Nintendo has announced that it has an Indie World showcase scheduled for later this week. Around 15 minutes of indie-centric reveals will be shown, providing both new announcements and development updates on previously revealed titles. The Indie World stream will go live on August 7, at 6am PT/14:00 UK time.

FYI, Nintendo is an indie [i.e., independent] studio, which means we could see Mario Wonder 2 or BotW 3 here.

Or we could see a Zelda 2 remake, but I know better than to dream about such things.

"Just kidding, we don't know what an indie *is.*" -- Nintendo, VERY PROBABLY

i cant wait for those damn silksong fans to rejoice

 

[rudras]

Wait a sec... so the game we saw on Switch 2 where you must start a fire carefully wasn't even an indie?!

...Game-key card only

More likely digital only, don't even dream of getting a key card

I mean, non-64GB Cart sizes *are* on the way, it's just going to be awhile

But at the same time though... these are Indies we're talking about, so it's super unlikely they'd even take advantage of the lower sized carts if given the chance, even more so since indie publishing famously prefer digital so they don't need a bigger publishers to get thier games out.

Macronix isn't even a supplier for the Switch 2, so this is likely just hopium.

Yes they are? Why wouldn't Nintendo work with the same company that was successful at making physical carts for thier handheld consoles as far back as the DS era and were responsible for the switch 1 carts?, even more so when Switch 2 carts have several similarities to S1 carts besides the changes made specifically to the S2 carts.

Hoping for more Switch 1 games here.

I just read up on this, they make switch 1 carts but outsource switch 2 carts/3d nand

So what he said is accurate for right now

Well, Nintendo might still have a game presence, through ctossovers and guest characters.

finally, a real direct

I won't comment on the claim of theirs but Macronix is 100% the company who provides the chips lol.

The Switch is an absolute dream for physical indie game collectors so it will be a travesty if that changes with the Switch 2. Hopefully, they keep releasing both versions for a while so we still have the physical option.

Great, more garbage games to further clutter the already abysmal eShop game list. They literally scraped the bottom of the barrel on steam, and dumped all the horrible shit into the eShop. There's very rarely ever a good indie game on there.
