I hated searching for cool new games on the Nintendo Switch eShop, so I made a channel to share a cultivated list of the best new Indie Games arriving each week.

Hey @igndeals.bsky.social got any recommendations on a Switch 2 shell/protector case?

Not a travel carrier, but a "my kid is getting a Switch 2 for Christmas and I'd like it to survive until New Year's" type case for everyday play.

@duckvalentine.bsky.social love seeing your kitty on NVC since we have matching kitties.

Does yours also have the fluffiest belly?

Also got Mojang's thoughts on generative AI and why we aren't going to see it in Minecraft anytime soon.

Working on reviving the Nindie Backlog Club and looking for some of your picks for #Indiegames that have been on your #backlog forever.

We pick a game and the community plays together, anything you think we should check out?

Just heard you talking about an amazing Metroid hoodie you steal from Imran.

Wouldn't happen to be this hoodie, would it? Because this is the most comfortable article of clothing I've ever owned in my 40 years.

My friend @gocastscott.bsky.social over at The Gaming Outsider wrote an absolutely glowing review of Blade Chimera that I wholeheartedly agree with.

This is a game that EVERYONE would be talking about right now if it received a bit more attention.

Blade Chimera | Steam Deck Review for The Gaming Outsider
Blade Chimera from Team Ladybug is a solid Metroidvania reminiscent of Symphony of the Night with a shockingly satisfying story.

Sleeper hit of 2024, don't miss it!

Hear Ye, Hear Ye. Nindie Nostradamus was 4/5 in last year's video.
Will we sweep this year's predictions for big #indiegames on the Switch and #Switch2?
Watch and let me know what you think!

I cannot express enough how much fun I'm having with Blade Chimera. I find it hard to believe this game won't make my 2025 GOTY top 10.

In the mood for a Metroidvania that does everything you love really well, but is a bit shorter, super polished, and infused with anime sci-fi? Check it out.

I picked up Arco today during the sale and it's doing that thing that only the best games do where it's all I'm thinking about and pining for my next chance to play.

3 hours in so far. Easy recommendation.

It's like... R-rated Oregon Trail meets Into The Breach? Yeah, we'll go with that.
Arco is 30% off on Steam AND Switch till 16th January! 🙈Help us getting to 1k reviews on Steam✨We are still Overwhelmingly Positive! 💖

I thought Arco would be great when I previewed it on the channel.

I knew it was great when I saw the reviews.

I bought and started playing it today... I had no idea it was THIS great. Wow.

Incredible work, @arcogamedev.bsky.social

Here's a stupid question for Playstation/Display nerds:

If I'm playing on a 1080P screen, can I bump a PS5 game to Quality mode and see better performance than I would if I was playing Quality on a 4K screen?

Seems like...that should happen, but I'm guess it doesn't?

I was so inspired by the awesome Vertex Pop deals, I made a short, Go watch it and leave your feedback!

Also - Go buy their games cause they're awesome.

I just received the Mega Man Battle Network collection and want to know which one I should start with.

Any opinions? Is it a series where major changes were made in the 2nd entry that 'fixed' most issues or anything like that?

When I mentioned that my daughter and I got hardcore into the Nomura-verse this year, I wasn't kidding.

How is LEGO Fortnite compared to the crap on Roblox or the servers with similar minigames in Minecraft?

My son is into both of those and I hate it. Not sure if this would be any better. Looks like it at least is designed by...game developers?
