Calling all cozy, indie, and wholesome game fans – the Wholesome Snack: The Game Awards Edition returns this year for another lovely livestream next week. Ahead of the award ceremony itself, we get a nice little moment of wholesome vibes and see what games are coming out in the near future.
You can tune in to the stream on December 10, 2024, at 12 pm PT / 3 pm ET / 8 pm GMT. The 2024 Wholesome Snack is set to stream on YouTube, and there will be a few partnered streamers that you can watch instead to get a nice running commentary as the presentation goes on.
We’re bound to see lots of, as the name suggests, wholesome and cozy indie games that are due to release across PC and consoles, and maybe – just maybe – the fabled Nintendo Switch 2. Now, we don’t have a Switch 2 release date just yet, but chances are any game announced for a Nintendo release at this point will also make its way across to the next console.
2023’s Wholesome Snack featured some games that remain in development, such as Vivarium, Momento, and Bugaboo Pocket. These may yet come to Nintendo Switch and perhaps its successor.
We’re all big fans of Wholesome Games and what they do over here at Pocket Tactics. It led me specifically to find excellent games like Minami Lane, Usagi Shima, and a game about ranching frogs – read my Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge review here and then pick up these hip and hoppening games.
I’m not sure about you, but this has me hungry for new Switch games. In the meantime, we have some great farm games and free game recommendations on Nintendo’s current console.
