Another Nintendo Direct kicks off today, and this time, the spotlight is on the smaller games that’ll be coming to Switch 2 and Switch consoles. While we’ve already had Directs dedicated to Pokemon and third-party publishers, the Indie World Showcase is typically focused on smaller games , so you’ll probably want to keep your expectations in check.
This will also be a short livestream that will run for roughly 15 minutes, with new announcements and updates on indie games coming to the Switch systems. We’re not expecting any major reveals, but we’ll be pleasantly surprised if we see anything related to Hollow Knight: Silksong today.
In case you don’t have time to watch, we’ll be keeping this post updated with all the news as it happens.
Mina the Hollower
Kicking things off was a new trailer for Mina the Hollower. The game launches on October 31, and you can grab a demo for it right now on the eShop.
Well Dweller
Well Dweller looks like another great game starring a crow, and it features a creepy art direction that makes it stand out. It’ll be coming to Switch in 2026.
Neverway
Described as a nightmarish life-simulator RPG, Neverway puts you in the boots of Fiona, who starts a new life on a farm and becomes the immortal herald of a dead god. It’ll be coming to Switch in 2026.
Herdling
The brand-new adventure from Far developer Okomotive, Herdling combines an epic trip up a mountain summit with managing a herd of adorably fluffy beasts. This will be out soon on August 21 for Switch.
Is This Seat Taken?
Out now for Switch, Is This Seat Taken? tasks you with putting your spatial skills to the test by deciding who sits where. A job easier said than done, as you’ll have to match people and personalities in locations like a cinema, a crowded bus, a wedding reception, or a cramped taxicab.
One of the best games starring an adorable cat–a genre we’ll nevergrow tired of–Little Kitty, Big City is getting some fresh DLC. The Picture Perfect update adds new parts of the neighborhood to explore, even more hats to try on, a photo mode, and cosmetic options to help you crate the perfect kitty–which is obviously a calico.
