Nintendo Indie World Showcase October 28: Start Time and What to Expect

Nintendo’s next Indie World Showcase airs Wednesday, October 28, at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET), and it should run about 15 minutes. Indie World is Nintendo’s recurring showcase for games from independent developers. Nintendo of America announced it on October 27 and says the show will carry “new announcements and updates on indie games coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.”

You can watch it on Nintendo’s YouTube channel, and the company’s post links the stream. The announcement went out only a day ahead, and Nintendo hasn’t listed any games.

Because it’s an indie showcase, the games on screen will come from outside developers rather than Nintendo’s own studios, so don’t expect first-party Mario or Zelda news. Nintendo hasn’t named a single game for this one. The last Indie World Showcase aired in March and ran about the same length. For example, it showed Mixtape, Toem 2, Blue Prince, Rotwood, Moonlighter 2, Denshattack and Blighted, according to Eurogamer‘s recap.

If a game is dated or priced during the show, we’ll add it to our release calendar once the publisher or the eShop page confirms it, and we’ll write up anything that’s a real announcement afterward.

A 15-minute slot is tight for a show covering two consoles. Nintendo hasn’t said whether anything will launch during the show. Watch live, then check the eShop listing for any game you want before trusting a date or price from the stream.
