"Is Smash an indie game?" "No Patrick, Smash is not an indie game." "Is-" "Legend of Zelda isn't an indie game either."

If I had a nickel for everytime a goose terrorized our village, I'd have TWO nickels! Which isn't a lot, but it is weird that it happened twice.

The only time i enjoyed reading chat while watching this was when everyone started spamming GOOSE at the end, and then it changed to GEESE when player two appeared

Indie direct: here’s a game about death, existentialism, or the afterlife Also indie direct: here’s a wholesome, cheerful game with talking animals

Goose: Prepare for trouble! Other Goose: And make it double!

I’m not gonna lie, I honestly thought that the Indie World animation was a trailer for a Powerpuff girls game for a moment.

The fact that Nintendo gives these indie developers the spotlight, is so awesome. So many of these games would have flown under my radar otherwise

I see you have indie games, but do you have Indi games? Raji: Yes. Huh. Well played.

Goose: Prepare for trouble! Goose2: AND MAKE IT DOUBLE!

Silksong is a myth, a legend. Just your imagination.

Spongebob: "Barnacles! What could be worse than a horrible goose!" Patrick: "Oh I know... TWO horrible geese!"

they should've marketed that last bit as Untitled Geese Game

I feel like without live chat, these directs are good vibes city.

Is it weird to cry at a trailer for a game you've never played? Watching the Spiritfarer trailer I just had this moment of "time to cry" and barely held myself back. I don't cry often I swear!

When Subnautica releases on Switch* My heart after starting to play: "My time has come"

“Oh look another direct can’t wait to see the dislike ratio because people set their expe- wait what!?!?”

Hades' animation was so hOT ah im sorry, Spititfarer looked so cute and a type of calming game same with garden story. Takeshi and Hiroshi looks wholesOme. Having a game with huge hindu influence is sO good, Raji definitely looks really good and exciting. Short Hike is also sO CUTE AAA im really suffering with the "timed console exclusive" Ah, wish i had a nintendo switch 😔👊🏻

*makes 2-player mode in Untitled Goose game* Townspeople: We're in the endgame now

Silksong has turned into Saltsong. All jokes aside let's just be happy that the devs are taking their time and polishing the game. I'd much rather have a complete amazing experience than half assed rushed mess. Take your time Team Cherry!

Just a friendly reminder: "smash is not an indie game"

Me at the start: I hope there is some news about Silksong but I'm cool ether way. Me at the end: Oh cool, Subnautica on switch and multiplayer UGG coming soon! Set realistic goals damit.

Spiritfarer seems like a wholesome way to teach people how to deal with loss. I might get it at some point.

I can't wait for Raji, the market has been screaming for a lovingly made game set in ancient India. It really is a rich mythology to dive into.

8:49 Don't lie to me Nintendo! This isn't heartwarming, the kid's in a hospital, there's a colostomy bag behind him, you just wanna pretend like you didn't add a sad game to the eshop and Oh, it's done installing, tell you how much I cried when I beat it.

Am I the only one hyped for bear and breakfast, I love games like that

the goose game sequel should be called "A Properly Titled Goose Game"

Can we just appreciate how absolutely beautiful all these games look?

13:48 Bro with Eastern European name, living in Spain, introduces himself with a French greeting

Normal people: hey this looks interesting People Who cant read: *Wheres smash wtf!?*

Everyone was saying “wheres fall guys.” THEIR DAY ONE SERVERS COULDNT HANDLE ANYONE. Dont tell me you expect then to have a port already prepared from pc, their development platform, to a completely new system with vastly different inner workings

90% of the comments are people joking about the people complaining about smash.

i appreciate nintendo for letting the creative imagination of independent game creators to be expressed.

Can't wait for the review of Raji, it looks absolutely fantastic Reminds me a lot of Prince of Persia - Sands of Time back in the day

Goose: *gets a second helper* Squidward: THERE'S TWO OF THEM?!

I think if people actually gave indie games a try, they would understand why they’re so important to the gaming world.

Team cherry: no, not this time

12:07 This does give a certain NDS feel, my heart warms just watching that kind of graphics.

“This is getting out of hand. Now, there are two of them”

NO NEW ZELDA in this indie-focused Direct? Shake my head, Nintendo. You have messed with the WRONG epic gamer.

I love how the guy talking about cheating at cards immediately starts by dealing out 4 aces

Wow there's actually a lot of good-looking games here that I didn't know I needed.

Take a shot every time there's an indie game taking place in the after-life

This was actually surprisingly a good indie direct, best one ever in my opinion

Yo, Spiritfarer looks dope.

Of all the games, I think I'm most excited to play Raji: An Ancient Epic. This was a really nice indie showcase, everything looks really great.

Everyone is mad about no smash or silk song and I’m just happy we got a second goose

If those kids could read, they'd be very upset.

"That's it? No Smash?" Comedy genius.

Raji and Hades both look mad! Defo the highlights for me! I never thought I'd see a game like Raji and I am beyond excited to give it a go!

Nintendo: Showing off good indie games People in the live chat: CRINGE NOT NINTENDO RELATED ITS CRINGE

For the people who legitimately wanted Smash, Mario and Zelda, this is an indie direct. Third party games only pretty much. No Nintendo franchises. Don't dislike because of that, dislike if you thought it was a bad direct, but not because of a game that inevitably wasn't gonna be in the direct

Raji has some really good artwork. I'm seeing some other inspirations which weren't mentioned, and I'm already sold. I'm likely soon to be under the strong impression of high quality from the music and level design.

Raji caught my attention. Reminds me of classic Prince of Persia type adventure platform / puzzle, but with a unique world / lore to explore.

Me: had a nightmare about being attacked by a goose House House: 2 GEESE!

Man, that's a lot of "later todays" And they all look great

To be honest I am glad we are having new content whether it is about Smash, Animal Crossing, or Indie

Nintendo: Has Silksong in community post Also Nintendo: Shows no Silksong news

Can't believe that Smash, the best indie game didn't appear.

Untitled Goose Game, Hypnospace, and even Subnautica... how can anyone even say this isn't good.

Who knew DS graphics could be an art style. Short Hike tickles me in all the right ways.

Manifold Garden. I've played a demo this game years ago at a gaming expo and got to meet the creator William Chyr who was a super nice guy and has a degree in physics not game creation. It was an awesome game then. And I've followed the games progress and did a little testing, and its evolved so much. Its basically a MC Escher and gravity physics puzzle game. Very excited to get the full game.

I didn't see the live chat and frankly, I'm glad.

If you ever watch a Nintendo direct live, never read the live chat

The people who put dislike are the kids spamming at the start of the live saying: " *wHeRe iS SMaSh?!?!?* " " *sUpEr mArIO gAlAXy 3?!?!* "

So many talented artists and devs getting their time to shine here! This was a great Indie World, even without Silksong. Even with the uh, AHEM, hosts’ acting. XD

oh my god, A Short Hike has the perfect DS era aesthetic. ive literally seen a few games on the system that have that look to them. thats kind of amazing to see replicated without being limited to the DS hardware.

Oh sweet, I had no idea Raji was coming to Switch. The gameplay reminds me a lot of Prince of Persia, and you don't see a lot of games based on Hindu mythology. Definitely checking it out.

Am glad that many game developers are having a chance in the game spotlight. The new upcoming indie games are looking interesting and fun.

Title: Indie World Showcase Smash fans: that sign can’t stop me because I can’t read!

Man, Spiritfarer has some wonderfully charming art. Raji pulling inspiration from Hindu and Indian lore sounds really cool. Card Shark is a good example of a trailer done right. It was pretty funny and gave a good example of its gameplay. Dag, dwag. If Torchlight 3 is running on Switch in that trailer, then that's impressively smooth given the amount of enemies and effects.

I was hoping for Silksong, but a lot of these look interesting :D

All of these games clearly have so much passion shoved into them and they all look great!

To all my fellow Silksong fans: FEEL THE BLUE BALLS. ENDURE THE PAIN. GIT GUD

Everyone who ACTUALLY thought that there would be a first party title or smash dlc might need some mental help.

OMG Raji looks so beautiful! But really, so many cool indie games announced, thanks Nintendo!

Indie game- A game made by a person or a small company Smash bros Ultimate- A Triple A game. Indie world- A show case of Indie games that will be either out later or now.

I haven't really played any indies, but there were SO MANY games that looked fun. I might get some of them.

Imagine disliking the video because there weren’t big announcements when it’s called an “indie direct”

the virgin mini direct vs the chad indie world

I got Goosebumps. But in all seriousness, that was a high quality and varied presentation of great games. Plus: love them updating us and further showcasing some of the games that had previously appeared in other Indie Worlds. Kudos Nintendo!

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT CARD SHARK THAT LOOKS AMAZING

Here’s a tip when watching the directs. Never look at the chat. Mental health is important people!

These all look amazing! I'm feeling excited about video games for the first time in a long time!

A lot of these looked really good. Good direct. Will definitely purchase more than one I think

11:51 "I'm too young to suffer a TV trope death!" You had my interest, but now you have my full attention.

This direct in a nutshell: *coming later today*

This presentation was really well done, and I'm definitely snapping up a bunch of these games. Spiritfarer in particular.

Already rewatched it a couple of times and I'm liking each game even more.

Not bad for an Indie Direct. There were several games that looked intriguing. Like Hades, Subnautica, Raji, & Evergate. And who doesn't want a second goose? lol Great ending 💯

Everyone: *Specting Silksong at the end* ... *g o o s e*

Spiritfarer looks like that one game that is just really good when you want to relax and meet memorable and/or relatable characters that touch your heart. Ill try it out ASAP when it comes out.

So excited for most of these!!! Thanks Indie devs!! I’m getting some today and can’t wait for future releases !

PS1 Hagrid Approves

It's like the live chat doesn't know how to read, that truly scares me.

This was a great showcase! There’s so many games I want to check out!

This was a really pleasing showcase, I do hope it motivates a turn around for the directs and minidirects!

Goose Co Op was nice. Here's hoping we get some SilkSong next time
