Well everyone, today is the day! Happy sixth birthday Switch! For the first week of questions I have to ask of you: What were your top 6 indie games you enjoyed on Switch? They could be games that have released elsewhere, but if these were hands you first played on Switch, or games you played elsewhere first but then just clicked when you bought them again on Switch, they count! But, don't just make it a list; at least write a sentence or three about why they were so impactful to you!
1. Signalis - While some of its gameplay needs some refinement to stand up to the best examples of the genre, is still a pretty good survival horror game elevated by its masterful presentation and story, it hits so hard.
2. Sayonara Wild Hearts - Such an inventive and varied game with just what is essentially an endless runner style gameplay, is hard to put into words the whole journey that this game makes one go through.
3. If found - A pretty sweet VN, I like how the its main mechanic of writing/erasing to progress to the next story beat is used pretty effectively, making for some great sequences during its climax.
4. No Straight Roads - Combat is pretty simple and its implementation of rhythm at times janky, but it makes up for it by being the textbook definition of soul in videogames, its so full of heart and charm that I can't help but love it.
5. Touhou Luna Nights - This game is basically a Classicvania, and it rules, for the most part pretty tight challenging game, a great risk reward system with grace, excellent pixel art and music, wish it would have accomodated its design to be pretty much stage based game for a much tighter pace, because the Metroid aspect doesn't really add anything to it.
6. Lunistice - I can count with one hand the amount of 3D platformers that can come close to nailing game feel like Mario, this is one of them, the worst I can say about Lunistice is that the camera needs more tracking with the character and that is too cheap on the eshop, criminally cheap.
There is some stuff I played on PC that would be up there, Drainus is on Switch but I didn't play it there yet, Freedom Planet 2 is peak videogames stuff, and hope Potionomics someday makes it to Switch, also would like Mimimi games on Switch, tho that is more likely on a successor.
