That's a great list for the first year. All I want now is Spelunky and I'm set on indie games.

Wish that La Mulana could get a console port, that game would be right at home on Nintendo.

There's a few good Wiiware exclusive games. It's a shame most will probably stay there like the ones Konami did.

Never understood why stuff like Mega Man 9 & 10, Castlevania Rebirth, Contra Rebirth, and the previous Blaster Master sequel never got ported beyond the WiiWare. I mean MM9&10 are on the PS3 and 360, but never got a proper port to the new consoles outside of BC support for the XBox One.

Castlevania ReBirth is one of those, that's a really cool game stuck on a weird platform.

They also released After Years on the PSP release of IV. They also made an exclusive interlude chapter that's about the length of one chapter of After Years.

I liked most of the gameplay of The After Years but the game really could have used a skip cutscene button so that you can use it on every one of them every single time, including on a first playthrough.

The best thing about The After Years was on wii it was broken up into a bunch of chapters you had to buy individually for what I believe was more than a retail game.

Diabolical, can you still get it, or it that cooked-in DLC that you can't download through the Wii Shop channel

You can still buy stuff on the Wii Shop Channel. It's just online gameplay that has been taken down.

I think the game cost $40 or so after buying all the chapters, so it definitely wasn't more than a full retail game at the time, but it was pretty high for a download title, and weird how it was released episodically. I imagine it would have sucked to buy the first bit of it without knowing that and then hit the "end of chapter" point a couple hours in.

Good thing I quickly found out it sucked and never hit that point, then.

Say what you will about the admittedly-small launch lineup, but the Switch has a pretty drat decent first year of titles coming. That's before even whatever might get trotted out at e3 for a September/October release.

Kiss the Joycon to Kiss Zelda

Heads up for PAL folks - Sega are having a big sale this week. Miku and Rhythm Thief are both reduced, as well as a chunk of the Sega 3D Classics (both the individual games and the collection). The individual games will be €2.49/£2.24, which is a steal for them.

Honestly, something that was completely unexpected to me about the Switch is that it is now going to be my primary platform for buying indie games. I definitely didn't even think about it until yesterday's presentation that the Switch is the perfect platform for indie titles. They aren't graphical powerhouses, and they usually can be played in short bursts if you want to take it mobile, but they are also deep enough that sometimes you just want to sit on the couch and immerse yourself.

It's very very smart for them to make porting indie titles to Switch easy and promote the poo poo out of them. It just changed the dynamic for me from "Buy every cross platform title on PS4" to "Only buy AAA cross platform titles on PS4, and buy everything else on the Switch."

No but Nintendo has confirmed no Virtual Console at launch so it'll probably be just the games we know are coming day one.
