This past year saw the launch of a record number of indie games on the Nintendo Switch system – from award-winning games like Dead Cells to fan-favorites like INSIDE. If you received a Nintendo eShop gift card for the holidays, the Indie Hits 2018 Edition video compilation is the perfect checklist for what games you should get when redeeming your card.
With Nintendo Switch, all of these widely varied and acclaimed games can be played at home on the TV or on the go – that’s what makes playing them on Nintendo Switch so unique. All of these games (and more!) can be purchased in Nintendo eShop or on Nintendo.com and downloaded directly to your Nintendo Switch system.
Notable indie launches coming in 2019 include Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes on Jan. 18, Shovel Knight: King of Cards on April 9, and Untitled Goose Game, with many more independent games on the way.
