It’s the season of giving, and Nintendo have gotten in on the act, giving us a range of new information on a selection of new and upcoming independently developed games via a blog on their website that they’re dubbing the “Inside The House Of Indies“.
“Welcome to Day 1 of the Inside the House of Indies holiday event! Join us each day this week at 9 a.m. PT for a brand-new video highlighting game updates, announcements, and more from our indie partners. The first video is fresh out the oven now. Be sure not to miss an update, and happy holidays!” The blog reads.
Today they kicked off Day 1 of the event by showcasing four titles, two that you can play now, and two others that can be wishlisted ahead of their future launch. Usually when a publisher chooses to spotlight titles, its because they can see some quality in them, so they might be games to keep your eyes out for.
The Day 1 post reads,
