Time for me to put on my @MatPiscatella funtime data hat for a second and explore #NintendoSwitch titles released from Canadian-headquartered developers from Jan 1, 2019 - June 30 2019. In total there were 20 new Switch game releases from 19 (!) unique #Canadian #gamedevs.

Munchkin: Quacked Quest was just announced during #IndieWorld, listed as developed by #Montreal developer @LuckyHammers...which was forced to close by @AsmodeeDigital and lay off its 70+ staff members in July 2019. #Munchkin: Quacked Quest launches on #NintendoSwitch Fall 2019.

@MatPiscatella @Open_Critic @StudioMDHR @BYG_Vancouver @superjoebob @BeenoxTeam What's coming for the rest of 2019 and beyond? There's ~113 titles released or announced for the #NintendoSwitch from #Canadian-headquartered #gamedevs, including 16 announced for the rest of 2019 and 4 already for 2020...and I'm sure there's plenty more TBA!

@MatPiscatella As for quality of content, these Canadian-headquartered titles boast some impressive @Open_Critic scores. @StudioMDHR's #Cuphead was the highest-rated Canadian-made title from Jan-June this year with a score of 88. @BYG_Vancouver, @superjoebob, and @BeenoxTeam weren't far behind!

Can't wait for this additional content for #Celeste! 2018 was an incredible year for #Canadian indies on the #NintendoSwitch, and it'll be fantastic to dive back in to Celeste again.

Light Fingers from #Toronto's @numizmatic is a multiplayer board game/platformer with tons of loot, traps, and a gorgeous art style. This one has the potential to test some friendships...available on the #NintendoSwitch! https://t.co/mTbE0BFNBz #MadeInCanada #GameDev

As part of the apparent renaissance of #Gamecube and Xbox-era games through remasters, Cel Damage HD is available on the #NintendoSwitch from #Toronto-based devs @FinishLineGames! Early 2000's local multiplayer doesn't get much better than this... https://t.co/ZXULFxYdRT #GameDev

#Toronto developers @13amgames (devs of Runbow and the recent Double Cross) have announced their new game Dawn of the Monsters, a co-op Kaiju brawler that looks amazing. Release in 2020 and no consoles announced yet, but hopefully #NintendoSwitch? #MadeInCanada
