A little look at what’s new for indies this year

Nintendo aired a new Indie World Showcase today, spotlighting what’s to come for independent games on the Switch. Clocking in at roughly 20 minutes, it’s a neat little look at what indies have in store amid the coming months.

Really, it was a strange show. The games shown were neat, but this showcase felt a little slim when it came to firm updates. Several projects popped up that we’ve known about, and a lot of windows were confirmed, but there was less in the way of hard dates.

Still, there were some surprises, as always. And even a few “out later today” appearances, which are always a highlight. I’ll also just pre-emptively say this now: sorrySilksongsickos, but no news.
