If you're a fan of indie games, you'll be excited to know that Nintendo is planning on hosting another Nindies Showcase stream. On August 28th at 9 am PT, we'll be able to get a look at some of the upcoming independent games scheduled to release on the Nintendo Switch, including some of which that haven't been announced yet. The stream will be covered here on GBAtemp, where we'll summarize all the main topics and reveals. If you want to watch it live, you can tune in on Nintendo's YouTube account, linked above, or at their official site, below.

Metroid Prime 4 is probably a Q4 2019 title.

I mean when they announced it development had just started

The switch is missing gold titles like Risk of Rain and Awesomenauts, and proper adhoc support for both of them (or/and cross play) would make them instantly better than the ps4 version.
So... here's some hope!

Mario Party, Pokemon, and Smash are the big ones. Pokemon's having information shown bit by bit on official accounts, Mario Party had a treehouse video released today, and Smash had 90% of the E3 presentation dedicated to it, as well as a recent direct just for it. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for a big Direct too, but the big titles are getting information shown in their own ways.

Well when you put it that way, I guess you're right. This is gonna make me sound MOAR entitled but none of those are heavy hitters personally so I've been waiting for something else. Of course, I'm one person and everyone else is hype for Smash so I'll stay quiet.

Expect a Direct on the first or second week of September.

Put it on 4chan so people will believe you

Indie shit might be new games lol

 

[Prior22]

New Starfy game please.

Is Nintendo going to announce an eShop purge? The eShop is like 90% indie shovelware right now. Finding a good game is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Anytime I go ahead and tune into a Nindies, all I can see is a wall of 8-year olds being pissed nothing from Fortnite got announced, so the dislike ratio ends up being 7.5K vs 1K.

Another one already. Man, they just have these Indies rolling out now don’t they.

it was the same on the wiiu and 3ds

 

[Mylink5]

I mean nintendo keeps having directs in september

Indeed, these might be in order to avoid indie announcements at the big direct

 

[chirogan]

How about showing some first party games other than smash bros.

Nintendo: Here. Pokemon teasers for a change.

/s

So there's 2 parties:

1. "No more indies!"
2. "Shut up about Smash already!"

Meanwhile I'm wondering when Terraria's coming to Switch.

So there's 2 parties:

1. "No more indies!"
2. "Shut up about Smash already!"

3. "Portendo!"
4. All of the above
5. None of the above

I fall under the #4 party.

If you're a fan of indie games,

Like we have a choice.

 

[Closet Nerd]

Make it stop.

 

[orangy57]

Not to sound white and entitled, but I'd much prefer a regular old direct. I knew 2018 was gonna be a port year since that first direct and I'm mostly ok with that, but where's all the new stuff for 2019?

implying the switch hasn't just been a port lifespan at this point

 

[anhminh]

I just want to hear more about Atlus, Capcom, Level-5 and SE, not some no name developer with game that look like it was make by homebrewster in the basement.

 

[DarthDub]

More games? RIP my wallet!

That's modern gaming in a nutshell since there are just as many shovelware AAA games out there. Switch has like 1/4th the indie collection of XB1/PS4 so far too, which means only 1/4th the shovelware.
