Is a new Nintendo Indie World showcase on the horizon? Recent speculation hints at it
Everyone knows how Japanese game publisher Nintendo is renowned for its superb catalog of polished and accessible games. More than just that, they are also known to be hardcore supporters of indie teams. Their collaborations for exclusive efforts like Cadence of Hyrule and Snipperclips prove as much.
Additionally, their Indie World Direct showcases have successfully highlighted new and upcoming talent in the indie scene.
Not just popular names, mind you, but even those climbing the ladder in the industry. If recent speculation is to be believed, we could see a new presentation soon enough. This comes via Reddit as eagle-eyed users pointed out a recent comment by insider Emily Rogers that could hint at it.
In a comment on the social forum Famiboards, Rogers posed a question to fans, and to quote:
It was quite out-of-the-blue, especially when previous comments were discussing other topics. Commenters were quick to follow up with remarks wondering if it meant that something was brewing behind the scenes at Nintendo.
Additionally, Rogers essentially confirmed the existence of last year's livestream on the same forum in December 2021. This was followed up with the last Indie World on December 15.
Indie World 12.15.2021 presented some great games. These include the likes of Sea of Stars, OlliOlli World, and GRIME. Considering we're closing in on the half-year mark with no showcase in sight, it could lend credibility to the speculation.
Nintendo's staunch support for indie games ensures that some of the biggest names will make it over. Perhaps the recently released side-scroller Trek to Yomi? Team Cherry's Hollow Knight: Silksong is the top contender for one of the most anticipated games on the Switch hybrid console.
