6. Rex Rocket (Wii U/3DS)
Estimated Release Date: Early 2015
In 2014, Shovel Knight was the game that stole my heart away with its tight gameplay, gorgeous retro aesthetics, and beautiful soundtrack. In 2015, I believe that Rex Rocket will bring me those same feelings once again. Inspired by classics such as Mario, Mega Man, and Metroid, Rex Rocket plans to continue the trend of retro indie platformers in the modern era. If it plays as well as the trailer looks, this game will surely become a modern classic.
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.
