The Nintendo Switch and indie games go together like Yoshi and apples. Nintendo has a good working relationship with tons of independent developers, and helps to push their newest projects through Indie World Showcases, an ongoing series of presentations dedicated to indie developers and their games.
Nintendo just announced the next Indie World Showcase in a tweet today, one of a series of presentations similar to their trademark Nintendo Direct shows.
The next Indie World Showcase of December 2021 will be around 20 minutes long. Nintendo announced that all-new indie titles coming to Nintendo Switch in the upcoming months will be featured, much to the delight of indie fans. After all, the Animal Crossing October 2021 Direct was filled to the brim with new information, so there's no doubt that Nintendo will try their best to stack these announcements as high as possible.
The showcase premieres tomorrow on December 15, 2021. Make sure to tune in to the official webpage, the official Nintendo Twitch channel, or the official Nintendo YouTube channel at 9 a.m. Pacific Time, 12 p.m. Eastern Time. We'll be sure to do a roundup of everything announced, so don't worry if you can't catch the presentation.
