It’s time for another video game showcase and this time around, Nintendo’s stepping up to the plate. The company’s latest Indie World stream takes place today at 10AM ET and you can watch it above.
The showcase is slated to last for around 20 minutes and it will feature announcements and updates on games that are coming to Nintendo Switch this year. With only Endless Ocean Luminous, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on the docket as things stand, the first-party calendar is looking pretty sparse in the run up to the Switch’s successor, which is rumored to arrive in early 2025. So giving fans some exciting indies to look forward to in the meantime is a smart idea.
There are some signs that Hollow Knight: Silksong may show up during the showcase. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see updates on some of the year’s biggest hits, such as Balatro.
One thing I’m especially curious about is whether we’ll ever see Palworld on Switch. That enormous hit is effectively a survival-based spin on Pokémon. Given Nintendo’s close association with that franchise and The Pokémon Company, a Switch port of Palworld seems unlikely, but hey, some strange things have already happened in the video game world this year.
