The Indie Gold Rush Will Continue on Switch
Of all the business strategies Nintendo employed when launching the Switch, its focus on indies was arguably one of the most important. Many games have been given a second chance on Nintendo’s hybrid console, with many developers reporting that their game’s sales on Switch have eclipsed those on other platforms. The lure of being able to take a library of high-quality of indie titles on the go is a powerful one which has no doubt helped pushed many units during the Switch’s dry periods.
2018 will continue this gold rush of acclaimed and quirky indies on Nintendo Switch, which will likely continue to be a lucrative platform for developers looking to reach a new audience. This year has already seen a number of fantastic indie games releases in the form of Celeste, Night in the Woods and Shu, so if the rest of the year carries on at the same pace, we could be in for another awesome year with Nintendo Switch.
