Since its launch in 2017, the Nintendo Switch has become a major console for indie game fans. Indie developers and published have reported big sales when releasing on Nintendo’s innovative handheld/home console hybrid, and so it’s no surprise that new indie games are released for it on a consistent basis. As it so happens, there’s even moreNintendo Switch indie gamesin store for the console, and they will be revealed sooner rather than later.
Nintendo has announced that its nextIndie World Showcasewill take place on Tuesday, December 15 at 9am PT. The next Nintendo Indie World Showcase will run for about 15 minutes, featuring updates on previously-revealed Switch indie games, as well as brand new game reveals. What exactly will be shown at the event remains to be seen, but Nintendo Switch owners should be sure to tune in.

Meanwhile, some Nintendo Switch fans may be wondering when Nintendo will be hosting its next Nintendo Direct presentation. The closest thing Nintendo has gotten to a proper Nintendo Direct presentation was earlier this year when it unveiled its plans for theSuper Mario Bros.35th anniversary. It was during that presentation when Nintendo announcedSuper Mario 3D All-Stars, theSuper Mario Bros. 35battle royale, and more.
Unfortunately, it’s been a lot longer since Nintendo has had a full-fledged Nintendo Direct, and it’s unclear if they will ever really make a comeback. Nintendo seems to prefer hosting smaller, unannounced Nintendo Direct presentations that focus on specific games. It’s done this withSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatefor quite some time, with the next one of those scheduled to take place this week as well, on December 17. Those that tune in to that presentation will learn much more about theSephiroth DLCthat’s in the works forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Nintendo has also hosted a number of Partner Showcases this past year, which have also been set up similarly to traditional Nintendo Directs, though are still not quite the same thing. The latestNintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcasetook place in October, and Nintendo indicated that the next one won’t take place until some point in 2021. Considering this, the Indie World Showcase and theSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatepresentation this week could be the last time that fans hear any substantial news from Nintendo until the new year.
For a look at upcomingNintendo Switchindie games, fans should tune in to the Indie World Showcase on December 15 at 9:00am PT.
