Indies Attack: Indie Games Month

Cat|4007d ago |Blog Post|8|

Next week at 12:01 a.m. on July 1st, the inaugural Indie Games Month hits N4G.

Every single day of July we’ll be featuring indie devs and their work with interviews, reveals, guest blogs and perhaps most important to your greedy little hearts: GIVEAWAYS. Yes, there will be free games, gift cards and hugs given out every single day during July.

Worried about missing something? We’ll have a beautiful widget occupying mainpage space so all you have to do is visit N4G.com every day while your eyes are open! You can also follow us on Twitter for handy reminders. This is called “being on social”:

I can't believe July is nearly here! It's been a blast.

coolbeans4007d ago

That's a lot of content to tackle for that many writers. Nice going, fellas. Can't wait for July!

"Yes, there will be free games, gift cards and hugs given out every single day during July."

You won't have much luck hugging me, I'm afraid.

hopefully VRR via a firmware update is released for docked play as well (like the PS5 did post release)

fr0sty8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

There's actually a pretty long list of games on PS5 that support 120hz. Even more with 60+hz unlocked, and that isn't even counting PS5 Pro.

badz1499h ago

err...is it even HDMI 2.1 on that thing?

repsahj8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Yes, according to the dock teardown. It contains HDMI hardware chip of Realtek RTD2175N that supports 4K 120hz. And the HDMI included on the Switch 2 is HDMI 2.1.

It'll outsell it within a year easily

Gameseeker_Frampt54m ago

Could be a 3DS though. 3DS outsold DS by 2:1 in its first year in the United States yet lifetime sales ended up being less than half.

repsahj17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

I'm happy for Nintendo. Even though the Switch 2 has received so much hate just to bring it down, it hasn't won. Even though some are saying they'll boycott Nintendo, it hasn't affected sales. Especially now, with word of mouth that the system is good, demand for the Switch 2 will definitely increase more.

Profchaos12h ago

Yeah loud minorities that were not going to buy it anyway

ZeekQuattro3h ago

Considering the record sales the Switch 2 is seeing around the globe its clear a portion of the loud minority clearly bought the device.

Profchaos12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

But But the internet told me the switch 2 was going to be a failure.

Such a good system im having a blast with it and really enjoying my first ever playthrough of yakuza 0

You shouldn’t care about the sales of a game company

babadivad11h ago

Sold through or to the stores? Asking because they're tons of them at my local Best Buy. When the PS5 and Series consoles launched, you couldn't find them anywhere.

OtterX9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

The article clearly says sold. If it were shipped, it would say shipped.

Nintendo had been saying the last year or so that they would be flooding stock so that scalpers would not be an issue. They've followed through with their word. It's not cutting edge tech, so it's been easier for them to sit on stock for a while until it accumulated to a massive number available to be shipped.

babadivad8m ago

Companies often use shipped and sold interchangeably. Regardless of what it is, supply hasn't been an issue at all.

Good-Smurf10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Good for them, I'm still not buying.
Looks to be a pretty safe and boring upgrade over Switch 1 which I don't think they can top it on how plain looking it is design wise.
Shame since Switch Lite showed they still know how to make a handheld that looks good and is actually portable in a classic Nintendo sense.
That's why I got one over Switch 2's block of charcoal.
Then there's the prices of it all and the whole Key card thing destroyed any sense of game ownership.

Profchaos10h ago

There'll be a number of revisions for the s2 like a s2 lite or oled also seems inevitable

Good-Smurf9h ago

Unless they drop the prices and actually has a more portable variant that can also dock then maybe I'll reconsider but as of now, nope too big too boring and expensive to make it worth this early, not enough of its own games atm as well.

Profchaos8h ago

Who knows removing the dock capabilities would lower the cost of the unit pretty significantly.

The cost of the dock, reduction in shipping costs etc bug savings which will enable a cheaper system
