I wonder how much of Nintendo fans' hatred of indie games comes from the fact that the eShop is a total PITA to navigate. Shovelware gets re-released almost weekly just to stay at the top of the page.

Yeah it is. Slow as an early 2000s Geocities page, ugly, and completely unorganized. Hate to say it, but it's even worse than EGS' layout. It would drive me to piracy if I wasn't already a pirate beforehand.
I would like to see Nintendo add separate section for indie games and separate section for indie games on sale at discount prices.
BOOM! I can ignore both sections, so bye bye to shovelware.
However, not all indie games are bad - just several are good like Stardew Valley, Hollow Knight, Cuphead and others.
and introduce the rank list for indie games, so games on higher rank are worth to buy.

Time to see 8-bit inspired shitty pixel arts. Developers should move on from this style, it's a product of its time.
Yay! Time for more shitty ports of games that I have been playing for years on my pc and more recently steam deck!
Those indie directs usually come 1 to 3 weeks before an actual direct. I wonder if it will be like that this time. Not a good time of the year for a direct.
y'know after thinking about it, I call myself an indie gamer, but i only have played some boring ahh ones off of the 3ds. I haven't played any popular ones like Celeste, Hollow Knight, and Yumme Nikki. Only Deltarune/Undertale but thta's about it.
Not even Cave Story. Honestly, I dunno why I'm calling myself an indie gamer I haven't played most if not all of rhw popular indie games people played.
Its sad that the only good games announced was Shantae Advance & Core Keepers...the first two games they show off.
It’s actually worse than Steam with the sheer amount of low-quality shovelware that’s flooded the store.
This thread's gonna be fun to watch lmao
At least a few of the games shown were neat, Shantae and Outer Wilds especially, given:
- WayForward said back in July they didn't have plans to port Shantae Advance to modern systems at the time, so most people expected them to either do it later in 2024, or not do it at all.
- Outer Wilds was announced to be coming to Switch in Feburary 2021. Yeah.
I wasn't expecting much anyway so I wasn't majorly disappointed, but just ended up feeling mostly empty because of the lack of 'big' stuff.
Silksong is dead.

I didn’t watch it but rather I did see a list of the stuff announced. Only Shantae seems interesting to me, but we already knew that was coming out next year, and even then I won’t play it on Switch. Everything else just seemed kinda mid or boring, but that’s usually to be expected with these

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1
