A trio of notable indie titles are launching on Switch today. Morphies Law, Bad North, Prison Architect: Nintendo Switch Edition will all be available through the eShop. This news was revealed during the Indie Highlights video from Nintendo of Europe.
As was rumored earlier today, Nintendo has prepared a new indies-focused presentation for Switch. It might not be a Nintendo Direct, but a few new release dates and titles have been announced.
Here’s the full presentation:
Gamescom 2018 is upon us, and that means a slew of new game announcements. It seems like Nintendo intends to get the ball rolling early this year as there might be a new indie-focused Nintendo Direct about to air.
Earlier today, we reported that the launch of Morphie’s Law on Nintendo Switch might be imminent. A couple of hours later, the game’s official Twitter account sent out the following tweet:

What’s really interesting is that they weren’t the only indie developers/publishers teasing an announcement for 14:00 CEST today. There’s also FDG Entertainment, who released Blossom Tales and Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom:

Of course, the perfect place to bundle so many indie game announcements would be a Nintendo Direct. The folks over at Nintendo Life claim that, according to “close sources of Nintendo Life”, a Nintendo Direct is indeed happening at that time.
As always, take rumors like these with a grain of salt as obviously nothing is set in stone yet, despite quite a few hints. Also, it’s probably best to temper your expectations and don’t expect any major first-party Nintendo news to come out of this. Either way, we should know for sure very soon.
The next Bound Hero Battle has started in Fire Emblem Heroes. This one has you facing off against two of the main characters from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Micaiah and Sothe. This Bound Hero Battle will be available until August 28th.
As always, there’s also an accompanying Summoning Focus that’ll be available for the same period of time. The focus units are Micaiah: Priestess of Dawn, Sothe: Zephyr and Sanaki: Begnion’s Apostle.
Nintendo has brought along a new playable demo of Super Mario Party to Gamescom, and footage has arrived showing the game off. View an off-screen video below.
