Most people probably prefer the bigger Nintendo Directs packed full of huge announcements (which are admittedly fantastic) but I guess my love of lesser known titles is just too strong. Watch the new video below.Very few events get me more excited for upcoming games more than a Nintendo Indie World showcase.

Radiant Lighting – Dynamic light effects pairs with a world-influencing day / night cycle to make every area feel truly alive, pushing the traditional visual limits of classically-styled 2D pixel-art games the only way to properly tell the story of heroes conjuring the powers of the Sun and the Moon.

Rich Universe – A sprawling, lively land, Sea of Stars‘ hosting region can be enjoyed as a standalone story or a supplemental adventure for fans of The Messenger.All Fun, No Tedium – Enjoy combat without fear of hitting a wall and having to grind for experience or items in Sea of Stars, defeat requires a change in battle plans, not hours of repetition to better the odds in a rematch.Gripping Story – Become acquainted with six playable characters with rich backstories, personalities, and varied motives as the mysteries of a troubled world come to light.Engaging Exploration – Climb, dive, swim and leap across a lush world brimming with life and hidden secrets, enjoying the journey between battles as much as the action itself.Dynamic Combat - With every encounter harboring threats deadly to the careless tactician, victory demands sharp timing, anticipation, and pre-emptive counters to ultra powerful attacks.

A twisting narrative ensures their mission is anything but simple, making for an engrossing, wondrous tale surrounding a world’s looming apocalyptic threat.

Sea of Stars‘ compelling world unites players with Valere and Zale, aspiring youths training to become Solstice Warriors, the land’s final line of defense against The Fleshmancer’s monstrous creations.
