Nintendo Switch Update: Nintendo Is Negotiating With Steam; 64 Indie Games Confirmed

Nintendo made a point of how much they have learned from the Wii U's wrong move in launching the indie games. Nintendo's members of the third-party publishing team discussed the indie game demos last Game Developers Conference, in which the company is more focused on the 64 independent games for the Nintendo Switch including "Overcooked," "Stardew Valley," "Runner3," and etc.

According to The Verge, Damon Baker from the Head of Partner Management for Nintendo's Publisher and Developer Relations Team stated that the company is not launching 32 indie games in one day; which they have learned that lesson from Wii U. He also added that Nintendo Company was trying to make sure the games that will be released will be connected with the users in term of certain standards for Nintendo Switch.

 The Nintendo Company's Nintendo Switch will be releasing its indie title games every week at Nintendo Switch's eShop, every Friday. As mentioned earlier, the console will feature 64 indie games including "Steamworld Dig 2," "Yooka-Laylee," "Overcooked Special Edition," "The Escapists 2," "Gonner," "Kingdom Two Crowns," and "Runner3."

Nintendo Switch's game list also includes "Blaster Master Zero," "Flipping Death," "Graceful Explosion Machine," "Dandara," "Mr. Shifty," "TumbleSeed," "Shakedown," "Pocket Rumble," "WarGroove," "Thumper," "Stardew Valley," "Perception," "Ultimate Chicken Horse," "Rogue Trooper Redux," "NBA Playgrounds," "Celeste," "The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth," "Fast RMX," "Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment," and "Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove."

Meanwhile, Nintendo is now looking for titles that will maybe make a debut console on Nintendo Switch including those games that already exists on PC platforms. According to the Kirk Scott Nintendo's Head of Indie Relations from the reports of Polygon, the company has three qualification traits in installing games in Nintendo Switch such as playable together, great IP, and can be played anywhere. He added that the company is also negotiating with Steam and they see it as a complementary. Nintendo knows that people who played on steam also want to buy a console that can be played anywhere and everywhere with friends.
