Nintendo Indie Highlights Video Unveils Upcoming Switch Indie Games

Nintendo of Europe has once again brought the spotlight to indie game developers with the latest Indie Highlights video, a recurring showcase designed to introduce and promote independent titles set to arrive on the Nintendo Switch.

The presentation, which debuted on the official Nintendo YouTube channel, offers fans an insider’s look at a diverse lineup of indie experiences that will be launching throughout the coming year. The Indie Highlights initiative has become a popular method for Nintendo to feature smaller-scale titles and foster a thriving indie community on the Nintendo Switch.

The digital showcase includes an array of games spanning various genres, ensuring that fans of strategy, adventure, and creative experimentation all have something to look forward to. Notable in this latest video is the inclusion of 'Wargroove,' developed by Chucklefish.

Following critical acclaim on other platforms, Wargroove brings its accessible-yet-deep tactical gameplay to Nintendo’s hybrid console.

With cross-platform play and robust online features, Wargroove is poised to become a staple for strategy enthusiasts on the Switch. Also highlighted is the newest installment in the SteamWorld series, celebrated for its inventive blend of genres and award-winning gameplay.

Previous entries such as SteamWorld Dig and SteamWorld Heist have enjoyed commercial and critical success on the eShop, and anticipation is high for what the developers at Image & Form will deliver next. In characteristic style, the Indie Highlights video features an eclectic mix of titles—ranging from charming farm-life simulators to absurdist adventures involving mischievous goats.

By curating such a broad slate, Nintendo underscores its commitment to maintaining the Switch as one of the most welcoming platforms for indie talent. Nintendo of Europe reaffirmed this direction in statements accompanying the video.

The company emphasized its ongoing dedication to supporting independent studios and bringing a diverse selection of creative games to its audience via the Nintendo eShop.

A spokesperson noted that the Switch’s accessible hardware, flexible play styles, and vibrant online community continue to attract developers big and small. Since the debut of the Nintendo Switch in 2017, the eShop has become a bustling marketplace for indie projects, with numerous titles breaking sales records and winning awards.

The Indie Highlights series, in tandem with dedicated Nintendo Direct presentations, ensures that major and independent developers both have a platform to reach Nintendo’s global user base. With the latest Indie Highlights video now live, Switch owners can explore upcoming indie releases and mark their calendars for these anticipated titles.
