Nintendo has just announced that there will be a new Indie World Showcase going live tomorrow, December 15th.
Seeing as how we got an in depth look at Summer in Mara in one of the more recent Indie World Showcase’s, I have high hopes that this new airing will bring news of even more absolutely wonderful Indies coming to the Nintendo Switch.
The Switch already has a pretty expansive list of great indie games to peruse, from epic life sims like Stardew Valley, down to quirky party games like Moving Out. Hopefully, we finally get some solid release dates for games like Snacko or Mineko’s Night Market.

A new Indie World Showcase means a bunch of new indie games are coming to the Nintendo Switch.
Seeing as how we got an in depth look at Summer in Mara at the last Indie World Showcase, I have high hopes that this airing will bring news of even more absolutely wonderful Indies coming to the Nintendo Switch. The Switch already has a pretty expansive list of great indie games to peruse, from epic life sims like Stardew Valley, down to quirky party games like Moving Out.
While not everyone is in to the whole indie scene, I certainly find that there are some real amazing works of art being shared by the indie community. Where would we be without all those innovative minds taking the risks that some of the big studios refuse to take, resulting in some of the best games in human history.
Leaks / Rumors
For those that don’t totally dig Indies, there is other news with this Indie World Showcase. This Indie World Showcase was once again predicted, giving the hope that the predictions of an upcoming Nintendo Direct may be a reality. (deja vu much)

The adorable Summer In Mara features farming, crafting and living the island life!
Summer In Mara is a super cute indie game that I have had my eye on for some time now. You play as a adventurous young girl that lives on a beautiful tropical island. Explore the expansive world around you, do some farming, and help to make your little slice of heaven just that much better.
What is Summer In Mara?
With more than 300 quests to complete, you will certainly do your part to help better the island. The open world around you features over 20 islands to explore, with many friends to meet along the way.
You will even be able to customize your very own island! Build your houses where you want, craft everything you need to have a functioning town, or fill the whole thing with farmland, it is all up to you. There is even a day and night cycle, and weather effects that impact the world around you.
Indie World Showcase
At this yeas Indie World Showcase, Summer In Mara had its own time slot that gave us a look at how far the game has come in development. You can clearly see just how much love and devotion has gone into making this one epic indie game that won’t be overlooked.
For more information about Summer In Mara, you can check out the new page for the game on the official Nintendo website. This title will be a timed exclusive for the Nintendo Switch, and releases in Spring this year.
