While we wait for a Switch 2 announcement, Nintendo showed off 40 minutes of game announcements from indie developers and third-party partners.
Even without a Switch 2 reveal, it’s been a busy period of announcements for Nintendo. There was a packed Direct in June filled with major reveals like Mario & Luigi: Brothership and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and last week, the company showed off its upcoming museum in Kyoto. Now we have a pair of events squashed together: the Indie World Showcase followed by a Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase.
There were some fun surprises, including the return of MySims; retro bundles for Tetris, Castlevania, and Capcom fighting games; a dating sim where you can date literally anything; and a very cool update for Balatro. (Sadly, Hollow Knight: Silksong once again did not make an appearance.) A number of the games are also available to download right now, so you don’t have to wait for a release date.
If you weren’t able to watch the 40-minute-long event live, you can check out all of the highlights, including plenty of trailers, in this stream.
