Cha-ching

TheNindies Spring Showcasethis morning gave us all a sneak peek at the hot indie titles coming to the Switch in 2018.Bomb ChickenandWest of Loathingare the top of my must-buy list, but will they be popular enough to dethrone the best selling indie games on the Switch?

At GDC in San Francisco today, Nintendo held a Nindies panel where it made a few announcements about indie games on the system.

It was pretty obvious a few of those games would be in the top 10. I don’t think I’ve logged into the eShop since I got my Switch without seeingStardew Valleynear the top.CelesteandEnter the Gungeonare two of the most recent titles to make the top 10, but given the successes we’ve heard about from both those games, their inclusion also isn’t that big of a surprise. Hell, evenBlossom Talessold well enough on Switch to save the developer.

Of those games, I only own two on Switch —Golf StoryandNBA Playgrounds— but I have spent many hours withStardew Valleyon my Mac. Clearly, I’m lagging behind. Maybe I should put downRocket Leagueand finally pick upSteamworld Dig 2.
