Nintendo recently dropped this tweet that on 3/20 at 9am PT/12pm ET, they will be having a Nindies Showcase stream:
This is super exciting news as it seems Nintendo knows that the Switch has not only been a great platform to play old (Wii U ports) and new Nintendo Games, but a fantastic system to play indies on the go. Not to mention within a year since the Switch's initial launch, its been the home of quality indies that were either console exclusives or sold the best on the Switch such as Steamworld Dig 2, Golf Story, Battle Chef Brigade and Celeste. Curious what anyone here is hoping will be announced for this stream? Here's mine:
Reasonable Hopes:
- More details on Wargroove and perhaps a release date for it.
- More info on Toejam and Earl: Back in the Groove.
- Hollow Knight port release date (Actually Team Cherry confirmed that HK will not be featured on the Showcase, but will announce info on a release date this week)
- Late Edit: Into the Breach port gets announced
Very Unlikely to happen, but hopeful nonetheless:
- Freedom Planet has a planned port for 2018.
- Bounty Battle, a Platform Fighter starring indie characters, gets a release date
- We get a Smash Trailer where it reveals 1 indie character as playable (Shovel Knight and Commander Video are the most likely picks).
- Contradiction Spot the Liar port to Switch
