Summer Nindies Showcase Announced For Nintendo Switch: Here's How To Watch

Earlier this week, Nintendo released a video that highlighted a number of indie titles heading for the Switch. If that wasn't enough for you, then good news: today Nintendo announced that it will also be hosting another Nindies Showcase for summer 2018. This Nindies Showcase will likely announce a collection of new indie titles while giving release dates to some we already knew about.

These Nindies Showcases are nothing new. Nintendo has been premiering these presentations peridocially since before the Switch even launched, and it's proven to be a really good way to show off some lesser-known titles that probably wouldn't receive as much marketing otherwise. Many Nintendo platforms have struggled to attract third-party developers in the past, so these are also a good way for Nintendo to show that the Switch won't fall victim to that same problem.

In any case, the Summer 2018 Nindies Showcase has been scheduled for August 28, 2018, so it's just a few days away. The whole thing will go down 9 AM Pacific/12 PM Eastern, and there are a variety of ways you'll be able to watch. Nintendo, as always, will host the live stream on its website, but you'll also be able to watch it on YouTube via the video embedded below.

Though Nintendo hasn't confirmed it yet, there's also a high likelihood of it streaming the Nindies Showcase through its Twitch channel as well. So, you'll likely have a variety of different ways to watch the stream once 12 PM Eastern rolls around on August 28.

As for what Nintendo will talk about during the show, that's anyone's guess. In typical Nintendo fashion, the company hasn't revealed any games that will be included in the Showcase, and it almost certainly won't in the days leading up to the premiere. We'll just have to sit tight and wait for Tuesday, but while we're doing that, head down to the comments section and tell us which games you hope to see next week.
