In the new Nyannyan Neko Mario Time episode just posted by Nintendo, several new indie titles for Switch were announced. One of these we felt deserves special mention. Based on the video, we can now say that Owlboy is coming to Switch.
After it was in development for nearly a decade, Owlboy made it to Steam towards the end of last year and has been highly well-regarded. There’s no release date at this time, but at least we know that it’s on the way.
Here’s a good look at Owlboy via a trailer:
A special episode of Nyannyan Neko Mario Time has been published on Nintendo’s YouTube page. In the video, several new and upcoming games are showcased for Switch to promote BitSummit 2017 coming this weekend. Cat Quest, She Remembered Caterpillars, and Nine Parchments from Frozenbyte are just some of the new titles revealed for the platform. Check out the full video below.
UNIQLO is now selling the special t-shirts based on its contest collaboration with Nintendo. Various clothing is up for grabs featuring the designs of various winners. Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and more all all represented.
You can order the t-shirts on UNIQLO’s website here. These designs should also start to appear in stores tomorrow.
The team behind Drool stopped by Reddit today to answer questions from fans about Switch’s new game Thumper. Brian Gibson and Marc Flury, the studio’s two developers, attended the Reddit AMA. Fans asked Gibson and Flury about how long it took to port Thumper to Switch and the challenges involved, the possibility of a demo, ideas that were cut during original development, and more.
We’ve posted these excerpts below. For the full AMA, head on over here.
It looks like fans of Mutant Mudds will have something new to sink their teeth into soon, as the Mutant Mudds: Official Art and Design Works book was just confirmed through the Twitter of a designer on the game.
There’s no word on a price or release date yet. It was also referred to as a “side project”, so it may be somewhat far off. You can check out the original Twitter post below.
Super awesome side project!! Mutant Mudds: Official Art and Design Works (printed book) coming soon! Here's a sneak peek. pic.twitter.com/pQdt3tqidY

The final bit of news stemming from this month’s NPD report concerns platform-specific sales. Over on GamesBeat, the site has published a listing of the top sellers in the US on Switch and 3DS for the month of April. Additionally, we have the lineup of the best-selling games of 2017 so far. Head past the break for the full results.
April 2017 was an extremely good month for Nintendo sales. In the U.S., the company not only owned the top spot in gaming hardware sales, but the second position as well.
As we know, Switch was the overall top seller. Right behind it though is the NES Classic Edition.
Nintendo is no longer producing the NES Classic Edition. The platform has been phased out worldwide, and April was the final month for shipments.
