Early this morning, Nintendo held its latest Indie World Showcase, which featured 20+ trailers for games coming soon and into next year.
The highlight form this Indie World Showcase has to be Sports Story. The Australian-developed game was announced all the way back in 2019, so a release date has been a long time coming. There are plenty of other great games in this Indie World Showcase, and some are even out right now, including Rogue Legacy 2.
Here are all the trailers and news from the Indie World Showcase.
