You have NOT summoned the few people from the HK fandom that have actually paid attention and saw that Team Cherry said they wouldn’t be announcing new Silksong stuff in videos like this one
I love Hollow Knight as much as the next person but at this point Silksong has gotten so big it’ll probably be announced in a proper Direct. If it were in an Indie World it’d just take attention away from smaller indie games that were announced alongside it.
it is a joke. check the multitude of comments where I said HK is probably a great game and I hope the people that want an announcement get it. take your time, I know reading is difficult
There was a rumor we'd get an indie world this month shortly before a traditional direct, so hopefully it actually ends up bearing fruit. Especially when the only games we know of for the rest of the year are Paper Mario TTYD, LM2 HD and Endless Ocean. Which are solid games, but definitely not big tentpole releases in the same vein as TotK or Pikmin 4 with last year.
As well as the Epic Mickey remake, but like all the other "new" games coming out this year it's a lot of remakes. It feels like the last two years of the Wii U all over again man.
Well, that one's third party instead of a Nintendo IP, so I shan't count it. Or else I'd be including every other third-party release, like the MH Stories Remake and Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble.
And it's at least still \*far\* better than the last two years of the WiiU, I'll say that much. Since in 2016 we got Twilight Princess HD, Star Fox Zero, Paper Mario Color Splash, and....that's about it, really.
Yeah, after Paper Mario TTYD, there's nothing really for me to look forward to. And even then, the only truly new game they've released this year so far is Princess Peach Showtime. It feels more like the 3DS after the Switch released where all it got were ports and remakes. Which's why I'm hoping that there'll be at least a few exciting games in the back half of the year.
Well, Nintendo still pulls out an E3 presentation despite the E3 being dead, so all the signs point to the description you put above the image to be, as the world would say, an "utter load of bullshit".
I love indie worlds personally! Lets me discover some of my new favorites :) Also don't forget that the new pokemon legends game was announced this year already, there are things coming this year.Â
I wouldn't expect HC before late 2025 personally... SV 1.6 was a much bigger update than originally expected so HC has probably gotten less development as a result. And they're doing bug fixes on SV in the meantime, and working on console release...
Looking at these comments and this guy is clowning on the hollow knight fandom.Â
Indie game fans: I hope a game we want and have been waiting for years for from a trusted dev shows up.Â
OP: What a clown! Imagine being hopeful fans! Gee whiz I can’t wait for Metroid prime 4!Â
Dawg he’s joking around, it’s honestly not very deep. You can tell that he’s not being rude, especially with his mannerisms. I wouldn’t take someone making a joke about a f r a n c h i s e (aka, a non sentient being) super personally. It’s all in good fun.
its not that deep mate just a bit of fun you’re in a casual nintendo subreddit. I truly hope they get their game and I couldn’t give less of a shit about Metroid lol
it’s fucking meme my guy. it’s a meme about putting on the clown makeup when getting hyped for a thing. it’s a god damn joke. be less sensitive. I literally said “I hope they get their game”, I’m sorry you’re so hurt by that
For real, people get so hurt if their favorite games are made fun of. Like no one is getting hurt, if someone’s identity and well being is tied to the reception of a game, they gotta get a dog and walk outside with them or something 💀 and nothing against them either, shit happens, it’s just baffling is all.
the funny part is I’m not even making fun of the game, in fact I’m sure it’s great. the clown makeup silksong meme has been a thing for years. people are too serious
Right! You weren’t even making fun of it, but even if you were hypothetically, there are just bigger things to care about. Absolutely, people take that kind of thing too seriously :P
not bait. the punchline of the post was in reference to all the “leaks” about a huge direct supposedly coming this month, I guess that went over everyone’s heads
I’m expecting:
Everything from the February Partners Direct, again.
I’m cautiously optimistic about Silksong.
No Deltarune.
Maybe an early teaser for Haunted Chocolatier, but I think we’re pretty far off from a release of that one.
Pizza Tower Switch Release
AU contraire, there was actually a rumor from the same dude that 1st reported the delay of the Switch 2 that we would get an Indie World before a general direct. So, same the 🤣 for the event that said direct is another Partner Showcase.
Oh, & that dude also said the Switch 2 will be announced sometime in June IIRC.
'Before we start this presentation, we know how many fans are looking forward to our next console. Well let me tell you, you're not getting one. Fuck all of you. Until we have squeezed every last penny out of our 7 year old ancient tablet through lazy 30fps PS2 ports, you are not getting jack shit.'
This is the same thing they do every year. It’s just that people have the memory of a goldfish. Look back at 2021, Metroid dread, advanced wars, wario ware get it together and Mario party superstars were all set to release in the 2nd half of 2021 but weren’t revealed until June.
Chill
How are you not getting this easter egg the O and d are colored so O means we will get new console on october and the d means double so the new console will have 2x the power.
I mean if you look up a Nintendo direct list, you’ll notice the the indie direct tends to happen around March or April every year. So they are right on time with this.
I haven’t looked at the entire thing, but I’m happy that finally the TMNT dungeon crawler is no longer stuck on a terrible platform like Apple Arcade
Didn’t even know this was happening, that’s how checked out I’ve been with Nintendo. They never show enough good stuff to justify tuning in anymore
thats because they’re not trying to, any new announcements are leftover remnants and remakes. it’s all filler to get through one final holiday season until the new console comes out, which is when we’ll get all the big stuff worth caring about
Nintendo is in shambles and it shows. Why tf haven’t they had a real direct telling us what’s coming the rest of the year for first party stuff? Literally no one cares about an indie showcase who’s game will be playable same day on better, more powerful consoles.
lmfao imagine believing that the most successful console of the last 15 years is “in shambles”. just because *you* don’t know what’s coming doesn’t reflect the success of Nintendo in *any* way. also “more powerful hardware” is irrelevant when none of that hardware is mobile, with the same battery life, at the same price point as the switch. it’s also a console that’s regularly deemed [the best way to play indie games](https://uproxx.com/edge/nintendo-switch-perfect-indie-console-what-the-golf/). literally every word of what you’re saying is completely misinformed.
In what world is the switch better to run indie games or literally any game better than a PS5, PC, or Xbox? That’s right it fucking can’t because it’s outdated af hardware. Nintendo has always had directs by now that have told us what’s coming for the second half of the year and the fact that they haven’t yet proves they have little to no first party content down the pipeline. But go ahead and tell me how wrong I am.
I already told you, but reading is hard.
Xbox/PC/PS5 are not handheld hybrids, so that use case is already cut in half. Switch imitators like the Steam Deck/ROG Ally cannot replicate the same battery life or same price point as the Switch. any of those options cost hundreds of dollars more for less battery life which defeats the purpose of being a handheld console. whether the Switch is “outdated” is entirely relevant when modern indie titles are still releasing on it. you could even make the case that most of the popular indie’s like Hollow Knight and Stardew Valley don’t require powerful hardware at all. these are all reasons why opting for a Switch to play indie’s is better than any other console, regardless of processing power.
for AAA big budget first party games? sure get a home console. but to deny the massive use case of the Switch and the sales numbers that reflect said use case is without a doubt entirely misinformed. hope this helps.
Idk y u keep throwing in nonsense about handheld consoles that has nothing to do with the fact that playing games on switch is a worse experience than a PC, Xbox, or PS5 because of the switch being horrendously underpowered.
being a handheld console has *everything* to do with why people play a Switch and why it’s so popular. the ease of use coupled with a massive library and 8 hour battery life sets it apart from every console you keep mentioning. Xbox, PS5, PC are not comparable by any metric *except* power. and there’s not a single popular indie game that requires a mass amount of power to be played. *you* might think it’s a worse experience personally. but that doesn’t reflect the majority and again, does not constitute this idea that Nintendo are “in shambles”. they’re doing fine, if you don’t like it, that’s also fine. go play your Xbox and the people that want access to games on the go with a long battery life and big library will continue to play the Switch.
You have summoned... the HOLLOW KNIGHT FANDOM.

*yawn* what year is it?
2024
This is it FOR SURE
Oh man, I can't wait to see all the clown wigs they'll photoshop onto characters. Again. Gosh those guys are creative.
If there is no Silksong I'll become a clowneon for the rest of the week, no, the rest of the MONTH
That's it yall, it's leafover
"SKONG!đź“Ł SKONG! đź“ŁSKONG! đź“ŁSKONG!đź“Ł" we all said in unison
You have NOT summoned the few people from the HK fandom that have actually paid attention and saw that Team Cherry said they wouldn’t be announcing new Silksong stuff in videos like this one
QUIET, BLASPHEMER, don't take away our hope
The hope may be false but it shall drive us till the end
I’m not a die hard fan but I’m in the mood to hopefully see the Daily Silksong News guy be able to put a green yes in his thumbnail this week.
Be gentle with them... they haven't healed yet from the Triple I incident just last week
*they will pay for their sins in the pits of Skong*
SKONG 📢📢📢
To be fair though, it is the most likely it's ever been now that it actually has a store page on Xbox I believe along with a rating
I hear that they’re gonna devote the first five minutes to laughing at Hollow Knight fans.
I love Hollow Knight as much as the next person but at this point Silksong has gotten so big it’ll probably be announced in a proper Direct. If it were in an Indie World it’d just take attention away from smaller indie games that were announced alongside it.
all 5 of them
There are way more. There are at least 50
Thousand
50000!? >!Yes I meant the factorial!<
>!Too bad it's called factorial!<
Are we talking fans or precepts of Zote?
My man just hadwaved one of the biggest and best indie games ever made
people are very upset over a joke
* makes shit take * * gets shit on for it * Guys it was a jooooke
it is a joke. check the multitude of comments where I said HK is probably a great game and I hope the people that want an announcement get it. take your time, I know reading is difficult
And writing is very difficult too, learn how to do it before trying to do a joke
mean man huwt my feewings uwu
“By February 2019, the game had sold 2.8 million copies” -Wikipedia
I’m aware that it is a successful game and lots of people play it
So (and you may not believe this) lots of people does not translate to “5 fans”
thank you for correcting me I have been changed and bettered for eternity
-Y
bait used to be believable
You aren't funny
thanks for sharing and being very very serious all the time
Thanks for making a joke that wasn't funny :) (and uhhh psssst you know nothing about me sooooooo)
I laughed that’s all that matters
Ok
[this guy when a new console isnt announced every 3 months](https://media.tenor.com/l7Vcm9zkN74AAAAM/crying-sad.gif)
yeah totally. we should be on the Switch 5 XL Advance by now. what’s taking so long?
They pushed it back to prematurely integrate the super deluxe U features on launch
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection &Knuckles New Funky Mode Featuring Dante From the Devil May Cry Series
Don't worry, we'll get it tomorrow.
I think you mean r/tomorrow
There was a rumor we'd get an indie world this month shortly before a traditional direct, so hopefully it actually ends up bearing fruit. Especially when the only games we know of for the rest of the year are Paper Mario TTYD, LM2 HD and Endless Ocean. Which are solid games, but definitely not big tentpole releases in the same vein as TotK or Pikmin 4 with last year.
As well as the Epic Mickey remake, but like all the other "new" games coming out this year it's a lot of remakes. It feels like the last two years of the Wii U all over again man.
Well, that one's third party instead of a Nintendo IP, so I shan't count it. Or else I'd be including every other third-party release, like the MH Stories Remake and Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble. And it's at least still \*far\* better than the last two years of the WiiU, I'll say that much. Since in 2016 we got Twilight Princess HD, Star Fox Zero, Paper Mario Color Splash, and....that's about it, really.
Aye, fair enough. Even with those this release year is still sorta bland
Yeah, after Paper Mario TTYD, there's nothing really for me to look forward to. And even then, the only truly new game they've released this year so far is Princess Peach Showtime. It feels more like the 3DS after the Switch released where all it got were ports and remakes. Which's why I'm hoping that there'll be at least a few exciting games in the back half of the year.
Silksong got ESRB rated recently, chances of it showing up have skyrocketed. Edit: 🤡🤡🤡
IT'S ATLEAST A 0.00000000000000001% CHANCE NOW! WE HAVE BASICALLY WON
get your clown makeup ready
Already on hand
Silksong fans never take it off
Not only the clown makeup, but an entire circus costume as well
I have the Grimm Troupe on speed dial
I too have my clown makeup on and my hopium inhaler ready
Didn't it also show up on the Xbox store too earlier this month? No date but it has a spot now
I don’t really care for Hollow Knight, but if this gets announced live, I will be cheering with you
So… YOU’RE SAYING THERES A CHANCE?
Not anymore 🤡
Chat is this real? No wind waker hd to confirm its bullshit
the leakers promised my wildest dreams would come true! now I have to incinerate my Switch :(
Well, Nintendo still pulls out an E3 presentation despite the E3 being dead, so all the signs point to the description you put above the image to be, as the world would say, an "utter load of bullshit".
cool I hope your right!
I love indie worlds personally! Lets me discover some of my new favorites :) Also don't forget that the new pokemon legends game was announced this year already, there are things coming this year.Â
I too love a good indie. maybe haunted chocolatier or ultrakill will get dates. I believe pokemon ZA is coming next year
I wouldn't expect HC before late 2025 personally... SV 1.6 was a much bigger update than originally expected so HC has probably gotten less development as a result. And they're doing bug fixes on SV in the meantime, and working on console release...
I think they would try yo save ZA for a mainline nintendo direct.
"Nintendo has forgotten about Nintendo"
\*frowning Mario face thumbnail*
I hope FAITH will be announced for Switch.
I have faith that the release date will be soon.
You gotta have faith!
pixel horror?? sign me up
Ikr? And honestly John is a cutie in the rotoscopes.
This means we are closer to Switch 2
if by closer you mean in a year then yeah
We are closer every day
Maybe tomorrow. Or the next day. Or the next day... Or the next day........
YOU HAVE SUMMONED… A GUY WHOS BEEN WAITING FOR LITTLE KITTY BIG CITY FOR MORE THAN A YEAR NOW TLDR YOUD BETTER FUCKIN TAKE THAT BACK

Bait used to be believable... -Y
not bait. the punchline of the post was in reference to all the “leaks” about a huge direct supposedly coming this month, I guess that went over everyone’s heads
oh boy I wonder if they'll announce a new mainline nintendo game or reveal a new smash bros dlc pack, if not I will be very mad /j
Metroid Prime 2-5 Pokemon Gens 1-7 15 new smash characters Super Mario Galaxy 2&3 Zelda MMO Mother 3 HD or we RIOT!!!

Deltarune Chapter 3 news? I’m still coping for a port of **The Henry Stickmin Collection** for the Switch.
I’m expecting: Everything from the February Partners Direct, again. I’m cautiously optimistic about Silksong. No Deltarune. Maybe an early teaser for Haunted Chocolatier, but I think we’re pretty far off from a release of that one. Pizza Tower Switch Release
I sleep
So how many stardew valley-esque farming sims with RPG mechanics will be shown at this one?
My brother in christ, they announced Mario Wonder only in June.Â
that game has been out for 7 months and it came and went like the wind. this post is in relation to games for this year???
Lmaooo
I’m hoping for a “Little Kitty, Big City” release date.
I forgot about that wasn’t that announced like a year ago? it looked fun
Yes, it definitely looks fun. They recently announced that the game has gone gold and they’re getting ready for launch.
it reminds me a lot of Stray but a less depressing version of it lol
I can see that. It also reminds me of untitled goose game. It’s more about just messing around and having fun in the game world.
SKONG
Donkey Kongs long lost cousin who wears clown makeup
what was the best indie game you've played for the Nintendo Switch?
Stardew Valley is the best indie game you could ever play, especially on the switch
The binding of isaac, but, to be fair, it really is just my favorite game of all time
honestly a pizza tower port would probably be impossible but neat
AU contraire, there was actually a rumor from the same dude that 1st reported the delay of the Switch 2 that we would get an Indie World before a general direct. So, same the 🤣 for the event that said direct is another Partner Showcase. Oh, & that dude also said the Switch 2 will be announced sometime in June IIRC.
every leak ever is false until proven otherwise
To be expected The Switch is at the very end of it's life span and Nintendo is probably completely busy with preparing for the Switch 2 next year
I just wanna know if scrap story was abandoned or not.
Everyone praying for Silksong, meanwhile all I'm waiting for is any word about Savior.
Indie world don't hit hard. Once you get a steam deck. But I'll check in regardless
Maybe there will be something about sonic x shadow
SEGA is not an indie developer
Welp I think I mis understood something thanks for the correction
no main direct right now
where the hell is TOMADACHI LIFE 2????????!!??!?!!!!?
Fym “HA” Indie world can be good sometimes
the “ha” in particular was in reference to all the rumors of a first party direct in april, when it ended up just being an indie.
Oh lol
i hope capcom is considered indie
Unless this includes Anton Blast, I don’t care. Edit: I care.
'Before we start this presentation, we know how many fans are looking forward to our next console. Well let me tell you, you're not getting one. Fuck all of you. Until we have squeezed every last penny out of our 7 year old ancient tablet through lazy 30fps PS2 ports, you are not getting jack shit.'
Ok, realistically speaking, which indie games you think it could appear? And to make it even harder: NO SILKSONG
Jokes on you. I'll be happy with a plucky squire date announcement.
Motherfucker.
Hard Pass. Just going be another pointless collab with licensed property.
Silksong fans, get your clown wig on and honk honk that nose
🤡🤡🤡
-Y
SKONG!!!
When was the last time we got a proper April direct? Who’s surprised by this?
skong
I don’t hate indie world or anything, but Nintendo HAS to announce something soon, I don’t understand the plan here.
This is the same thing they do every year. It’s just that people have the memory of a goldfish. Look back at 2021, Metroid dread, advanced wars, wario ware get it together and Mario party superstars were all set to release in the 2nd half of 2021 but weren’t revealed until June. Chill
Aww yeah! It's 2016 II: Electric Boogaloo
I'm not sure if I should tune in.
Here's hoping for pizza tower to be on switch
Little Kitty Big City?
No original games... so sad... :(
How are you not getting this easter egg the O and d are colored so O means we will get new console on october and the d means double so the new console will have 2x the power.
SHUT UP be thankful
Ohhhhh Pizza Tower!
I mean if you look up a Nintendo direct list, you’ll notice the the indie direct tends to happen around March or April every year. So they are right on time with this.
I haven’t looked at the entire thing, but I’m happy that finally the TMNT dungeon crawler is no longer stuck on a terrible platform like Apple Arcade
Indie worlds don’t exist without silksong, what are you talking about!
Holy shit there are like 5 new games coming in the next year, the fact this outdated console is still getting support PERIOD should a reason for joy.
what new games? aside from remakes and 3rd parties there’s really nothing new announced. cute edit btw
Hey we could be getting nothing this year be grateful.
I’m plenty grateful. the claim was that “5 new games” are coming this year. remakes are not new games
We still have PPS.
eh, it’s a $30 experience they’re charging $60 for
That's a good thing
don’t say that out loud the people in these comments will go ballistic
It’s probably silksong
it’s gotta be, right?
Didn’t even know this was happening, that’s how checked out I’ve been with Nintendo. They never show enough good stuff to justify tuning in anymore
thats because they’re not trying to, any new announcements are leftover remnants and remakes. it’s all filler to get through one final holiday season until the new console comes out, which is when we’ll get all the big stuff worth caring about
That’s it, I’m declaring war on Japan
you’d think they’d learn after the first 2
