Nintendo’s Indie World streams usually have some really unique and exciting-looking games. Indie World streams feature indie announcements, gameplay reveals, and even same-day releases for indie titles across a variety of genres.
Examples of the quality you can expect from Nintendo’s indie-focused streams include Labyrinth City: Pierre the Maze Detective and Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield, which were both shown during April’s Indie World stream.
The August Indie World stream’s quality looks like it’s in line with previous showcases because most of these are absolutely going to end up on my Switch, especially the titles that were released later that day.
