Thumper was one of the games that was confirmed for the Switch at the Nintendo Switch Nindies Showcase in February. Since then, we haven’t heard much about it. Curiously, the game was actually shown off during the latest Nintendo Direct – but only in the Japanese version, despite the game being developed by a Western studio. It seems like NoE and NoA wanted less of a focus on indie games in their respective Directs.

The Japanese Direct revealed that Thumper will launch in May in Japan. We don’t know its European or North American release date yet, but thankfully, it’s easy to access the eShops of other regions on the Switch.

Indie developer Causal Games has recently been interviewed by Nintendo World Report about their upcoming Ghouls ‘n Ghosts inspired game, Battle Princess Madelyn, which will presumably come out by February 2018 on various platforms.

But talking specifically about the Wii U and Switch versions, Causal Games has brought the possibilty of a physical release to the table. They would love to create a physical Switch cartridge for Battle Princess Madelyn and are in fact looking into making it happen, but for now they cannot confirm anything.

“Wii U will probably not be physical, but if we were able to we would love to! Switch we’re looking into, but can’t confirm anything just yet!”

It would be great to have another indie title with a Switch physical edition.

Powerhoof is “looking into” a potential Switch version of Crawl, the developer said on Twitter today. When asked by a fan about the possibility, the indie studio wrote:

Crawl just came out today. It’s a local multiplayer dungeon crawler in which your friends control the monsters. Combining bullet-hell beat-em-up gameplay with old-school RPGs, the “arcadey party-game” supports up to four players.

Here’s the premise:

“One player is the hero, exploring a randomly generated dungeon full of traps and monsters – all controlled by the other players. If you slay the hero you take their place and it’s your turn to crawl! Then it’s a race to gain enough XP and loot to reach the final battle, where it’s all on one as the other players collectively control the hulking final boss!”

And a trailer:
