[Amir Rao] -On behalf of our small team at Supergiant Games,
I'm really excited to announce our rogue-like dungeon crawler, Hades,
is coming to Nintendo Switch.
You play as the immortal Prince of the Underworld, trying to escape Hell.
And each time you die, it's like coming home.
You advance the story, get stronger, and gear up for your next escape attempt.
It's a game you can sink dozens of hours into,
and if you've already done so on PC, you'll be able to transfer your progress
to the Nintendo Switch version with cross-saves.
So, if you like the fast-paced action,
rich atmosphere, and character-driven storytelling of our past titles,
like Bastion and Transistor,
we think you'll find something to love in Hades.
[flashy big band music] [Ariko] -Hi everyone, and welcome to Indie World,
a look forward at some games making their way to Nintendo Switch.
I'm Ariko... [Tyler] -And I'm Tyler.
[Ariko]-and that was a look into the Greek mythology-inspired dungeon crawler: Hades,
[dark acoustic music] from Supergiant Games. [Tyler] -In this game,
you'll ally with members of the Greek pantheon,
wield truly legendary weapons and fight your way through the underworld
as you attempt to escape The God of the Dead.
[Ariko] -Unleash the fury of Olympus,
when Hades makes its system debut on Nintendo Switch this fall.
[music ends]
[funky synth music] [Tyler] -Wow Ariko, are we back in the 90s?!
It's so...radical!
[Ariko] -With all of its groovy GIFs,
animated mouse pointers, and amazingly useful toolbars,
Hypnospace Outlaw is a portal back to the early days of the internet.
[Tyler] -Y-You mean GIF, right? Scour the weirdest corners of the net,
dodge computer viruses, and hunt down hackers and other virtual villains,
as you seek to crack cases on the digital streets of Hypnospace.
[Ariko] -You won't have to wait long to start cruising through cyberspace.
Hypnospace Outlaw launches August 27th on Nintendo Switch.
You can pre-purchase the game,
or download a demo of it from Nintendo eShop later today. [music ends]

make some lasting memories before you have to say a final farewell
to those not long for this world.
[Tyler] -As the Spiritfarer Stella,
help the spirits of the dead make their way into the afterlife
by transporting them across the seas on your hand-crafted ferry.
[Ariko] -Befriend passengers, customize your boat,
explore an imaginative world or just go wherever the wind takes you.
While you may be transporting your spirit friends to the afterlife,
it doesn't mean you can't have a little fun along the way.

[Picogram] -Hi! I'm Picogram, the developer for Garden Story.
One of my goals for Garden Story is to inspire community stewardship,
and showcase the importance of coming together
to help one another when times get tough,
I hope players enjoy the world that I've created,
and perhaps learn to call it a home away from home!
[Jenny] -Hi, I'm Jenny, from Rose City Games.
We're proud to be working with Picogram to bring this game to life,
and super excited to announce Garden Story will be coming to Nintendo Switch,

and stave off the dangerous Rot.
[Tyler] -Cultivate friendships, gather precious resources and restore buildings
to help unite the Grove, so everyone can enjoy the fruits of their labor together.
Garden Story will bloom on Nintendo Switch next year.
[eerie synth music] [Tyler] -You've crash-landed on an alien world,
and the only way to go... is down.
[Ariko] -Surrounded by water on all sides,
dive into the depths of Subnautica's vast oceans to collect resources,
craft underwater structures,
and uncover just what happened to this watery world.
[Tyler] -If you really want to delve deep,
build your own submarine, and discover the exotic flora and fauna
that call this planet home.
Just watch out for some of the more aggressive animals
that may not take kindly to your expeditions.
[Ariko] -And for explorers seeking a frozen adventure,
the sequel: Subnautica Below Zero will have divers
trying to survive the frigid temperatures of planet 4546B.
Subnautica and Subnautica Below Zero
will both launch on Nintendo Switch next year.
[lighthearted piano music]
[Tyler] -This animation style really is something Ariko!
[Ariko] -As young game designer to-be, Takeshi,
your goal is to entertain your little brother Hiroshi
with the latest chapter of your game,
in this charming RPG.

and craft cool challenges, but don't make things too difficult.
You'll need to strike a delicate balance
to make your game a truly unforgettable adventure.
[Ariko] -Discover this heart-warming tale of brotherly bonding,
when Takeshi & Hiroshi launches on Nintendo Switch later today.

[Shruti] -Hi, I'm Shruti Ghosh,
one of the co-founders and art directors at Nodding Heads Games.
I'm here to talk to you about our very first title, Raji: An Ancient Epic.
Raji is an action adventure game, set in ancient India,
that dives deep into the rich tapestry of Indian culture,
taking inspiration from Hindu and Balinese mythology.
All of us here at the studio
have grown up hearing such wonderful Hindu tales of epic proportions,
surrounded by architectural marvels
and the vast diversity India has to offer.
We hope you'll enjoy playing Raji,
as much as we have loved and enjoyed making it.

[Ariko] -Defend the world against the forces of the mighty demon lord,
in Raji: An Ancient Epic.
[Tyler] -In this intense action adventure, mastering divine weapons,
such as the fearsome Sharanga bow and the three-pronged Trishula,
is vital to your survival.
[Ariko] -With its striking art based on ancient Pahari paintings,
and the medieval architecture of Rajasthan,
this is an adventure unlike any you've seen before.
[Tyler] -Polish your weapons and get ready to battle,
when Raji: An Ancient Epic
releases later today "as a timed console exclusive" on Nintendo Switch.

increase your establishment's reputation,
and watch as customers flood in to stay at your little slice of paradise.
Did we mention Hank's a bear?
[Tyler] -Just be careful about what dwells deep within the forest as your business expands.
You never know what secrets are hiding out there in the wilderness.
[Ariko] -Be among the first to book your reservation when Bear and Breakfast

[cheery acoustic music] [Tyler] -Lace up your walking boots Ariko,
we're going on a hike!

of Hawk Peak Provincial Park in: A Short Hike,
a game all about going at your own pace.
[Tyler] -Whether you stick to the marked trails,
or go a-wanderin' through the backcountry,
there's plenty to discover as you take in the world around you.
You could even find some treasure hidden off the beaten path!
[Ariko] -Make sure to say hi to the other hikers making their way around the park too,
they're bound to lend you a helping hand.
You can even go for a jaunt on the water,
should the mood strike you.
[Tyler] -You'll be able to hit the trail very soon,
as A Short Hike launches later today on Nintendo Switch,
as a timed console exclusive!

My name is Nicolai Troshinsky.
I am delighted to present to you, Card Shark,
