Do NOT Buy these Switch Indie Games
While a swath of indie developers are hurrying to get to the gold rush that is Nintendo Switch eShop, that unfortunately means that some stinkers are going to sneak there way in. Scott has been playing Energy Invasion, Energy Balance, and Alteric for review and sadly, he can’t recommend any of them. In this episode, we’ll give you a quick overview of these games and let you know what to watch out for.

How Graceful is Graceful Explosion Machine?
Graceful Explosion Machine was one of the first Nindies to launch on Switch, and it’s still one of the best. This is an arcade schmup game that puts your skills to the test while treating you to a visual spectacle!

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze (+ Controversy)
Nintendo decided to rerelase Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for Nintendo Switch at a high price point… $40 higher than the Wii U Nintendo Selects version, and $10 higher than they charged for the original at launch. This game is now 4 years old… something smells fishy… Oh—nevermind, it’s just some frozen fish.

West of Loathing, try not to laugh!
Simeon and Scott give West of Loathing a spin! It’s a hilarious RPG all about gettin’ meat and shootin’ goblins. Seriously, every dialogue box in the game is funny. It’s worth a shot!

2 Player Mega Man with Split Joy-Con 😬
Simeon and Scott have this terrible habit of beating Mega Man games with a pair of Joy-Con split between them. Does that sound smart? Because it’s not. Simeon is jump & shoot, Scott is move and rewind (or vice-versa). It gets messy. Verbal abuse is hurled. But we manage to have a good time!
