Nintendo will host an Indie World Showcase livestream on March 3 at 9AM ET. The company said the event will feature approximately 15 minutes of news and updates on indie games for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
This showcase focuses exclusively on third-party indie titles rather than major first-party Nintendo franchises. The event provides a platform for smaller developers to reach the console’s large installed base.
Yacht Club Games stated that Mina the Hollower will launch for consoles this spring. The developer said a release date announcement could occur during the upcoming showcase. Scott Pilgrim EX, a side-scrolling fighter with four-player co-op and music by Anamanaguchi, will be available for download on March 3. A launch trailer for Scott Pilgrim EX is expected during the event.
Witchbrook, a life-sim game set in a magical school published by Chucklefish, is highlighted as a highly anticipated title. The previous Indie World Showcase occurred in August, featuring trailers and announcements for games including Ball x Pit and Mina the Hollower.
Nintendo stated the event will not feature major franchises like Mario or Zelda. The showcase is also unlikely to spotlight Pokémon Pokopia, which is scheduled to launch on March 5.
Nintendo is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics and video game company headquartered in Kyoto. The company’s common stock is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
