Some indie news to end the year is on the way. Nintendo has announced a new Indie World Showcase will air tomorrow, November 14.
The Indie World Showcase is set to spotlight around 20 minutes of information on both new and known games coming to the Nintendo Switch. It will air at 9 a.m. PT / noon ET on Nintendo’s channels. You can follow it here as well.
As a reminder, this is an indie showcase, not a Nintendo Direct. So any hopes you might have for a new Switch or other reveal, don’t expect that sort of thing here. Instead, Nintendo’s indie showcases highlight third-party games, usually from smaller developers.
What to expect at the Indie World Showcase
I mean, it’s an Indie World Showcase. The Silksong hope is tangible in the air. It’s there, like it is every time we have one of these.
Otherwise, there are a few indies waiting in the wings. Animal Well, Rift of the Necrodancer, and Little Kitty, Big City are all games that have shown up at previous showcases that could reappear here.
But really, it’s the surprises I always like the most in the independently focused showcases. Games that I hadn’t heard of suddenly rocketing onto my radar. And of course, surprise drops. Who doesn’t enjoy a good “it’s out later today”?
So we’ll see what Nintendo has in store for this end-of-the-year indie news lineup, in an already stacked year for games. Maybe there’s something waiting to make GOTY even tougher than it already was.
