During today’s Indie World presentation, Nintendo announced a plethora of games coming to the Switch console. From the 20 indies games shown, there will be something for everyone to look forward to ranging from noir-punk to action-adventure to soulslike to platformers. Here’s the list of games shown during today’s Nintendo presentation:
Another Crab’s Treasure: Developed by Aggro Crab, this crustacean-themed soulslike game puts you in an undersea world that’s on the verge of collapse. Playing as Kril the hermit crab, you will use the trash around you on the ocean floor as a shell to resist attacks from enemies larger than yourself. You will also go on a treasure hunt to discover the “dark secrets” behind the polluted ocean. There are over 50 potential shells to discover and plenty of dangerous enemies you will need to overcome. Another Crab’s Treasure will be released next year. It is also coming to Steam and “your favorite unconfirmed consoles.”
Noir-punk adventure game Gunbrella from Doinksoft and Devolver Digital was also announced. Here you play a woodsman on a quest for revenge, armed with the Gunbrella. During the game, your investigation becomes entangled with ghouls and gangsters, cops and cultists, and other bizarre characters in a world rapidly losing its natural resources. You will need to gather scraps and spare parts to upgrade your weapon to “glide, swing, dash, dive” and take out enemies in side-scrolling combat. Gunbrella launches on Nintendo Switch and PC next year. Releasing later today is Mini Motorways from Dinosaur Polo Club. In the game, you are given control of the city’s traffic problems. You will need to draw and build roads to create a metropolis and then redesign your city to keep the traffic flowing. You will need to carefully manage upgrades such as highways and those tricky roundabouts to meet changing demands. The game has nearly 4 million players on Apple Arcade, Mac, and PC and new free content is dropping for all today with the “Night Lights” Update. Ooblets, a farming game where you grow and train adorable little creatures called ooblets, is making its way onto Nintendo Switch this summer. As you cultivate a new life in the community of Badgetown, you will customize your character, befriend the locals, decorate your house, craft items, run your own shop, and have dance battles. Sounds like a roaring good time. You can also dress up your ooblet pals, play minigames and explore a variety of locations, each with its own unique characters, quests, items, and unique ooblets. The game is currently available via early access through the Epic Games Store and game preview on Xbox. Created by a one-person development team and prototyped as part of a school contest, ElecHead from Nama Takahashi is a 2D puzzle-platformer where you play as a small robot named Elec in a facility. In the game, you are on a mission to bring light back to the world. You will activate walls, floors, platforms, and switches by touching them and making electricity run through them.
