Hopping between games on a whim in the span of a few seconds is a great thing, I'm learning. Finally finished Kamiko while waiting for Gonner to download, then had some fun trying Gonner out.

I love my portable indie device.

What indies can folks recommend on the switch?

Is Vaccine any use?

Solid games based on my experiences and from what I commonly see recommended in the thread:

Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove
Blaster Master Zero
Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth +
Kamiko
Thumper
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
Mighty Gunvolt Burst
Cave Story+
GoNNer

Many others are also pretty solid if you like the genre. Check out the second post of the thread for a complete listing (though it's missing this week's eShop games).

Also major props to Al Borland Corp. for all the hard work with the first two posts.

Even better than voicechat? Voicechat that turns everything into unintelligible squid language. You can hear they're very angry at you for picking the weapon they don't think you should have, but all you hear is BLUB BLUB BLUB BLUB

Voice chat would be fantastic if it translated all speech into squid.

No more bulky headsets or bulky UIs.

Just switch on your iPhone, spend 2 gold coins to create a room and chat with your friends on loudspeaker.

From there you can exchange strategies for Fire Emblem Heroes or Super Mario Run and even discuss Splatoon 2.

The best part of all is that you don't have to buy a 300 dollar headset to enjoy talking to your friends. All you need is the device everyone else already has, a Smart phone. Here at Nintendo we are all about removing barriers of entry so that everyone can play.

Well, almost everyone owns a smartphone. I can't think of any other device, that every Nintendo Switch owner would own. Is there anything those people have in common, everyone who owns a Switch, is there anything you know someone has when they buy a Nintendo Switch?

Speaking of which has there been any rainway news lately?

They seem to be making progress and aiming for a beta run later this year for non-Switch stuff. Switch version seems to be going well too though still no clue if Nintendo will actually OK it.

Their Twitter is probably your best bet for news.

Also Slime-san is really good. A ton of content and customization and challenges, and it's one of the best "pick up and play for a few minutes" games I've seen so far on the Switch. Definitely worth a look at $12 if the Super Meat Boy style of platformer appeals to you.

If you don't mind the D-Pad being unreliable for certain games, particularly Puyo Puyo Tetris, the Pro Controller's a solid grab and I'd definitely recommend it for docked/tabletop gameplay.
