Indie World

Nintendo fans tend to go by the company’s patterns, but every now and then, the company throws a curveball. That’s exactly what happened this week. We’re generally used to getting a Nintendo Direct before the Tokyo Game Show in September, but we instead saw a new presentation to end August. On top of that, it was shown right after an Indie World Showcase. We’re not used to seeing back to back presentations from Nintendo, but again, you can’t always predict what the Big N will do.

There were so many games between the two presentations – over forty in fact – that we can’t possibly mention them all here. For the Indie World Showcase through, a big highlight was the announcement and release of Pizza Tower. Meanwhile, the Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase featured Capcom Fighting Collection 2, Castlevania Dominus Collection, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st, Atelier Yumia, Tales of Graces f Remastered, Tetris Forever, MySims: Cozy Bundle, Star Overdrive, and more.

Nintendo just passed along an official announcement for the Indie World Showcase and Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase. Both presentations just aired and were filled with plenty of Switch news.

Below is the full recap:

Indie World Showcase and Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase live stream

The Indie World Showcase and Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase is starting not too long from now. Nintendo’s stream kicks off at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET / 3 PM in the UK / 4 PM in Europe. Remember that the Indie World Showcase is first, and then Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase begins right after.

Everything covered here will be for upcoming Switch games. Nintendo will not be discussing the Switch successor.

We’ve included the official Indie World Showcase and Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase live stream below.

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:

Another Indie World Showcase aired this week with a new wave of announcements for Switch. There were some reveals, shadowdrops, demos, and more.

SteamWorld Heist II was arguably the biggest news of the show which closed out the presentation. Other games such as Yars Rising, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate, Europa, and Valley Peaks were announced for Switch. Sticky Business and Stitch were revealed as well, but they actually came out that same day. You can find the full recap of everything shown here.

We also finally got an update on Outer Wilds, which heads to the console next month. On Your Tail, Blade Chimera, Core Keeper, and Planet of Lana were some of the other notable titles.
