Episode 98 of The Indie-Credible Podcast, an indie gaming podcast, dives into early indie releases, new indie releases, community recommendations, retro homebrew, and another week of discoveries from across the indie gaming scene.
This week, Jeff finally tackles his massive Nintendo Switch physical collection. After organizing everything around his favorite genres, categorizing hundreds of games, and going through all those Limited Editions, the collection is smaller, cleaner, and actually makes sense!
What stays? What gets sold? And at what point does collecting everything start getting in the way of enjoying the games you actually care about?
What We've Been Playing
Jeff gets physical with some modern NES homebrew, playing the Rip N Boarders NES tech demo.
Xander fires up RetroBat for some classic Toki Arcade and checks out the demo for Froggo's Adventure: Drifting Sky.

This week's community game is Chico and the Magic Orchards DX, a puzzle adventure built around rolling a giant walnut through a colorful series of challenges.

We also discuss the Neo Geo AES+ delay. With the system reportedly pushed back a year, can it recover from the negative reaction, or will the delay ultimately keep it from ever reaching the finish line?

This week brings an eclectic mix:
A Dungeon Crawler Carl figure to go with the books
The Danish Flyver March
GCW Live Wrestling Show Stories!
Plus a tease for a very cool custom HuCard release coming next time
Coming Up
Next week's big topic: Steam's Wishlist Updates!
