Nintendo Direct: Indie World Showcase Stream Coming Tuesday

If you’re stuck at home and are running out of games to play already, Nintendo has you covered. The latest Nintendo Indie World Showcase stream is coming tomorrow, and it’s bringing plenty of information on upcoming Switch games.

Steaming on March 17 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET, the Indie World Showcase will last approximately 20 minutes. Nintendo isn’t detailing exactly what to expect during the video, but these events tend to feature rapid-fire announcements from acclaimed indie developers. We’re likely to hear about ports of existing indie games from other systems as well as all-new Switch exclusives.

Nintendo Direct Livestream Start Time

• PT: March 17, 10 AM

• GMT: March 17, 5 PM
• AET: March 18, 4 AM

During the Indie World Showcase back in December, Nintendo revealed Sports Story, which is a sequel to the acclaimed RPG Golf Story. We also got our first look at Axiom Verge 2, in development by original creator Tom Happ for a Fall 2020 release.

Nintendo could be hoping its presentation satiates fans until Animal Crossing: New Horizons launches March 20. Because the coronavirus has kept many people at home over the last few days and it shows no signs of slowing down, players are calling on Nintendo to release the game early, and a petition is up to more than 14,000 signatures already.

We don’t expect Nintendo to launch the game early, but there is a chance at least a few of the games announced during the Indie World Showcase will be released right after it ends. This sort of surprise is a staple of Nintendo presentations and it would help to make the wait a little easier.
