It isn't a Nintendo Direct, but for now, it's the best we're going to get. Catch the latest stream of Nintendo's Indie World Showcase, which is set to go live soon, at 9 am PT, where we'll see all the indie games that are headed to the Nintendo Switch. The broadcast will last for 20 minutes, and will hopefully bring some exciting announcements to the table. Settle in, and keep updated by checking this thread for our live updates, as always.

We already have Zelda, pokemon, mario, and metroid on the way. I understand the argument of nintendo not putting out enough games but these examples don't make sense to me

Don't worry, it is

Ah...this was underwhelming. I’m happy with playing a backlog of games I haven’t gotten around to on my Switch so I’m fine with a small announcement, but seriously...where’s a Direct?

Okay Smash fanboy, probably one of those idiots that thought you was gonna get a Super Mario Sunshine HD on today's unrelated direct

Raji and Evergate were two relatively bland spots in the presentation to me - one looks like a dime a dozen action adventure with sky view perspective (of which there were many on XBLA/PSN years before), and the other seems to take a bit too much inspiration from Ori. Just my opinion though, and the rest is very solid overall.

When I saw that one game, I was like “omg new Ori on switch!!!” Then I thought it looked weird for Ori, then I saw it wasn’t. Looks interesting but wow what a clone.

Might wanna update the video in OP, they took down the original (because of video quality I think?)
