Happy Indie World Showcase day! We just saw a Nintendo Indie World Showcase that included over 12 indie games coming to Nintendo Switch in 2023 and 2024, including several brand-new game announcements. Major reveals include the reemergence of a lost Shantae game, Outer Wilds' long-awaited Switch debut, and much more.
If you missed it, here's a quick rundown of everything we just saw at Indie World:
Announced earlier this year, Shantae creator WayForward has reached deep into its vault of canceled titles and brought back something we never thought would see the light of day. Back in 2001, WayForward was working on a GBA Shantae game called Shantae 2: Risky Revolution. The game was never finished, never released. But now, the studio has brought back much of the original development team to complete what's now known as Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution, for a 2024 release. It's built on the original game but with a restored/remastered look and a new, four-player local battle mode. It's coming in 2024.
Core Keeper, a top-down sandbox game set in an underground world, has been in early access on Steam since March of last year. It's now coming to NIntendo Switch with a full release in 2024, including an online multiplayer for up to eight players.
Newly revealed at Indie World, On Your Tail is a sleuthing game set in the seaside town of Borgo Marina, where anthropromorphic animals are enjoying holidays by the sea. Town exploration, minigames, fishing, and other life sim elements are interspersed with detective work as the main character tries to uncover the mystery behind a strange masked figure appearing in the town. On Your Tail is a timed console exclusive coming to Switch in 2024.
