'Axiom Verge 2' and more indie games will hit Switch in 2020
Nintendo has already curated a library of wonderfully weird independent games on the Switch, and it's not slowing down in 2020. The company today revealed a handful of indie titles heading to the Switch next year, including heavy hitters like Axiom Verge 2 (a sequel fans have been waiting for since 2015), Sports Story (the follow-up to Golf Story), and Streets of Rage 4 (which we've found to be shockingly fun).
PS4, Vita game Axiom Verge isn't Metroid, but it's damn close
Pixelated platformer Axiom Verge is on its way to PS4 and Vita thanks to a boost from Sony's Pub Fund initiative, which offers cash and support to independent developers. Axiom Verge is a blend of Metroid, Contra and pretty pixel art, and it has a hacking mechanic on top of its shooting and platforming elements. The game comes from one-man studio Tom Happ. He introduces the storyline as follows: "A failed scientist dies in an accident, only to awaken in a mysterious, alien world. Where is he? How did he get here? And why do the fundamental laws of reality appear broken?" Maybe because we can't handle all of this awesome nostalgia, Happ. Maybe that's it. As of April 10, Axiom Verge was in development for PC and Xbox 360. [Image: Tom Happ]
