Every Monday, Jason gathers up all the Nintendo Indie news of the past week and wraps it up within 5 minutes on the Indie Corner Weekly Wrap-Up show.
"Adventures of Pip", the charming retro-inspired platformer where a single pixel evolves (and devolves!) between three forms to become a hero from Tic Toc Games, spreads nostalgic cheer on the Nintendo Switch system Thursday, September 10th.
Neil writes: "Until the deluge of games starts to hit home, the best way of picking up a new game is to check out the numerous sales that arrive - with the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 6th-12th August 2019 one such provider of the goods. Wanna check out the Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles discounted to bargain basement levels via the latest sale?"
Neil writes "The month of July is coming to an end and August is fast approaching. But as the current month ends, the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale carries on bringing bargain after bargain to the doors of all Xbox One and Xbox 360 players. Want to check out the full discount list for the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale 25th July - 1 August 2017?"
Just because there isn't a conspiracy doesn't mean the lack of launch date parity won't be a detriment to sales.
A large portion, if not a majority of, core Nintendo gamers also own one of the other consoles for the sake of multiplats that aren't gimped.
Many, if not most, of them aren't going to want to wait, if they really want the game.
Slightly Mad would have been better off trying to make a new game built entirely around the system. The sales chances for such games, compared to multiplats with problems, are far more secure now than they were at the beginning of the Wii U's life.
