    Legend of Zelda - Crypt of the Necrodancer spin-off was unexpected. Would love to know how that came into existence. Edit:...

      Yeah, that looks amazing. The style of Necrodancer matches very well with old-school Link to the Past-like sprites. (For anyone else, it's right at the very end of the showcase video, but here's...

        Okay, I think I finally need to pick up a Nintendo Switch after seeing that trailer. I have been wanting one for a while now. Looks absolutely incredible.

      I didn't watch the showcase, but a friend of mine sent me a link to this part because he knows I loved Crypt of the Necrodancer. I saw on Nintendo's website that there will be 25 remixes of LoZ songs in the game, so I'm really hoping that DannyB will be involved in the music in this game like he was with the original.

    I am very very excited to have Cuphead come to the NS. I have an XBO, and could have bought it, but I’ve held off since the game seems perfect for on-the-go gaming. The partnership between Nintendo and Microsoft is shaping up nicely and bringing us nice things.

        You just reminded about viewtiful joe. What a great game. That would do well on the Switch.

    Super Crate Box is the sleeper standout here. I loved the game on Steam. Easy, simple fun.

    That said, Vlambeer left a bad taste in my mouth by never updating Nuclear Throne on GOG despite selling it there--and continuing to offer it for sale there to this day. Not their best look, and it pretty much ruined the game (which is quite good) for me.

      I love Super Crate Box. If you don't already know about it, you might want to check out Super Mutant Alien Assault, which calls itself "The Citizen Kane of Super Crate Box clones".

        Super crate box is exceptional, Vlambeer just handled it very poorly on iOS. They continued to promise updates to the app, and then would not deliver. Ocassionally one would come, but it would be months after promised. Their lack of support left a bad taste in my mouth, hopefully this time things go getter

        Edit: if you go on the App Store page, you can see in the most recent patch notes that 1.2 is “coming” with “a bunch of new characters and challenges”...
        The last update was 6 years ago.

        Awesome. This looks right up my alley! Windows only, unfortunately, but it's got one gold rating on ProtonDB, so I'll pick it up next sale and see if I can't get it running.
