Surprise Indie World Showcase Announced For Tomorrow 11th August

Indie World Showcases are always exciting, especially for Nintendo. It feels as though the Indie Game community has grown significantly around Nintendo since the Nintendo Switch was released and even more since the Nintendo Switch Lite, which means gamers are more open to playing handheld games, which also make the demand higher for some PC games to be ported to the Switch.

Nintendo announced that they will be hosting a live Showcase tomorrow (11th of August) at 5pm GMT (Uk Time). It won’t be as long as some of their previous Indie World Showcases, but they have said they will go on for a good 20 minutes on announcing some upcoming indie games and hopefully some updates amongst others.

A new #IndieWorld Showcase arrives on Aug. 11 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET! Tune in for roughly 20 minutes of information on upcoming indie games heading to #NintendoSwitch.

What is Indie World?

Indie World is known to be a specific presentation Nintendo host every now and then, commonly close to a direct to which they announce any indie game titles coming to the Nintendo Switch, either available as a physical copy or to purchase in the eShop. Their Showcase highlights upcoming games for the next few weeks, months or in some cases the next year and gives many Indie game lovers something to look forward to. It’s nice to know Nintendo support independent game developers and smaller companies as well as just promotion first-party games. This also widens their fanbase amongst those who look for a game that’s within their budget. It’s commonly known that Indie Games tend to be cheaper than first-party games, not everyone can afford a £50 game, so perhaps a £5-30 game with just as much content and value will be good enough for them.
