Nintendo reveals 20-plus indie games coming to Switch
Watch Next

So. Many. Games.

Nintendo just dropped a 3-minute trailer running through 20-plus indies that will be coming to the Switch at some point. You get about 10 seconds to look at each one, and it's safe to say there's something for everyone in here.

PlayStation's handheld Vita was seen by many as the ideal platform for indie releases, thanks to both its power and its modern gamepad-style controls. But the Vita has since faded and the Switch, which is already ascendant thanks to great first-party Nintendo games like Zelda and Splatoon 2, seems poised to claim that "best for indies" crown.

The only thing missing: release dates. We'll get those in due time. Hopefully, most or all of these will surface over the next six months.
