Nintendo has just launched the “Inside the House of Indies” Holiday Event, where it will be showcasing new updates and announcements on a range of indie titles over five days, starting now and running until December 24th.
Each day will bring a new video feature on YouTube and a blog post on the official Nintendo website, with today’s episode showing off four new titles including a whole new Risk of Rain game, and an adorable-looking, almost Wind Waker-esque adventure platformer where you’ll play as a gecko. Very excited about that one.
Today’s new game launches include The Captain, a retro-flavoured adventure game with a ton of choice and consequence, and THE PUNCHUIN. Which is about a penguin that punches. Check ’em out:
Out Today On Switch
The Captain: 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: 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.
Coming Soon
The Gecko Gods: Explore this chill puzzle platformer about a tiny gecko exploring a mysterious island while on a mission to save their friend. With unique, immersive gameplay that allows you to climb anything, solve ancient contraptions and clamber through the crumbling ruins of a collapsed society – and if you get hungry along the way, eat some bugs. The Gecko Gods launches next year.
Risk of Rain Returns: Carefully designed, beautifully remastered, and loaded with new ways to play—Risk of Rain is back and better than ever! Dive into the iconic roguelike when Risk of Rain Returns launches next year.
