS MASTERPIECE, you will memory it for the rest of your life, as one of the best games of evertime, he can be liked by Zelda BotW fans !
Outer Wilds is one of the best and most unique games I have ever played...give it at least 23min and you'll be hooked!
I bet you'll be hooked in 22 minutes instead!
@@DoctorTex I added that one minute to try and grasp what just happened :D
get your ship codes then play 22 minutes tbf
BRO WHO DID THAT FIRE BEAT AT THE END THAT WAS HEAAATT
I KNOW right!? Shazam and Google failed me. I need this song! 😭
Memorable Games knew *exactly* what they were doing
I’m so happy Planet of Lana is coming to Switch! Got to play the game on Game Pass earlier this year and it was a real treat!
Some of these look incredibly stylistic and fun, cant wait.
Dear Nintendo, there has got to be a better way of reuploading the stream so that there isn’t 30 minutes of nothing at the start
Backpack hero has been such a fun game! Cool to see it land on switch with 1.0!!
Highlight of this indie world
Holy crap! Outer Wilds finally! I had given up on seeing that one until Switch 2. And a Braid port? I wasn't expecting to hear about that game ever again. These are nice surprises even if there's still no word about Silksong.
this was a pretty solid direct, some i'm not interested in but others might. biggest highlights for me were Blade Chimera, Shantae Advance and Core Keeper.
Shantae and blade chimera look pretty fun, will be looking into those the most. How can I pass up shantae and badass Cyberpunk Alucard
Outer Wilds is one of the best games ever made and it’s finally on Switch.
That music in Highland Song was beautiful
Fun fact, the first song featured in the trailer is by a band called Talisk (I’ve been bingeing their albums for the last couple months; I was so excited to hear a familiar tune!) Look up more of their work, you won’t be disappointed. ✌️
They talk about Beltane in the game, but they didn't get any songs by the band Beltaine into the game. What a shame D:
Blade Chimera just oozes Symphony of the Night inspirations, and I am all for it!
I didn't even know this was going to happen! Wish I could have watched this live & chatted! Might comment more later!
Shantae mostly carried the Indie World for me, but I was pleasantly surprised by On Your Tail; precisely the kind of stuff I hope to see from Indie Worlds
On Your Tail looks pretty cool! I love investigation games so that's right up my alley! And Backpack Hero seems fun! And looks very charming ❤ Many good and creative games in this, loved it!
Hopefully not like Nier Automata was supposed to be, because it was crap.
@@Daremodesu What does this have to do with Nier Automata?
0:53 Shantae Wonder
I wasn't expecting this to start out with a new Shantae. On Your Tail is my most anticipated. Also have my eye on Blade Chimera and A highland song. Moonstone Island actually looks really sick, too.
I’m surprised that a lot of ppl don’t know the difference between Indie World and Nintendo Direct. Indie world talks about 3rd parties games so we are not going to see MarioKart9 or a Zelda Rise of the Dark Kingdom yeah I’m sure whoever made Super Barbie mega shopping mall will make something like Zelda games for us lol. Nintendo Direct features both Nintendo made games such as Mario, Zelda, Pokémon and other licensed Nintendo games and a mixed of 3rd parties games.
This is easily my favourite Indie World they’ve ever done! I’m interested in over half the genes that were shown! Great stuff.
What a start! More Shantae? YES PLEASE!!
as a mystery/detective genre fan i feel particularly well fed, definitely curious about On Your Tail and Death Trick. and urban myth dissolution center is giving Yuppie Psycho vibes which is def a positive for me? indie worlds are the best
OUTER WILDS RELEASE DATE YEEEAAHHHHH
We'll have to see how it runs on switch, but Outer Wilds is one of the best games I've ever played. Seriously don't sleep on it. There's nothing else like it.
I love Moonstone Island, So happy it's gonna be on switch. That gecko game seems really fun, so does that Italian mystery game
Blade Chimera looks awesome. Looking forward to that one. And the final announcement 😊
Starts at 29:40
Thank you
@@kaywhite6195 your welcome
@NintendoAmerica - I understand wanting to start the feed ahead of the showcase, but would it be too much to ask for the dead 1/2 hour to be edited out after the showcase ends?
Don't worry they usually do that less than 20 minutes after it ended
They already cut that out
So stoked about Braid Anniversary finally coming out
I always adore Shantae, and I appreciate what a monumentally unusual situation Shantae Advance is in, but if the monkey and elephant are the only forms in the game then I will be a little disappointed. Still getting it day one though lol.
The chat was toxic, as always.
If I had a coin for each time....
VIDEO STARTS 30 MINUTES IN.
Dude easily the best indie world in YEARS. Outer wilds, shantae, corr keeper looks amazing, i straight up bought howl and backback hero already, and death trick is so fun already. Nice job on this one guys!
Outer Wilds it's an experience! Highly recommended!!
Wish for a Shantae physical release on GBA 🤞🏼
Limited run games already announced that months ago
@@politicalchannel66 wait what? how come its not on Steam yet then?
@@politicalchannel66never will trust that company
Because it not done. It was in their showcase months ago. Way forward said without limited run it won't never happen. Look up limited run games 2023 e3
@@BlueFlagAlpha then I guess you shouldn't play this game they funded it
Core keeper looks very interesting I hope it’s really good!
new shantae?! i've been hoping for more, and we're finally getting it! i can't wait to play it, shantae is easily one of my favorite series, thank you wayforward and nintendo! ^_^
Great Indie World Direct! I'm pretty interested in some of the games that were featured on here! I'll give it a 7.5/10!
I NEED THIS TRACK SO BAAD 49:26
These always have an impressive variety of titles in ‘em. Might pick up the backpack dungeon one.
It's beautiful to see how games of all over the world get a spotlight on this
I was hoping Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution would be here, even though I thought it was kind of a slim chance, but it IS HERE!
This was pretty solid 👍
Excited for Moonstone Island and apparently Outer Wilds (as I’ve heard and am hearing so much about it). I hope they optimized it to have no lag on Switch, though!
Looking forward on Core Keeper, im into multiplayer cooperative games
3-4 games I'll definately be getting and maybe the same again that I'll be keeping an eye on. Not hype but a solid presentation.
Outer Wilds is one of the best games ever made and it’s finally on Switch
The first game got me excited
Here I thought I could watch the indie world stream with no spoilers for once, but nope! Here comes KZhead recommendation, here to show me a game that I didn’t even know was in development and was shown in the video. Thanks KZhead.
Great indie showcase, blade chimera, shantae, double blind, outer wilds, urban myth are on top of my list. Will check out all the demos too though
Not really happy about the pretty important Outer Wilds spoilers but I suppose they have to sell the game somehow.
every trailer try not to spoil outer wilds challenge
For non hollow knight fans out there getting fed up with people from our fandom begging for silksong I'd like to sincerely apologize for their behavior 🥲 Not all hollow knight fans are like that
Nobody but you has ever thought even for a second about the Hollow Knight fandom.
I'll concede and admit I was among those hoping for Silksong, but I would have also settled for Crowsworn. On another note, I wish my GF was still alive. I get the feeling she would have loved A Highland Song.
@@AzureMoebius22 I'm sorry for your loss. I hope that you enjoy the game, and that it brings you some good feelings and memories.
We want Silksong
