A Nintendo Indie Games Video Showcase is Coming Tomorrow

A Nintendo Indie Games Video Showcase is Coming Tomorrow

It's not a Direct, but there's sure to be some cool Switch games.

Nintendo is going to hold an indie games-centric Nintendo Switch showcase tomorrow at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET. There's no word yet on everything we can officially expect to see in tomorrow's presentation.

Though, Nintendo UK did make a cute banner for Twitter and mentioned we will be seeing some indie game highlights for 2019. The link on Nintendo UK's tweet also reveals some already-anticipated games coming to Switch this year, like Windjammers 2 and Baba is You.

Already, a couple of high-profile indies have been announced for the Switch in 2019. Mineko's Night Market, Untitled Goose Game, Kentucky Route Zero, and Wargroove are all slated for the coming year, so I think we could see some release dates tomorrow if we're lucky. New announcements are also welcome.

Don't be disappointed if you don't see anything about Nintendo's bigger games coming in 2019. The indie showcase probably won't have any Animal Crossing Switch news. However, we did recently get release dates for Yoshi's Crafted World and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, so there's that.

You can watch tomorrow's indie games showcase on any of Nintendo's official video channels, and be sure to check back with us for the latest news and updates.

Sometimes we include links to online retail stores. If you click on one and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. See our terms & conditions.
