15 minutes dedicated to independent games
It is therefore not a traditional Nintendo Direct that awaits us at the beginning of March, but rather an Indie World Showcase. The manufacturer announced this via its Nintendo Today mobile application, simply giving us 24 hours notice since this edition of The Indie World Showcase will take place this Tuesday, March 3 at 3 p.m. Paris time.
As for what we can expect, well the surprise will undoubtedly be the most complete since this event focuses on independent games on Switch and Switch 2 which are sometimes relatively little publicized. At least this time, there’s no need to cross your fingers in vain for a Hollow Knight Silksong which was so much hoped for in previous editions… well, almost. You’d think this would also be a good place to highlight Team Cherry’s first game. But don’t expect a very long show, this Indie World is only supposed to last around fifteen minutes.
So no real Nintendo Direct yet, even if it might not be too long. Remember that while Nintendo is usually used to organizing them in February, the schedule was turned upside down last year with a Nintendo Direct dedicated to the Switch 2 which was broadcast at the beginning of April. A little more patience then.
