Indie Game Developers Commend Nintendo For Embracing Their Games

The Switch is 2 years old and countless indie developerss have been sharing their experience on the platform in interviews with Time magazine.

Nintendo’s push for indie content is bigger than ever on Switch with games like Undertale, Celeste, Hollow Knight, and The Messenger becoming fan loved games on the system.

Below is a quote from Nigel Lowrie, co-founder of publisher Devolver Digital, in a TIME feature.

“It became very clear when the Switch came out, Nintendo, who have been really fantastic since, had started reaching out aggressively. They were contacting us, other devs, other pubs, engaging with us at PAX and GDC, making a conscious effort to see what we were up to … and to this day are pretty active in checking in to see what we have coming and working to promote our games side-by-side with their games, which is impressive to see.”

But there’s also some incentive from Nintendo that is evident.

“It’s an open secret with Nintendo that they’ve not tried to keep pace with the graphical fidelity of other consoles,” says Ghost Town Games co-founder Phil Duncan. “And as such they have to distinguish themselves via the software that’s available.”
