Q*bert repeated the coiled look, added fangs, and had this strange snake-ish spring hop after you like some Slinky nightmare. Pitfall on the Atari 2600 drew them as a coiled obstacle to jump over. In games they usually play the role of the anonymous enemy. In literature or film, they often portend darkness or elicit fear (see: Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark or God’s The Bible). Snakes are not popular videogame protagonists. Like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe? Try Snake Pass.
Here are ten indie titles you can play on your Switch right now. Other anticipated indies are Pocket Rumble, a one-on-one fighter that looks like a Neo Geo Pocket game, and Shakedown Hawaii, from the makers of Retro City Rampage. Some break through and become major hits: Stardew Valley is Switch-bound, as is Towerfall. With E3 looming and a cavalcade of big noisy announcements from established studios around the corner, it’s easy to lose sight of the passion projects eked out by a five-person team with a tiny budget. If you enjoy sliding around asphalt drifting while holding a green shell behind you, perhaps you’ll enjoy slithering around luscious jungles in search of hidden gems. This list spotlights smaller titles paired with a more well-known counterpart. Fewer know the serpentine joy of Sumo Digital’s Snake Pass. Millions of people know and love Mario Kart. And these smaller titles are often the perfect sort of short-burst experience for a console that you can grab and take with you.īut sometimes they don’t get the same level of exposure as Link & Co. Week after week, games from independent studios are filling the gaps between Nintendo’s heavy-hitters, and doing so with aplomb. But those who feared that a post-launch drought might stifle enthusiasm for the system have had little to worry about. Much of this popularity has to do with one or two big blockbuster games from the hardware manufacturer itself, sure. It’s hard to find in stores, and has been the best-selling system since launch. The Nintendo Switch has been on the market for three months now, and at least one thing is clear: people want it.
