It's crazy how I'll watch a nintendo direct and get excited about 1 or 2 games, meanwhile I'm not even done with this video and i've already added 16 games to my wishlist. There's some real quality gems here.
A Direct by Nintendo features a wide range of games for every type of gamer, basically, this is specific to wholesome games, so it's not at all surprising that you'll find a large amount that fits your taste if you're into these types of games.
This was my first time watching a Wholesome Direct and _man,_ there were WAY more cool and interesting games here than in any of the other presentations today. I am going to have a bunch to add to my wishlist.
You folks continue to be the best curators of indie games. I truly wish that everyone in the industry cared as much about unique, quality games as much as all of you do. Thanks for everything, and I look forward to 2025! 😊
@@NuiYabuko You don't like AAA games with massive open worlds about depressed white men punching each other in the face and committing war crimes? Or remakes? /s
Great games, I think everybody can find some of their fav titles here. ❤ We're also leaving a small hint, that another cozy game is on the way - our Hotel Galactic is coming to Kickstarter very soon 👀
Honestly this is my favorite part of the SGF season. Haven't even watched the show yet and I already have a shirt pre-ordered. That's now a tradition. Love it.
My highlights this year were: Ete, Rooster, Ila, Tracks of Thought, and Fruitbus! Not a ton of social sims this year it seems. But always happy to try something more experimental!
Thank you wholesome games for another fantastic show. Your going to make my bank account cry i need every single game 😅. Also so happy to see my bestie cozy queen eeowna of binland being part of this event. Over the moon for her as I know how much this means to her being a cozy streamer. I was watching with her and the rest of us binlandians and we all went nuts in the chat when she appeared it was such a joyous moment to share together. I screamed omg there she is bestie woooooo hooooo go iona you got this. So pleased for her and hope to see her feature again 🎉
that was just amazing!! I got REALLY hyped for the story update for travellers rest! but there were so many beautiful and cute gems in here that made it to my wishlist
It's that time of the year again, where I get to make a long list of all the games I'd like to play but won't get the time to play for another 5 years. Woohoo!
Thanks so much for this! I didn't know this aired, so had to fid out via Reddit! Haha! SO many badass games I'm excited for! ;A; Really hope a lot of these come to Switch, too!
Love the idea of a whole wholesome direct I'm so excited there are games that I love being showcased. You would have to scour the internet to try to find games lilt this ❤ discounty looks great 👍 I'll be looking out for a lot of these hopefully many come to switch so I can play on my downtime at work 😊 crab God also looks super cute as a cancer I think I might need to play 😅
So many good games but nothing got me excited like the Travellers Rest update. It might just be my favorite cozy game and it's not even done yet! If you love management sims, highly recommend!
That was great as always! will echo the sentiment some of these games are starting to stack and slip their release dates. Understandable given the nature of indie development and will allow for me to catchup on my backlog.
Littlelands is like AC meets LA HD meets Pokemon sprinkled with some HM. It's looks cute. I found some games that looked interesting to me, there was just so much that I don't remember all of them right now. ^^;
I personally love cute little baking games like Freshly Frosted and Lemon Cake. I hope we see some games like that in this direct. AND PLS GOD GIVE US MORE COZY GAMES FOR THE PLAYSTATION PLS. 😭🙏
Usually indie devs seem to try to get their games on every platform or at least the ones that make sense for their game, so I'd assume a good portion will come to Switch or its successor and likely also the other two consoles, even if later.
Nintendo direct : ??????? …. ! … ???? ok, o sure, oh ok. WHOLESOME DIRECT : !!!!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕!!!!! !!! !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHH WOOOO YA !! WOOOOO YEEEEaaaaAAAAAAAAHHHH thank you 4 listening
Quite a few will be for Switch as well. If you do a search for "Wholesome Direct" and "Nintendo Life" you can see a write up of all the games that will be out on Switch.
Although I'm not the target demographic for cozy games, I can tell from this video that cozy players will be eating very well this year. I'm curious though about the prices of these games, as I can't imagine that a cozy player would spend more than $20 on a game, regardless of it's graphics or quality. Lastly I'm shocked at the amount of male developers in this genre, as I imagined that only females were interested in cozy games.
I really wish you'd just keep the names of the games and their developers on screen the whole time or at least for 5-10 seconds at the start and end of each segment. It's already hard to keep up with all the game names, but add the huge number of non native English speakers and it's really hard to catch game names throughout.
hoping for any updates on the 235 games on my steam wishlist
Probably not, but you might have another 50 to add to it lol
Omg same 😭😭😭
@@cosmicthing2 ive already gone up to 240 without the direct
try 512 man
Haha, omg, how I feel this! Good one!
It's crazy how I'll watch a nintendo direct and get excited about 1 or 2 games, meanwhile I'm not even done with this video and i've already added 16 games to my wishlist. There's some real quality gems here.
UPDATE: I finished the showcase. I added 46 games to my Steam wishlist, and then plus the 3 games that aren't on steam. This is crazy.
A Direct by Nintendo features a wide range of games for every type of gamer, basically, this is specific to wholesome games, so it's not at all surprising that you'll find a large amount that fits your taste if you're into these types of games.
Love that this category of games has it's own direct, tons of interesting titles in this showcase.
Whoever made the time stamps is a real one ❤
Thank you for having me Wholesome Games!! Was an honored to be a part of the coziest direct of the year 💙
Payton you slayed!! Love to see you here! 💜
The PCRF addition is a wonderful thing! Truthfully thankful for this beautiful community
For sure! Happy to see it

Absolutely love the way this is put together, highlighting the amazing developers, content creators I love so much, and such fun new games!!
Twins making a Spot the Difference game is marketing genius! Can’t wait to play 😁
Crazy how I look forward more to this than E3 or anything summer games fest. Really Hope a lot of these games come to switch
This is part of SGF.
E3 isn't a thing anymore. But yeah, presentations like this or Day of the Devs are generally more interesting to me than the main event.
Yeah honestly I sit through Summer Game Fest just to get to Day of the Devs because that presentation feels more fun and informative
@@NuiYabuko You don't like AAA games with massive open worlds about depressed white men punching each other in the face and committing war crimes? Or remakes? /s
aww was really hoping to see Sarah Sunstone and Letz Play K here. My go-to’s for wholesome stuff their content is like a hug. 💕 thanks for the show!
I’m sad I missed the live chat. It is always the most chill and d welcoming compared to the other directs.
I've been waiting for Tiny Bookshop since last year! Can't wait to try it!
This was the best showcase of them all!! Kudos to another banger! 🎉
Great games, I think everybody can find some of their fav titles here. ❤
We're also leaving a small hint, that another cozy game is on the way - our Hotel Galactic is coming to Kickstarter very soon 👀
10 hours late, but finally getting to watch the direct! Cant wait for the good vibes
I LOVE WHOLESOME DIRECT!
Honestly this is my favorite part of the SGF season. Haven't even watched the show yet and I already have a shirt pre-ordered. That's now a tradition. Love it.
8 Demos downloaded and 13 new games added to my wishlist
SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to add some more games to my steam game list that I'm not gonna play
Funny cause it’s true
My highlights this year were:
Ete, Rooster, Ila, Tracks of Thought, and Fruitbus!

I probably just added half of these to my wishlist, they look awesome!!
I was so happy to see Gab again on this ❤ can't wait to play all the new games 😍
that was just amazing!! I got REALLY hyped for the story update for travellers rest! but there were so many beautiful and cute gems in here that made it to my wishlist
squeakross looks EXACTLY like my kind of game!!
Joshs Gaming Garden is my favorite!
I’m excited for some new cosy games being announced and released tomorrow
Thank you so much of adding time stamps! I need to fill my wishlist.
It's that time of the year again, where I get to make a long list of all the games I'd like to play but won't get the time to play for another 5 years. Woohoo!
I'm super happy with all the new cozy creators I got to learn about in this direct! Super awesome to see!
Afterlove EP? Yes, make me feel feelings!
Wholesome Games, amazing video keep up the amazing work
Gonna add a few of these to my wishlist!
And next year, I hope my game Matt's Hidden Cats makes it into this showcase.
That was amazing! I wish listed half the games and installed the demos. Now I have to find the time to play them😂
More TUKONI!
Yeah it was only in the montage and doesn't come out until next year, but still...
More TUKONI!
Thanks so much for this! I didn't know this aired, so had to fid out via Reddit! Haha! SO many badass games I'm excited for! ;A; Really hope a lot of these come to Switch, too!
Wholesome. More like, hold some of my money! (fr tho nice games)
Wasn't expecting a Tinylands 2, I loved that game
Yaaaay it's the most cozy time of the year! ✨️
Well done! This was really pleasant to watch. 👍💚
Thank you for the hard work on this! I always love watching these 🥰 My stream wishlist does too lol
At this point I have to quit my job to have time for all the games I wanna play

New to The Wholesome Direct excited to see I haven't missed this year
So many great games to wishlist and look forward to!
I'm curious about Screen Bound, it has an out of the box proposal
15/10 as always.
OMG. SO MANY GAMES.
🥰I'm so happy and excited⭐⭐!!!
my expectations: Fruitbus release date and Button City Soccer Days news
So many good games but nothing got me excited like the Travellers Rest update. It might just be my favorite cozy game and it's not even done yet! If you love management sims, highly recommend!
IM SO HYPED YESSS

That was awesome. Gonna need one of those lil frog plushies that was on the table in one shot. He looked so zen ❤
Aww, no Freeride demo in the US. Sadge
No demo for freeride on switch yet, do we have a release time?
IONA & COZY K!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much for showcasing Dawnfolk. ♥🔥
This was my most favourite showcase, so many banger games. Can't wait for the Littlelands demo
This is just overkill at this point. The wholesomeness would literally kill you.
ILA A Frosty Gllide just like Nights Into Dreams from SEGA Saturn
Pine 🌲 looks good
How many times did they mentioned the word “cozy”?
Does anyone know what the countdown music is? It's a bop
Oh oops im just blind, it's in the desc!
Yaaaaasss Traveller rest!
Littlelands is like AC meets LA HD meets Pokemon sprinkled with some HM. It's looks cute.
I found some games that looked interesting to me, there was just so much that I don't remember all of them right now. ^^;

I wrote down way too many of those games... how do I find time to play them all 😂
Anyone count how many times 'cozy' was said?
Just got the mat! I'm so excited!
Guy said Littlelands has a demo now but it doesn't yet.
hype hype hype
i really just want romance in traveller's rest
hikari is the way
if you know you know
Will the games shown just be for steam or Nintendo too? Just curious❤
Some pc some nin some both
@@Velvet1001 thanks for that, can't wait!

Hoping for something GOOD and soon like this month would be nice lol
Where can I get that T shirt?
Can’t find the freeride demo on switch :( is it just me?
Crap God is the mashup of Crab Rave and Rap God.
Are these all only on steam? I have a Switch and don't want to waste an hour watching this if they're all steam only.
Quite a few will be for Switch as well. If you do a search for "Wholesome Direct" and "Nintendo Life" you can see a write up of all the games that will be out on Switch.
@@atfruitbat thank you!!!
thank you so much for bringing up awareness about palestine even a little! you guys are the best! ❤❤
I couldn't find the Littlelands demo at all on steam.
they put on their announcements page on steam they've decided to delay it a bit
@@sillysoz okay thank you
Kitsune tails! :3
Damn, didn't like this as much as other conferences, quite weak
Still found two games to check out
this is a great direct for those interested in games entitled "[synonym for small] land/island"
I wanted to download the demo for Littlelands but it won't let me. 😭 There is bo option to download anything.

@@sillysoz it looks so cute and fun. I can't wait to try it. 😭😥😊

They have a list in the description.
@@NuiYabuko yeah, but I can't easily access that list while watching on my TV and I want to be involved and invested in the stream.
ARTEMIS IS MY NSME
SHOW MOONSTONE ISLANDDDDDDDDD
Discounty looks fun!
So many games were cooking/farming/work sims.
I wanna know what that vr game is soo bad
POG GAB SMOLDERS CAMEO????? 🎉🎉🎉
On Your Tail plz thx
Almost all of these are just pc i hope they come to console
