A year after its release, Nintendo Switch is finally getting one of the best indie games of 2023 — or 50 of them. Nintendo started off August with two livestreamed showcases, the most recent of which focused on indie games coming to the platform. Along with release dates for titles like Demonschool and Herdling, Nintendo announced the immediate launch of an indie hit from PC last year that explores an alternate history of gaming.
Created by a team of seasoned indie developers, UFO 50 packs 50 different games into one unassuming package. More than just a compilation, the game comes with its own backstory for the fictional studio responsible for it. In the world of UFO 50, a storage unit belonging to developer UFOSoft is uncovered, revealing a trove of lost video games for the (also fictional) LX console. But rather than tell that story by having you play through a straightforward narrative, it tells it through the recovered games themselves.
