Earlier this week, we shared our impressions of UK event EGX Rezzed, highlighting how impressed we were with Nintendo's progress in the indie gaming space. The Nindie presence was also high at last month's GDC event, which just so happened to take place at the same time as March's Nindies Showcase. There's a lot of Nindie love in the air right now.
As if to prove our point, this new video shared by Nintendo focuses on some of the most exciting indie games on the horizon. Nindie Showcase co-host Katie Casper chats to ten developers who are all bringing games to the Switch, and we'd urge you to give it a watch.
Not only will you learn a couple of things about said games, but it's also nice to see the developers be given a moment or two in the spotlight.
Are there any upcoming indie games that you can't wait to play? Give a shoutout to your favourites in the comments below.

Has anybody made a 'Katie Casper, the friendly host' gag yet? Anyway, looking forward to Cuphead.
Wow, she's kinda cute. I might even be inclined to be more than just a friend wink wink nudge nudge
But seriously though - Stranger Things looks like garbage. As a major fan of the series, I can't believe they would create a game that looks and plays like an ill-advised and unspired 90s movie licensed s---show.

@andywitmyer yes, but then it would be such a throw-back that it could almost get away with it - or it could be soooo bad that they end up burying the source code in a server in the Nevada desert, which would be even more 80s.
@andywitmyer It's meant to be retro, so.
@andywitmyer The best Stranger Things game on Switch can only be created by these two in collaboration.
Overland and NeoCab are both keeping me interested. I wanna see and hear more.
CuopHead's a non-discussion, I need that.
@andywitmyer
My guess is that this is EXACTLY what it is SUPPOSED to look like. If you'd been keeping up, there was already an official Stranger Things game released a year and a half ago that ALSO looked like a SNES game.
Pedro, Overland, and Creature in the Well for me. Damn they look great.
Finally a video from the Nindies people that didn’t make me cringe!
Pedro and Bloodroots both look intriguing. Man, there’s good stuff on the horizon...
4:44 lenght video when I could read an article about the same topic in a minute
Stop wasting our time.
@andywitmyer IKR, I love retro games and all but that forced isometric perspective really bugs me FSR.
@Yanick666 It's a Nintendo video, not a Nintendo Life video.
@andywitmyer I thought that'd be the whole point in making it this way. Some (albeit not the majority of) licensed games back then did make a decent fist of turning shows and movies into good games. T2 and TMNT being just two examples.
I like the direction Nintendo is taking with these videos.
It's the.. Nintendo Direct-ion!
"It's good for a budget and it soaks up the blood"
These are cool and all but what about Skullgirls?
Excited for the Stranger Things game
@andywitmyer would you like to do a romance with her? 😏
Ready for My Time at Portia
Why can't they just be called games? Why do we label them "indie" in the first place?
@Yanick666 "Stop wasting our time."
...as you take the time to post this.
Took 2 seconds.
@andywitmyer Hi. Comments like yours are decidedly not cute. Don't be a creep, yeah?
@echofar Hi. Comments like yours clearly show that you severely lack a sense of humor. Don't be a stick in the mud, yeah?
