The success of Switch is not only due to the company’s games or those produced by video game titans: the two-in-one console has become, throughout its seven years, a true bastion for independent developers and that welcoming haven for all those who enjoy great little gems. The Big N knows this well, and its Nintendo Indie Worlds are that springboard for great discoveries, surprises and announcements that brighten your day. Above all, when what is shown releases a demo or arrives right after the presentation.
Almost 20 games They were shown at Nintendo Indie World. Some from the hand of their creators with custom-made presentations that gave additional value to their work, and others in a much more fleeting way than desired. Most of them are delightfully relaxing and, without serving as a precedent, it seems that the addition of farm games has been given a break this time around. Which gives great margins for more classic and experimental bets. And at iGamesNews we have brought them together for you all in one place.
From rambunctious cats to teenage mutant turtles, to sequels that deserve to be celebrated and personality tests that borrow the form of a video game. Below you will find each and every one of the titles presented during Nintendo Indie World accompanied by their release date and an appetizer in the form of a trailer or gameplay.
