Yeah I tried Retro City Rampage on Vita and hated it. It was really disappointing.

Well that list is something to shout about.
Haven't been been looking forward to playing indies again since before I sold my Vita

It's slated for 2018, this showcase was only for 2017 games.

I went for the 200GB too, I just like to be better safe than sorry. I went way above and beyond on my Wii U and 3DS and I'm glad that I never have to clean the fridge like I do with my Playstation.

Shovel Knight
Fast RMX
World of Goo
Human Resource Machine
Little Inferno
Blaster Master Zero is the following week.
Plague came out first, so I'd assume that one? Almost always best to play things in release order.

That's 2018. This is only for 2017.
IT IS?!
Yeah Nintendo want people to spend money on those indie games so that devs keep putting their upcoming titles on Switch as well. There isn't much benefit for them if people spend the money instead on the game Mario VC classic games. That's why FAST, Shovel Knight and Co. are there from day 1...clear message for the indie scene to embrace the platform.
VC will have to wait a bit... Which is good news since they will likely add substantial upgrades (online mp already confirmed) for these classics. Win/Win.

Yep. Also I think VC will be different. It works out well for everyone.

I hope World of Goo, Little Inferno and Human Resource Machine are still launch... I feel like we haven't heard anything from Tomorrow Corp in a while about it.

This is... well, I don't know where to start with. First haz no gaemz, now haz so many incoming. Good stuff.
But will be be able to transfer VC games to Switch from the WiiU? I have many NES, SNES and N64 games.
In fact, in anticipation of BOTW, I am playing ALTTP, TP HD and OoT at the same time
OoT and ALTTP both from VC.

Uncertain at this point. It's likely they will transfer with an upgrade fee... which stinks.

Looking great. Wish they announced more 'concrete' dates for the games though. Mr.Shifty looks especially nice. I look forward to getting back into Stardew Valley. Bit surprised that Runner 3 is going to be an exclusive though. What was Runner 2 sales numbers like for all platforms?

I love seeing Nintendo support and highlight indies like this and also seeing how well the community is responding. I haven't seen this much positivity surrounding the Switch since... ever.
What I really want Nintendo to do (and I have no idea how) is bring some indies more into the "mainstream." Clearly, "gamers" respond well. I want to see someone who gets a Switch for Mario Kart and Just Dance download Shovel Knight or Snake Pass.
I think the integrated multiplayer with the detached Joy-Cons really might help make this happen. No one I work with knows what Shovel Knight is. I already plan on doing co-op during lunch or after hours with some co-workers.

"More room for third parties to survive" was always the apology for a thin first-party catalogue at launch, though, even before mid-priced digital-only games were a factor. It certainly didn't work out for the 3DS, though we'll see if anything is different this time around with Zelda holding the fort as a solitary first-party titan while indies cover all the bases for diversity.
What I'm more optimistic about it this: if I recall, developers like Yacht Club and Image & Form that targeted Nintendo as the lead platform, with games in Nintendo-friendly genres, frequently reported in the Wii U/3DS era that even once they went multiplatform, Nintendo accounted for a substantial proportion of their sales. Word gets around about that, and word will get around again if the first wave of Switch indie titles and timed exclusives pay off handsomely. For indie developers in certain genres, the Switch-buying market is their blue ocean: a market with favourable demographics that isn't so saturated with indistinguishable competition that they have trouble standing out, and which (unlike Steam) doesn't have a norm of waiting for bundles or a $5 price point, or a player base notorious for a crippling backlog problem.
I could see an embrace of the Switch paying off in spades. Developers returning from the 3DS and Wii U are back because they know the Switch will be friendly territory, and their peers in the indie sector are catching on.

I still can't believe we got Thumper. With the HD Rumble.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Several, in fact, but they all got closed due to apparently being "the next evolution of list wars".

I ain't got that shit homie, gonna go straight to my joycons. Like how I'd want Rez Infinite to get on the Switch cause HD Rumble is better than not having a $5K suit.

That depends on which one's gameplay interests you more.
Plague has super maneuverability, but has a rather steep learning curve. Specter seems to be more straightforward, and seems somewhat reminiscent of Ninja Gaiden.
Dat rhythm violence...

Apology accepted. With the good number of indies at launch with Blaster Master and Binding of Isaac shortly after, I'll he occupied.

That is a solid list.
Overcooked alone makes it a safe buy to play with wife.

Glad I got that 256gb card ready during the Amazon flash holiday sales. My Vita is going to have a great companion for my travels. Handheld BBFs.
we play Quiplash 2 prob twice a month and it's so good. I'm going to make sure Duck Game gets a chance when people come around too because that game is amazing.
This list is unreal, the local co-op for this machine is going to make it for me.
WOAH WHAT NO WAY DON'T DO THIS TO ME
We have this infographic, which is obviously lacking some more recent announcements:
It's not, the GAFfer in question misread some article, it still has a generic March release date.

Ehh. Many of these games (at least their PC equivalents) have pretty small file sizes; one could probably get at least half of the ones in the image from the first post and not have run out of built-in storage.

Hmmm, Rez Infinite on Switch with 4-8 Joycons with HD rumble activated...
