The Next Nintendo Indie World Showcase Stream

Expect some news from Nintendo as they make some announcements about their independent games in a showcase today at 9am PST.

While technically not a full Nintendo Direct, there could still be some exciting news in today’s Indie World Showcase. The last indie showcase was in March, and it revealed some exciting independent titles like I Am Dead and The Last Campfire.

Don’t expect any announcements like a new Smash Ultimate character or news about Breath of the Wild 2, this won’t be the place for that. But if you enjoy small, creative, and unique independently made games, this will be just what you want.

Perhaps sometime this month, if the rumors floating around are true, there will be a full Nintendo Direct, the first one in quite some time. But for now, let’s just enjoy the small independent titles that will be announced today.
