2018 has been another stellar year for gaming with a mixture of major releases, remakes, and more indie gems than we know what to do with all clamouring for our attention (and our hard-earned cash). To celebrate, Nintendo has put together this short video, showcasing some of the very best Nindies to grace the Switch this year.
Games featured include Dead Cells, Flat Heroes, The Messenger, The Gardens Between, Inside, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Gris, Mark of the Ninja: Remastered, Horizon Chase Turbo, Iconoclasts, Into The Breach, Wandersong, Crypt of the Necrodancer, and Flipping Death, some of which even managed to make a dent in our staff Game of the Year awards thanks to their amazing levels of quality.
Of course, 2019 is shaping up to be just as spectacular, with games like Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes coming on 18th January, and Shovel Knight: King of Cards arriving on 9th April to name just a couple. We'll also be getting our hands on one of our most highly anticipated titles of 2019 - Untitled Goose Game.

I still enjoy Portal Knights since year 2017.
For this year (2018), I have finished Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles in 8 days.
@Anti-Matter Hollowknight is my fav.
I've played Hollowknight for over 80 hours. I love Dead Cells, and I can't wait to play Gris and Celeste.
It was a pretty good year for indies, no doubt!
Nice trailer.
What was the music playing? I like it.
Iconoclasts did not get remotely enough love. Such a stellar Metroidvania. And one that is tough without being absurdly difficult, like some indie games tend to be.
Currently however I am finally playing the Shantae games, since they were on sale last week. Do those count as indies too? I feel like they do.
