New Indie Games Coming To Switch Spring 2019

To tie in with the Game Developers Conference 2019, Nintendo put on a spring showcase for some exciting indie games coming over to the Switch.

But what were the key announcements from the showcase?

Indie Games On Switch Spring 2019

You can find all of the indie games shown at the presentation below along with their expected release dates:

• Cuphead – April 18th
• Overland – Fall
• My Friend Pedro – June
• Neo Cab – Summer
• The Red Lantern – 2019
• Darkwood – May
• Katana ZERO – April 18th
• RAD – Summer
• Creature in the Well – Summer
• Bloodroots – Summer
• Pine – August

• Ultra Bugs – 2019
• Swimsanity! – Summer
• Blaster Master Zero II – Out now
• Stranger Things 3 The Game – July 4th
• Cadence of Hyrule – Crypt of the Necrodancer – Spring

It wasn’t that long ago, January in fact, that we had a dedicated ‘Indie Highlights’ presentation from Nintendo (they need to stick to one name with these, surely?), so it’s another presentation from the company that wasn’t entirely expected.

Key announcements like Cadence of Hyrule – Crypt of the Necrodancer and Cuphead are more than welcome, while Blaster Master Zero II, My Friend Pedro, Overland, and The Red Lantern prove that the Switch is becoming a place for more than just a smattering of indie games.

It’s worth mentioning that Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, a refreshing take on XCOM which released last year, was also announced separately for Switch and is due out June 25th — that’s as well as Castle Crashers Remastered, coming to both Switch and PS4.

We’re also going to see a set of Konami classics heading to PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch too. And yes, Castlevania is in there.
