Indie World Showcase Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase

Nintendo will host not one, but two new presentations tomorrow with an Indie World Showcase and Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase. The fun begins at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET / 3 PM in the UK / 4 PM in Europe.

The Indie World Showcase will go live first. Right after that event, the Nintendo Direct: Partners Showcase will begin. Between the two, everything will take place across 40 minutes (give or take).

Both events will cover upcoming games for Switch. Unsurprisingly, Nintendo will not be talking about the system’s successor here.

Here’s where you can watch tomorrow’s proceedings:

Fatherhood

Today, Persis Play announced its upcoming title Fatherhood for Switch. The developer did not provide a release window.

Fatherhood is a 2.5D side-scrolling adventure game. You’ll play as a father who’s navigating through the dangers of war and protecting his blind daughter, which includes doing things like evading soldiers and rebels, looking for water, food, and medicine, and more.
