Nintendo's Indie Showcase: More Games, Less Excitement
Nintendo is back with its Indie World Showcase on August 7th, promising a 'smattering of indie games' for Switch 2 owners, even teasing Hades 2 and the elusive Hollow Knight: Silksong. They've sold nearly six million Switch 2 consoles since June, so clearly, 'there are a lot of people waiting for some new games to play.' Despite no earth-shattering announcements expected, Nintendo is working hard to keep gamers busy while we impatiently wait for Metroid Prime 4. And yes, the original Switch price hikes to blame tariffs because misery loves company.

(1 of 3)Nintendo’s got six million new Switch 2 owners holding their breath for indie games like Hades 2, because who needs big titles when you have tiny pixelated frustration? At least your wallet got lighter from tariffs already, congrats!
I love how Nintendo’s backup plan for excitement is a 'smattering' of indie games—because nothing screams thrilling like scattered minimalism and vague promises.
Selling six million Switch 2s but still charging more thanks to tariffs. Nintendo’s version of ‘you can’t escape the grind,’ now with inflation bonus.
