  9. Indies can be nice, or they can be soulless abominations, or straight-up boring crap. For every "Cave Story" & "Stardew Valley" we have thousands (if not tens of thousands) of The Letter💩 & Rev60💩. I consider it a blessing that Nintendo strives to create top-quality games at (mostly) their own pace, not just shovel as much crap out the wheelbarrow as they can and hope something sticks to cover the costs of the crap.

  17. Why, the majority of Nintendo games are great regardless, it isn’t necessary to have fans involved into making a game for it to end up good (did Zelda BOTW needed fans input to be good??)
    Games are arts and developers are artists with a vision, their vision.

    But if you’re talking about criticism, pretty sure most Nintendo devs do (keeping what worked while changing/removing what didn’t in the next game/DLC/Update)

  25. Nintendo banks on the staples, Mario, LoZ, Mario Kart and Smash Bros and now Animal Crossing. They lucked out with getting Pokemon exclusivity and Monster Hunter, MH was why I got a 3DS to begin with. They have become content with just sticking to their money makers which makes sense but also it comes off as lazy to a degree that they don't try for new IPs, but they kinda don't have to I guess.

  28. What I like with Indies games it's that they don't fear to take some risk. I mean, the only big risk that Nintendo have took for the Switch so far It's Breath of the Wild. Exemple, Nintendo would never made something like Cadence of Hyrule with another big IP. They prefer to not take a lot of risk because of the fan and the shareholder. It's the same thing for Playstation and Xbox. Indies are freed from greedy shareholder.

  32. One indie game I am hoping will be released on the Nintendo Switch is "Freedom Planet 2", since I have been waiting since 2017 for the game to be released due to how much I loved playing the first one on the Nintendo Wii U, though I heard that it will be released on PC first.

  33. This is on purpose.
    Nintendo has a set of value comandments they will not stray from to keep their culture their culture. They allow the indies on switch to not limit their audiance. Lack of third party support is more based on said third party simply thinking the game may or may not run on switch. Nothing complicated about it at all.😁

  38. Demonschool have interesting mechanics, but I'll pass it because I'm tired of school kids setting and also the late millenial/gen Z pixel art is just not my jam. Don't like the visuals.

    If it was a game about some 30-40 years old people who find themselves in a situation where they should cooperate to survive and eventually save the day while having their own adult problems and relationships with either drawn or even low poly 3D visuals – I'd dig that.
