Review: Today is the Day of Nintendo Indie World

Last weekend, Nintendo celebrated the 30th anniversary of Pokémon by announcing a new game in the franchise, revealing the first images of the 10th generation of creatures. In other news, a new Pokémon-themed Mini Game Boy has been announced, and Kirby Air Ride received a new update (full patch notes available). In the UK, sales for Resident Evil Requiem on Switch 2 are comparable to those of Cyberpunk 2077. Donkey Kong Bananza has been updated to version 3.2.0, which resolves several issues. Nintendo held an Indie World Showcase on March 3, 2026, featuring roughly 15 minutes of news about indie games coming to Nintendo's latest consoles. The Japanese broadcast ran longer, around 25 minutes. This marked the fifth Nintendo Direct-style presentation in under two months. The showcase was expected to feature release dates for anticipated indie projects like Mina The Hollower from Yacht Club Games, which was delayed late last year. Trailers for previously announced content, such as the "Sea of Sorrow" DLC for Hollow Knight: Silksong or Scott Pilgrim EX (available for download tomorrow), may also have been included.

However, there were no new updates regarding Splatoon Raiders or any new first-party titles besides Fire Emblem: Fortunes Weave and Yoshi And The Mysterious Book. The broadcast began on March 3 at 11:00 AM Brasilia Time. According to the YouTube video description, the showcase featured 15 minutes of news about various indie games coming to Switch and Switch 2. As with every Nintendo Indie World event, the focus was on indie games, excluding any new Mario, Zelda, Metroid, or other Nintendo franchises, as well as big-studio titles like Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, or Elden Ring. A key expectation was news regarding a release date for Mina The Hollower, the new game from the studio behind Hollow Knight, which is slated for release this year. The Nintendo Indie World Showcase was available for free on Nintendo's official YouTube and Twitch channels. There was no official Portuguese broadcast. For additional content, readers can check out the game drops channels on YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, TikTok, and Instagram. [Note: The following information may reflect the opinion of Portal Uai.]
