It’s a busy indie-loaded week for Nintendo Switch gamers, with some larger launches like The Stanley Parable and Zombie Army 4: Dead War thrown in.

The Stanley Zombie

One big title arrives for the Switch this week with Zombie Army 4: Dead War. The Rebellion-made title sets players against a horde of the undead in the final days of WWII, and looks pretty terrific doing it.

If your tastes are a little more sedate though, there’s also The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. This new revision of the long-lived PC game delivers all of the original launch’s content, plus some new inclusions to shake things up.

While those are the larger scale releases though, there is an absolute ton of smaller indie stuff hitting. I can’t say I’m familiar with really any of those games, but they’re there nonetheless and you never know. There just might be a few gems to discover.

Take a look…

Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch

Zombie Army 4: Dead War – In Zombie Army 4: Dead War, the dead rise once again with greater hunger than before! Continue the alternate history of the Zombie Army Trilogy in huge new levels, and uncover a sinister plan that takes the Survivor Brigade across Italy and beyond! Fight the forces of darkness, survive a Zombie Zoo and journey to dark, inexplicable places no person has been before … and lived to tell the tale! Zombie Army 4: Dead War is now available for pre-order in the My Nintendo Store and in Nintendo eShop, and will launch on April 26.

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe – The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is an expanded re-imagining of the critically acclaimed, award-winning indie game The Stanley Parable from 2013. Everything that was in the original Stanley Parable is here, preserved just like it was back in 2013. But The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe also dramatically expands the world of the original game with new content, new choices and new secrets to uncover. The labyrinth has just gotten bigger. The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe will be available on April 27.
