Nintendo has just wrapped up the ninnies their showcase of all the upcoming indie titles going to the switch so let's talk about the 5 that I am most hyped about and we're gonna kick things off with a game that was honestly a throwaway instant winner as far as I'm concerned and that is shovel knight king of cards now something I've really loved about the shovel knight series isn't just how the actual gameplay is a great recreation of some my favorite classics growing up but it's how with every single character DLC they've done they've reinvented the game to almost feeling like an entirely new title and that is no different with the gameplay that we saw for king of cards now entirely new gameplay and new stages isn't enough for you something else that was announced about this game that's a little more unique is the addition of a card minigame it actually looks like something kind of out of one of the ps1 Final Fantasies like triple triad I don't know it's just more gameplay more new stuff shovel knight is just always a winner to me so definitely hyped moving on one of the more unique games that really stood out to me at the ninh DS was floor kids now to be honest one of the main reasons why this game really appeals to me is because I've accepted the fact that EA is never doing an SSX in the style of tricky again I don't really care about the racing or surviving going down a mountain but I care about is mixing up tricks and getting the highest amount of points possible which well obviously for kids isn't a snowboarding game looks like incorporates that kind of mechanic but with a rhythm style game which I'm actually really intrigued by on top of that the game also has a pretty interesting art style and original beats provided by Kid Koala so definitely be something worth checking out later this holiday season when the game is going to be a timed exclusive for the switch back when the switch was first announced one genre that I immediately knew I had to have on this system was co-op beat'em ups and then Indies graced us with not one but two new games the one I'm most excited for being dragon marked for death now this game is coming from inti creates a dev team I've talked about before responsible for other hit retro style Indies like blaster master zero and azure striker gunvolt and just in the same style as those this new game from them is a side-scrolling beat-em-up that supports up to full four player co-op with four very different-looking playable characters the art style is simple enough that I think it's gonna look great even on the portable screen so it's gonna be the perfect choice for a portable co-op game using joy cons now one other game I want to mention really quick is the other beat'em up they announced which is kind of a runner-up to the rest of the games on this list and that's now parchments which is also a beat'em up game but a bit different style it's not a side scroller it's more like the top-down gauntlet style where you're focused more on range attacks where you're playing a group of wizards both these games are slated to come out during the winter dragon marked for death isn't exclusive for the switch one-line parchments is currently up in the air probably at least a timed exclusive now if before the navy showcase you asked me if and in my favorite games would have been a shooter for the switch i probably think you're crazy but well here we are now with the reveal of more fees law now while this game isn't a true exclusive for the switch it's a timed exclusive I think it plays perfectly well and it was becoming Nintendo's kind of shtick when it comes to shooters where instead of focusing on kind of more traditional blow stuff up modern-day far-future bloody war all that kind of stuff it's more focused than kind of just zany weird things which was made evident by splatoon in more fees laws case the way the game works is when you shoot an opponent instead of them taking damage the part of the body you shoot gets smaller and yours gets larger making you a bigger target and also just results in really crazy-looking things like people with giant heads but no torsos and tiny legs at the same time that you're getting larger you also have a sort of team mascot avatar that gets bigger as well and the winning team is based on which avatar got larger so you're not actually killing opponents you're just constantly morphing sizes and changing in just this really hilarious looking game that I think is gonna be a really fun mix up shooter for the switch's library and then after all these games and more there was one more huge announcer for the nin DS probably the biggest thing to come for it this is a game that we already kind of knew was happening but now we actually of a trailer and a title we're finally getting a new No More Heroes Travis strikes again now if you've never played a No More Heroes game before or any title from suit of 51 there are some of the raunchiest filthiest goriest most insane games that were somehow exclusive originally to the Wii a Nintendo system and despite all these other aspects which made it a hilarious game it still managed to have a really fun and solid third person action experience they were great games that we just haven't seen a new one up since until now finally and to really even top this off it's not only a nuna war heroes game but they're actually crossing it over with other indie titles the only witch that we've actually had confirmed so far is hotline Miami which makes so much perfect sense we still don't have a whole lot of info just yet on how the well gameplay is the trailer we got was definitely more cinematic than actually showing us how it's going to play but the important bit is then we're getting a new No More Heroes it is coming out sometime next year is exclusive to the switch and I am so so happy
