[Kristen] -Hi everyone! Welcome to Indie World!
Today, we'll be looking at some indie games coming to Nintendo Switch.
My name's Kristen,
[Paul] -And I'm Paul.
[Kristen] -and we can't wait to show you these games.
[Paul] -I mean, I guess we could wait.
[music fades] [cricket sounds]
But let's not do that!

[Derek] -On behalf of Mossmouth and BlitWorks,
I'm excited to announce that Spelunky 1 and Spelunky 2
are both coming to the Nintendo Switch system in 2021!
Spelunky was an important game to the action rogue-like genre,
and we're thrilled to be able to follow it up with a wild sequel
that features a larger world with even deeper secrets.
Both games are great to play with friends or on the go,
but no matter how you choose to play,
we can't wait for you to experience
the Spelunky series on Nintendo Switch.
[Paul] -Both Spelunky games
are coming to Nintendo Switch? Better grab my adventure gear!
[Kristen] -You'll need it with all the randomly-generated levels,
which made the first game a rogue-like classic.
There's so much to explore and discover,
not to mention the numerous monsters, treasures, secrets,
and traps, of course!
[Paul] -Ya can't forget about those devious things.
At least you can take a breather at the base camp if,
or, should we say, when, you get done in.
There's also multiplayer and various modes to play,
like the Daily Challenge.
[Kristen] -Guess I'd better gear up, too!
Get in on the platforming action
when both Spelunky and Spelunky 2
launch on Nintendo Switch, summer 2021.
[Kristen] -A game full of cats! Yes!
[Paul] -Please, no cat puns.
[Kristen] -Are you kitten me?
C'mon, even this game's title is a cat pun!
[Paul] -Anyway, ever wonder what cats do when their owners are away?
Well, Fisti-Fluffs has that answer!
Developed by Playfellow Studio,
Fisti-Fluffs, is an action-brawler, in which cats duke it out,
to determine the world's best feline fighter.
[Kristen] -And they'll use anything to their advantage,
including household items.
Looks like this is gonna be a total cat-tastrophe!
[Paul] -Ugg, that was another cat pun, wasn't it?
[Kristen] -You also get to dress up these fur babies,
and you can play locally and online with friends.
The paw-sibilities are endless!
[Paul] -Did you just... You know what, never mind.
[Paul] -Get ready for a cat fight in Fisti-Fluffs, pouncing first
onto Nintendo Switch, early next year.
[Paul] -You're a good driver, right?
[Kristen] -I mean, I can drive... go karts?
[Paul] -That works!
Here in Very Very Valet from Toyful Games,
you'll get behind the wheel to pick up, park,
and return cars in over 20 locations.
Up to three other players can join you
in this frantic and fun party game.
And I was kidding about the driving thing earlier,
it's not actually a requirement!
[Kristen] -At least I've got between now and early 2021 to practice,
when Very Very Valet
accelerates onto Nintendo Switch first as a timed exclusive.
[Jorge] -Hi! I'm Jorge Garcia.
[Francisco] -And I am Francisco Mora.
-We are a part of Leap Games Studios
based in Lima, Peru,
and we would like to share with you
a game we are working on, called Tunche.
-Tunche revolves around Amazonian folklore
and it has a diverse cast of heroes,
Through hand-drawn animations, and characters,
we would like to share with you, this world, that is very dear to our hearts.
-You will embark on a journey to find new friends,
deal with the past,
and uncover the mysteries of the rainforest.
We truly hope that you'll enjoy the game.
[tribal rock music]
[music intensifies]
[music fades]
[Kristen] -I love traveling, and the world of Tunche
definitely looks like a place I'd want to visit.
[Paul] -This hand-drawn world,
modeled after the Amazon Rainforest, is just breathtaking.
And it can be explored with one of five heroes,
each with their own distinctive skills and abilities.
They'll unravel the rainforest's secrets
in search of a mythical beast, the titular Tunche.
[Kristen] -Add in the charming hack-and-slash combat,
local co-op play,
and just a pinch of shaman witchcraft,
and you've got yourself a full travel itinerary.
Hat Kid from, A Hat in Time, is also playable in this game!
[Paul] -Venture into the jungle
when Tunche arrives first on Nintendo Switch, March 2021.
[dark retro music]
[music fades]
[Paul] -Imagine, a world taken over
by an evil doctor and his synthetic army.
[Kristen] -No need to imagine it in Cyber Shadow!
In this action-platformer game from Mechanical Head Studios,
you'll dash, slice, and leap your way through futuristic levels
as you take down more than a dozen apocalyptic bosses.
[Paul] -By rescuing your ninja clan,
you'll unlock permanent ninjutsu skills and abilities.
Use them in your quest to pulverize evil,
including summoning fire, charging slashes,
throwing shuriken, and parrying deadly attacks.
[Kristen] -And exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version,
you can scan compatible Shovel Knight series amiibo figures
to get a little help from a familiar fairy friend!
A classic 8-bit challenge awaits, soon, in Cyber Shadow,
coming to Nintendo Switch January 26th, 2021.
[Samantha] -Hey, we're Whitethorn Games,
and we're super excited to share Calico with all of you.
Calico is a relaxing, pastel-colored community sim
full of magical girls, cuddly creatures,
and townsfolk looking to make new friends.
We're thrilled to share Calico with you on the Nintendo Switch.
It's the perfect way to cozy up with a blanket,
a cup of tea, and spend some time in our café.
[Paul] -So, based on the cat puns,
I'm assuming you've dreamed of owning a cat café?
[Kristen] -A cat-fé, actually.
And now everyone can in Calico!
Peachy Keen Games has one very important,
yet adorable, task for you.
[Paul] -Fill this cozy café with cute and cuddly creatures!
No better way to spend a day, really.
[Kristen] -And by filling it with lots of charming furniture,
festive decorations, and yummy pastries,
you'll have plenty of fluffy friends in no time!
It's purr-fect!
[Paul] -Oh my gosh.
[Kristen] -Ah, right. The pun thing. Sorry.
[Paul] -Relax in Calico,
launching on Nintendo Switch later today.
[Kristen] -From Ustwo Games,
the award-winning studio that brought you Monument Valley,
comes Alba: A Wildlife Adventure,
where even the smallest person can make a big difference.
[Paul] -Join Alba as she sets out to save her island
and its wildlife, with her grandfather and her friend Ines.
From the idyllic beaches to an ancient castle
overlooking the town,
this visually stunning Mediterranean paradise
is just waiting to be explored with a camera by your side.
[Kristen] -You can also recruit volunteers for your cause,
and you'll need their help to heal sick animals,
clean up the wilderness, and ultimately save the island.
[Paul] -A season of exploration awaits
in Alba: A Wildlife Adventure,
coming to Nintendo Switch, spring 2021.
[mystical glitch music]
[music fades]
[speaking Japanese]
[Paul] -Oooh,
those Gnosia are terrifying.
I might have trouble sleeping tonight.
[Kristen] -You'll be fine!
Besides, there's an eclectic cast of characters you'll get to meet
and role-playing elements to help unravel the mysteries aboard the spaceship.
It's a fascinating spin on the social deduction genre, for sure.
[Paul] -Guess I'll have to overcome my fears
when Gnosia launches on Nintendo Switch, early 2021.
[music fades]
[horrifying electronic music]
[creepy electronic music]
[music stops]
[speaking Czech]
[Paul] -Aw, that poor boy.
We've got to help him!
[Kristen] -Let's do it!
As long as we solve these, uh,
pretty unnerving puzzles,
endure a few unsettling songs, and survive some...
face-to-face encounters with suspicious smiley faces.
[Paul] -Ergh.
We'll have to earn our sweet dreams in spring 2021,
when Happy Game releases on Nintendo Switch.
[surf rock music]
[Kristen] -I can't believe Team Meat
created thousands of levels in this game!
Plus insane boss fights,
tons of secrets, unlockable characters.
My backlog's gonna have to wait!
[Paul] -You do know these levels aren't exactly
a walk in the park, right?
[Kristen] -Unless the park just happens to be filled with deadly saws.
I love a good challenge!
[Paul] -Well, ask and you shall receive.
Super Meat Boy Forever is out later this month
as a console launch exclusive
[Farah] -Hi! I'm Farah.
I'm part of the Grindstone team at CAPY Games.
Grindstone brings our brutal world
of cartoon puzzle-battles to Nintendo Switch,
where you'll be tested by more than 200 levels
stuffed with creeps, jerks, and devious traps.
Don't forget to etch your name on the daily Board of Leaders.
if you're brave enough.
From all of us at CAPY,
we can't wait to see you on the mountain.
[Kristen] -Puzzles and battles and creeps, oh my!
[Paul] -That's pretty much what this game's all about!
Smash enemies to rack up combos
and collect precious Grindstones,
then trade them in for some sweet weapons and gear.
[Kristen] -Which you'll need to overcome dangerous bosses
and obstacles as you tackle over 200 levels on Grindstone Mountain.
Looking to prove your prowess even more?
Why not take on daily challenges with the leaderboards?
[Paul] -Get that sword swinging in Grindstone,
slashing its way onto Nintendo Switch
as a console launch exclusive later today.
[Kristen] -We're almost at the end of our presentation.
[Paul] -But, there are several more
indie games we'd like to show you.
Check it out!
[upbeat pop music]
[music fades]
[Kristen] -Well, that just about wraps up today's presentation.
[music stops] [emergency alarm sound]
[Paul] -There's an imposter among us.
[Kristen] -Not me!
I saw you around the vents though.
[Paul] -Excuse me?
You're the suspicious one.
[Kristen] -What?!
Look, we have to work together to complete tasks
on this spaceship before the imposter sabotages
and takes out the other players.
We gotta figure out who it is before it's too late!
[Paul] -Mm, I don't even know if our friendship will survive at this rate.
[Kristen] -Because you're the imposter?!
That's it, I'm voting you out!
[Paul] -Ugh. Whatever,
I'll convince you I'm not the imposter when Among Us
launches on Nintendo Switch, later today!
[Kristen] -That's all for today's Indie World presentation,
for real this time!
We hope you enjoyed the games shown today.
[Paul] -On behalf of everyone at Nintendo,
we'd like to thank our talented community
of partners and developers around the world,
who are working passionately to bring their games to Nintendo Switch.
[Kristen] -And thank you all for tuning in!
