10. SteamWorld Heist (Wii U/3DS)
Estimated Release Date: Spring
Many people thought that the next game developed by Image & Form would be a sequel to the popular SteamWorld Dig, but the company took us all by surprise by announcing something completely different with SteamWorld Heist. While the names may be similar, it only signifies that the events of the game take place in the same world as the previous game. Instead of being a mining platformer, SteamWorld Heist changed its genre into a turn-based strategy game. While general information is currently scarce, I’m excited to see what ideas Image & Form will implement into the game.
I’m hoping for A Hat in Time on Wii U in 2015.
Since there’s no release date yet it’s a bit of a long shot, I’ll admit. But they’ve stopped just short of announcing it for Wii U so I have faith.
If the developer confirmed that it was coming to Wii U this year, it would have definitely made this list. I wish we could hear more about the game’s release!
Great list! Some were expecting, some forgotten, and a few were completely new to me. Definitely some games worth looking forward to though.
Thanks for putting this list together! I have a hard time keeping track of these games, and so many of these are definitely worth looking forward to.
Thanks! That’s why I put the list together in the first place. Nintendo has great indie support and I’m happy to help promote these games.
Affordable Space Adventures – how could I have forgotten about this game? It looks great, and should be out this year.
Good choice! That’s also another one I wanted to put on the list that I didn’t have room for, along with Hex Heroes, Elliot Quest, and Adventures of Pip. Even then, I’m sure I’m missing a few that I’ve been excited for!
Haha it was really hard to condense this list just to ten games.
