Nintendo Nindies Showcase Announced for March 20: Indie Game Highlights Coming to Nintendo Switch

Nintendo of America has officially announced the latest installment in its Nindies initiative, confirming a new Nindies Showcase set for March 20, 2018.

The event, scheduled to air at 9:00 a.m.

PT, aims to shine a spotlight on a fresh wave of indie titles coming soon to the Nintendo Switch eShop. The Nintendo Nindies Showcase serves as a dedicated platform for independent developers to present their upcoming projects, reflecting Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to fostering creative game development on its industry-leading hybrid hardware.

Despite a near-constant flow of indie game releases on the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo of America continues to actively support the Nindies program, ensuring that standout indie projects receive the attention they deserve. In a statement on its official Twitter account, Nintendo of America encouraged fans to tune in: "Join us on 3/20 at 9am PT for a #Nindies Showcase, where we’ll highlight some of the most exciting upcoming indie games for #NintendoSwitch." The announcement included a direct link to the livestream and the hashtag #Nindies, showcasing the brand's engagement with the indie development community and its global gaming audience. The Nindies Showcase presentation has become a cornerstone of Nintendo’s broader indie strategy since the rise of the Switch, offering valuable visibility to both established and up-and-coming independent studios.

Past showcases have featured hit games that later achieved significant commercial and critical success on the Nintendo Switch, further solidifying the platform as a premier destination for indie innovation. Since its launch in March 2017, the Nintendo Switch has built a robust and diverse game library, anchored by first-party hits and supported by a growing catalog of independent software.

The eShop continues to expand rapidly, with Nintendo publishing new indie releases each week.

The Nindies initiative is designed to highlight selected titles, helping them break through the crowded marketplace and reach a broad audience of Switch owners. As the Nintendo Direct and Nindies Showcase formats evolve, they remain essential events for industry watchers, game developers, and fans eager for news about upcoming games.

The March 20 Nindies Showcase promises to deliver new reveals and announcements, offering both established indie fans and newcomers a glimpse of what’s next for the Nintendo Switch’s indie catalog. For those interested in the future of Nintendo Switch indie games, the upcoming Nindies Showcase is not to be missed.
