That’s another Nintendo Indie Showcase in the books. As the name implies, these smaller Nintendo Direct-style events are solely aimed at smaller indie games, so don’t glance through this roundup expecting to hear what’s happening with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom or (sadly) Hollow Knight: Silksong.
Below, we go over every announcement and include every trailer revealed during the Direct, including a handful of Switch games that are out today and release dates for anticipated sequels like Oxenfree II: Lost Signals and Blasphemous 2. We’ve organized announcements in the order they occurred during the Direct.

The showcase kicked off with a new look at Mineko’s Night Market, a fun-looking life sim with a release date that’s been “coming soon” for a while. It looks like that soon is 2023, as the Direct revealed Mineko’s Night Market is coming to Switch on September 26. We also got another look at some of the activities you’ll be able to complete at the titular night market (like cat races!) as well as some scary agents who have something to hide.
