Video: Missed The Wholesome Games Direct? Watch The Whole Thing Here

More than 50 games covered

Yesterday, the world of gaming was treated to a Direct presentation a little different to the usual, fast-paced offerings from Nintendo. Called the Wholesome Games Direct, this laid back show introduced more than 50 indie titles that look ideal for those who enjoy relaxed gaming sessions.

Not all of the games shown are coming to Switch - indeed, some games are so early in development that platforms haven't yet been decided - but a fair few will definitely be popping up on the Switch eShop over the next year or so and some are already out as we speak.

If you play across other platforms and PC too, you'll want to check out the entire video, but we've got a full list of all the titles shown below and highlighted any that already appear to Switch bound (remember, more could be confirmed for Nintendo's console at a later date). Thanks to Reddit user Number224 for compiling the Switch-specific games:
