Nintendo announced a new Indie World showcase for Wednesday, Oct. 28 that will present roughly 15 minutes of announcements and updates for indie games coming to Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
The company said the stream will begin at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET and can be viewed on Nintendo’s official YouTube channel and related Nintendo broadcast feeds. Nintendo posted the invitation as a brief message through its platform channels, including the Nintendo Today app.
what to expect
The Indie World format is intended to spotlight third-party and independent titles headed to Nintendo’s handheld platforms. Nintendo last held an Indie World showcase in March 2026; that presentation included a slate of small- and mid-size projects that have since reached players, such as Denshattack! and Mixtape, among others noted in recent coverage.
- When: Oct. 28 at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET
- Length: about 15 minutes
- Platforms covered: Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2
how Nintendo is presenting indies
Nintendo’s Indie World broadcasts are typically concise showcases that group a range of indie announcements into a short, livestreamed presentation. Past streams have combined new-game reveals, release windows and platform-specific updates; Nintendo’s message for this broadcast follows that same, compact format.
Viewers who want to watch the presentation live can tune in to Nintendo’s YouTube channel at the scheduled time. The company framed the event as a short update rather than a longer Direct-format showcase.
Coverage and roundups of the Indie World presentation will appear on outlets that follow Nintendo’s broadcasts and indie releases.
