Nintendo introduced us today to its latest Indie World showcase. And we have a roundup of all the announcements and revelations regarding current and upcoming Nintendo Switch games.

Cyberfunk from Bomb Rush

One of the first games featured was Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.

The general premise is that you are a musician looking to become a star and the game will feature many (as yet unnamed) musical talents when it launches in 2022. But right now, the biggest attraction is that this game has an aesthetic. similar to fan-favorite title Jet Set Radio.

Toem: a photographic adventure

Toem: A Photo Adventure was featured and stands out for being a top-down title presented as a black and white cartoon.

This game seems like a great way to relax. There’s soothing music, photography-focused gameplay, and gorgeous levels inspired by Scandinavian landscapes. Check out this when it launches this fall.

Hero cycle

Loop Hero has previously released on PC and gamers have really loved it. Now, this beloved title will arrive on Nintendo Switch during the holiday season.

Watch the trailer to see how each card you play in the game can have profound effects on your character!

Far away: changing tides

Far: Changing Tides was previously released on PC and other consoles and serves as a sequel to Far: Lone Sails.

This evocative title is all about exploring the ocean. And you can start your Switch journey in 2022.


Tactics of metal snails

Since the heyday of arcades and Neo Geo, Metal Slug games have fascinated gamers. Now, Metal Slug Tactics offers us a new way to play in this bright and bizarre world.

This new game won’t launch until 2022. But you can console yourself by playing previous franchises on the Nintendo Switch.

Tetris Effect: Connected

Tetris Effect: Connected was released previously for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Nintendo Switch will receive this multiplayer-focused title on October 8th. But it remains to be seen whether true Tetris diehards will be able to break away from the fantastic Tetris 99.

Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon

The Shovel Knight series has basically brought 2D platforming back to life, and Pocket Dungeon adds even more mystery-solving action to this favorite platformer.

This title will be released for Switch during the holiday season and will include more than 10 playable heroes. And of course, it will have special features with the Shovel Knight Amiibo that lets you call a friendly fairy for help.

Play outside today

Of course, the showcase didn’t focus solely on games coming out in the future. He also focused on several great games that are available right now.

This includes Necrobarista: Final Pour, which is a timed release exclusive for Switch. You can also play Islanders: Console Edition, Slime Rancher, and Curious Expedition 2 today. Finally, you can now play highly anticipated titles like Garden Story, Boyfriend Dungeon, and most surprisingly, Axiom Verge 2.

Future titles to look forward to

There were some games in today’s showcase that were just short parts of a sizzling reel. This includes Gang Beasts (launched in Fall 2021), Astroneer (launched in January 2022), Lumberbear Jack (launched in 2022) and Hundred Days (launched this winter).
