If you want to get a glimpse at these independent titles, you’ll want to check out the Nindies Showcase Summer 2017 Direct on Aug. 30, starting at 1 p.m. EDT. There are a few ways to watch the Nintendo Direct on your computer or phone. You can visit the official Nintendo Direct website, here. Viewers can also check the Nintendo Direct on Nintendo’s YouTube or Twitch page. You can watch both below.
While the Nintendo Switch library has been quite impressive, the bulk of the titles (so far) have been independent games. As publishers and studios get more acclimated to the Switch, we can expect more titles will release, especially independent games.
