Best of Nindie: Nintendo’s Indie Showcase

Nindie is Nintendo’s showcase event for indie games. The company showcased only 20 games in total at their Summer showcase, but the event was much more focused on quality than quantity.

One of the most talked about games was the hotly anticipated sequel, Shovel Knight: King of Cards. The game will be the “final adventure in the Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove saga.” It will feature four new worlds, 30 new courses and will launch in early 2018.

The other big ticket title was Super Meat Boy Forever, another sequel that fans have been begging for ever since the original came out nearly a decade ago. Unlike the original game, in Forever, levels get more challenging each time they’re beaten.

You can read the official titles and descriptions of the other 18 games featured at Nintendo’s Nindie event here.

Hurricane Harvey has been a real bitch, to say the least. But one Redditor was prepared in a way that would only make sense to gamers. Did he stock up on food and clean water? We don’t know. Did he build an incredible inflatable dam to stop the water from getting in? Probably not. Did he gather up every hand-held Nintendo product since the Gameboy Advance SP? You betcha.  We don’t blame u/obrienthefourth for not including the Game Boy Advance and original Game Boy in his preparation. We’re guessing he just foresaw the eventual power outage and didn’t want to worry about finding one of those clip on light things when the time came. We hope you’re safe u/obrienthefourth, you and everyone else who had to endure that beast.
