I feel like we don't discuss these games very much here, but there have been quite a few good ones lately. I actually can't keep up with them.
I've been trying to support the ones that interest me, though, especially when the Switch version has some real effort put into it.
I was super-pumped for Overcooked, the 1-4 player co-op cooking party game, but I've heard that the framerate is uneven, which is a big no-no for me. Supposedly, the dev is going to patch it. Once they do, I'm in!
Instead, I'll probably pick up Thumper this week. It's supposed to be a great port of a great game. Locked 60fps!
Death Squared is also supposed to be a great co-op puzzle game, in the Snipperclips and Overcooked vein. Although the aesthetic leaves me a bit dry, that's a definite pick-up.
People also seem to really like De Mambo, an action game with a Wario Ware-esque single-player and a Smash Bros.-esque multiplayer. You basically control a ball which can jump and can perform three different attacks (with different length presses on the same button). I really want to like this game, but the videos seem really unappealing to me. The physics seem weird, and who wants to play as a freakin' ball? Everybody says that it's a really good game, though!
There's also a digital conversion of the Speed card game, which is a great idea, but it looks incredibly low-rent. There's an Othello game by Arc System Works, which is also a pretty good idea, if not very exciting.
And I just saw a trailer the other day for Infinite Golf, or something? Basically, a Mini-Golf game with easy course creation and sharing from Zen Studios, the pinball dudes. There goes one of my surefire million-seller game ideas! I'll pick it up if it's well done, though.
As far as upcoming stuff, Duck Game and Towerfall are must-have multiplayer games, and Super Mega Baseball 2 and Nidhogg 2 are also rumored to be in the works. Those would be amazing, as well. Edmund McMillen is also coming out with a spiritual successor to Super Meat Boy called The End Is Nigh.
Anyway, which Nindies have you guys enjoyed? Which ones are you interested in?

All good picks! Lots of good stuff in the future. I really hope that devs take their time with the conversions. I hate bad ports. By the way, does Cave Story count? I just started playing it for the first time. It's good! Dragon's Trap is also on my list. @r_hjortSpeaking of adventure games, Bulb Boy looks creepily promising. @deathly_hallowsI somehow forgot about this game! |

A blast from the past! I'll throw in some recs for Enter the Gungeon, a twin-stick roguelike shooter, and Party Golf, an amazing multiplayer with Smash-level customizability. Astro Duel Deluxe (think Space War evolved) also has great multiplayer. And Stikbold (crazy Swedish dodgeball) was fun on PS4, so I can only imagine that the 6-player Deluxe version on Switch is utter insanity. I also rented The End Is Nigh, and was very impressed by it. I enjoyed it more than Super Meat Boy! Unfortunately, I didn't like Thumper as much as I thought that I would. That's going to go in the eShop disappointment pile next to Rocket Fist and Infinite Minigolf. Make sure to keep an eye out for Duck Game. It's one of the best multiplayer games ever. @r_hjortHuman Resource Machine was sweet, too. I should really go back and finish it. @J.K. RikiYeah, Overcooked is pretty fun. Even though half of the people that I played with hated it! It's always near the top of the eShop charts, too. Unlike Worms: WMD. Poor Worms! |
