As reported earlier this week, Nintendo has launched a weeklong “House of Indies” event – where it reveals game updates, announcements, and more from Indie developers each day leading up to Christmas. Well, here’s the second batch of indie treats!
This time, Nintendo revealed the shadow-drop of two games today – the first being The Captain (from Sysiac Games & Tomorrow Corporation) and the second being THE PUNCHUIN (from Fast RMX developer Shin’en). Along with this, Nintendo also shared that The Gecko Gods and Risk of Rain Returns would be heading to Switch in the future!
Check it out below, along with additional details via Nintendo:

The Captain from Sysiac Games & Tomorrow Corporation
In this retro-inspired adventure game you will have to race back home across the galaxy. Collect new friends on your journey. Make new enemies. You won’t be able to save everyone. Who will you leave behind? Which civilizations will you save – or destroy – along the way? The decisions are all up to you.
THE PUNCHUIN from Shin’en
You are on a quest to solve the mystery of the treasure of Punch Mountain. Punch your way down, collect money and diamonds, improve your punching skills and make some new friends along the way. Punch your way to the treasure in single player Adventure mode or play against your friends using split screen in Versus mode.
Add these games to your wish list!
