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)

Nintendo just announced that they are doing an Indie World Showcase in just 24 hours.
Four months ago was our last Indie World Showcase, and we got a look at some pretty awesome games, some now available on the Nintendo Switch. Some of of my favorites from the last showcase were The Tourist, Best Friend Forever and Phogs. For some reason, cute little indie games just seem right at home on the Switch.
In a recent Tweet, Nintendo announced that they will be doing another Indie World Showcase tomorrow, starting at 10 a.m. PT. The presentation will last about twenty minutes, and will feature indie games that will be coming to the Nintendo Switch, sooner or later.
If you would like to view the presentation as soon as it airs, you can do so on the official Nintendo website. If you do happen to miss it, worry not. I intend to cover all the cute games that are revealed during the showcase. If you feel like checking out some awesome Indies right now, check out my coverage of the best cute indie games available now for Switch.
