ign.com:

Nintendo's latest Indie World Showcase just wrapped up, providing release dates for some long-delayed games along with a handful of surprise releases in the indie version of the company's popular Nintendo Direct format. Among them, we finally got our first glimpse of Blasphemous 2, Oxenfree II got a release date, and lots more. Here's the full list of announcements and trailers from today's Nintendo Indie World Showcase stream.

Meowza Games' long-in-development finally received a release date as part of the Indie World Showcase's opening act. First announced way back in 2015, Mineko's Night Market turned heads with its beautiful watercolor graphics, focus on Japanese mythology, and hordes of cats. It will cast players as Mineko as they explore; craft objects; befriend townsfolk, and take part in the local night market, where they can sell virtually everything they find. All in all, it's not that dissimilar from games like Fantasy Life and others like it, but its art makes it a standout. Mineko's Night Market launches September 26 on Nintendo Switch, and has also been announced for PC.

The Nintendo Switch version of My Time at Sandrock received an extended showing at the Indie World Showcase, where developer Pathea Games narrowed its official release window while talking about the inspiration it draws from the Gobi Desert. Currently in Early Access over on Steam, My Time at Sandbox is the follow-up to My Time at Portia, allowing players to assemble machines, build up their workshop, and customize their home. It also features plenty of exploration, with players venturing into ancient ruins in search of relics while battling monsters with melee combat. If that sounds exciting to you, the full version will land on Nintendo
