Nintendo has revealed that it will be livestreaming an Indie World video presentation next week.
The show will be live next Monday, 19th August, at 6am PT / 9am ET (so that's 2pm BST / 3pm CEST). Nintendo promises "roughly 20 minutes of information about indie games coming to Nintendo Switch".
Naturally, we'll make sure to host the show right here at Nintendo Life, so make sure to come along, watch, and chat about all the announcements as they happen.
What do you want to see? Any particular games or franchises you're hoping will come to Switch? Let us know in the comments below.

Untitled Goose Game please.
It's about time!!! Been awhile since a good ol gaming snack!
Still waiting on crosscode though, please give me crosscode...
After all the recent leaks, I just want the next Nintendo Direct, please.
Steam needs to do stuff like this.
I'm going to dream about Fire Pro Wrestling on the Switch.
@patbacknitro18
What leaks?
I always love a good nindies video! Wonder what the last-second surprise will be this time? Cadence of Hyrule ending up being a ton of fun!
Also, I agree with @chardir, we need news about the goose (game)!
I keep my expectations low because from my last experience with previous Nindie Direct, i got nothing interesting.
I do really hope Summer in Mara, Re:Legend, Sikanda, Farmer Folks will be included in Direct.
If it isn't, at least i will got their updated informations from Nintendolife / Nintendosoup / Nintendoeverything / their Twitter / playasia preorders.
I'll watch to see if there is anything that interests me. It's been a while since there's been a new Nindie that I really like. I think Wargroove is the most recent.
For every Wargroove, Celeste, Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley and Night in the Woods, you've got a dozen wannabe 16 bit, metrioidvanias and 3 dozen random mobile shovelwares...
I hope we see something from Shantae and the Seven Sirens.

i normal direct came pretty soon after the last nindie , no?
@SBandy The recent SNES controller leak for one. Which follows up a WAY earlier datamine of the NES app on the switch revealing 22 SNES titles. Then some of the more credible leakers have been hinting at a new Banjo game being in development, which is why the higherups at Nintendo chose the character to be in Smash. Theres still a ton of Pokemon Sword and Shield info that has yet to be released, like new Pokemon, Regional forms, Gigamax forms, and so on. Then there's stuff like the Metroid Prime Trilogy port, Pikmin 4 announcement, and so on. A lot of stuff has been coming out recently, and while it's bad to get hopes up I still want a Nintendo direct regardless.
I hope we get more info on Castle Crashers Remastered & Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath.
Oh crap I just realized, will the FNAF ports finally get release dates in this Nindie Direct? God I hope so.
Shantae and the Seven Sirens release date incoming?
Heck, let's shoot for the stars: Shantae 4 Smash!
@patbacknitro18
Cool. I imagine there will be a decent sized Direct coming up in September.
I would love the SNES games!
Excellent. Always love these indie presentations, usually get some pretty creative and interesting stuff.
There has been something amazing in every indie presentation. Looking forward to this loads.
Just show us what the NX is already!

Gets really excited... Checks time... Realises it's the start of my shift... Can't even sneak off for a "poo" to watch it!
I'm desperate for a Direct though.
Untitled Goose Game. Untitled Goose Game! Come on!
Also, I lowkey like these nindies as much as actual Nintendo Directs now! If I look at my Switch library it's about 50% Nintendo, 50% indie.
Hollow Knight Silksong
Hollow Knight Silksong!
HOLLOW KNIGHT SILKSONG!!!!!!!!!
Release date please
Have Jonathan Blow on screen to announced a port of The Witness.
After the last one with cadence and cup head, I can't wait!
I'd quite like a decent golf game please anyone? Pangya- like or realistic just as long as there is more than one course.
Nice, I really want to know the release date for BLASPHEMOUS (specially) and Hollow Knight Silksong.
I also want to know more about Hazelnut Bastille, but I think we'll have to wait more for that one.
@MasterJay True, Cuphead was announce in one of these. So it wouldn't be weird to hear about a new Microsoft game such as Ori or Rare Replay in this one, right?
@SBandy i tought the same thing.. what leaks?
I need info on the switch release of Dusk, Amid Evil, and Streets of Rage 4.
unttled goose game release date please
Painting simulator
I don’t want a direct for release dates on games I already know about. I only want info on game announcements.
Still so many 360/PS3 indie games that need to make their way to the Switch. Outland, Braid, Fez, Shadow Complex, Joe Danger, etc. I wonder if the Switch will ever get them?
@patbacknitro18 5 gold stars and a pint of beer for mentioning Pikmin 4!!
I've kinda forgotten about a ninty direct and Nintendo in general since e3. What's happening to me! 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Can we finally have a release date for King Of Cards please? And a release date for that Untitled Goose Game.
Hopefully shadow drops of Castle Crashers, Windjammers 2 and Streets of Rage, but that might all be a bit much to ask.
20 minutes? Correct if I am wrong but this is the longest nindie until now isn’t it?
All I want out of this is Untitled Goose Game. I haven't heard any news about it since they said they were delaying it.
@SBandy nintendo filed a patent for snes wireless controller which like the nes controller meens snes games are coming to switch

Battleblock Theatre, please?
I always go into these with no real expectations and usually leave happy with a few Games that appeal to me at the very least. Like someone else has said, release date for cross code would be cool. I also fully expect Pine to be an " available later this week" since its supposed to drop in August. I've got eshop cred just waiting for it. King of Cards hopefully gets a release date of " available now." Can't think of anything else, other than maybe.....Cadence of Hyrule DLC( I'm kidding), or am i?
CrossCode available directly on Monday. Please. 🤞
Also, more details about Decay of Logos, maybe? And Sparklite?
Well, now that I mentioned Decay of Logos...other platforms have pre-orders up, but not the Switch. Could it be a sign...?
I love the Nindies!!!!! But so long a wait
SN: King of Cards and Untitled Goose Game updates please!
LOST WINDS 3!!!!!
Am I alone on this? (quietly backs out of the room)
I know it will never happen but I hope one of these directs will have a starbound port in it
Hollow Knight:Silksong
1001 Spikes
Decay of Logos
Untitled Goose Game
Cyber Shadow
Shovel Knight DLC
Ori and the Blind Forest
Ion Fury
Castle Crashers Remastered, please! I'd also love to see a shadow drop of West of Loathing's DLC, especially because I emailed the dev's support team on the topic of a Switch release early last month and they said it was still coming, but it had to be delayed several times due to "dumb" issues cropping up, and they said they were hopeful for a release by the end of the month...a bit late for that, but I think it's possible.
Where has the Untitled Goose Game been?
@Thumbsofsteel I would buy a LostWinds Trilogy Collection for sure, if they make a 3rd one.
I would love to see more WiiWare titles "escape" their WiiWare status and just become standard indies.
@Cyberbotv2 totally agree! Keep the WWE 2KXX nonsense. Fire Pro is all we need.
@jockmahon usually we have a direct about a week after a nindie so....
@readalie you have me dreaming of Cadence of Mario World now. Imagine the music.
@Chunkboi79 Amen to that. Crosscode was phenomenal on PC
@Panopticon Did you know they released LW1&WotM on iOS at one point? Not the same with touch controls though; this game plays much better with pointer controls.
It bugs me that we never got a proper conclusion to the story. These were great relaxing games & I could totally get behind an HD compilation w/joycon controls.
@patbacknitro18 which leaks?
@Thumbsofsteel Yes, I think I was able to download both of them for free when they were a featured app of the week or something. Controlling the wind is better with touch controls, but controlling Toku is better with a traditional controller. They would be right at home on Switch or even 3DS.
@PikaPhantom yes yes! Been waiting for this one as well. Cant wait to replay on the Switch, such an awesome local MP game!
Windjammers 2 is all I need.
King of Cards, Silksong, Seven Sirens, Impossible Lair, and maybe some Cadence of Hyrule DLC please!
Shovel Knight, King of Cards would be great.
@WiltonRoots Agreed. They hyped the NX up for so long and then just stopped talking about it all of a sudden like 2.5 years ago
@TeslaChippie tell me about it, i’m chomping at the bit here!
@redd214 I'm excited as well. I remember having a good time with the demo with family years ago, and the soundtrack is excellent. I'm looking forward to experiencing the full game - as Battleblock Theater proved to me, The Behemoth makes some great games.
Sweet, I always like these "Nindie Directs".
Now that I think about it, is there a chance to see another indie Nintendo IP LIKE Candece of hyrule?
Crosscode release date

NOT hyped for Hollow Knight: Silksong. Looks so "ugh, this again." I love the original Hollow Knight, but I'm happy with just having that.
VERY hyped for Cyber Shadow, and Shovel Knight's update. Especially Cyber Shadow. My body is ready!
Please let it be Message Board Simulator
I think the acclaimed platformer "A Hat in Time" was a leak. I think it'll be a good addition to the Switch library. I hope we get an update for Bloodstained; a stable framerate update would be great. I hope they announce SNES games for the online service. Maybe, they'll show the Switch Lite in action a little more too.
Yay! I was just thinking it was about time for a direct of some sort and I actually rather like these Indie directs. Less disappointment..

Something from Shin’en would be good, it’s been a long time since they did anything new.
@TheWorkingDead YES! Do want!
Also, is your username a Steven Universe reference?
Oh, nice! Looks like I'll get to catch it live right before I go to work!
There are rumors that Superhot and another Microsoft game will be announced.
I have read in some websites and watching some videos that says Ori and the Blind forest could be coming to switch and will be on the indie event tomorrow
Please Forza Horizon!!
@NintendoByNature looking forward to seeing reviews of Pine. Not sure yet if it's for me.
Release date is August: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/pine-switch/
So, shouldn't be long either way I guess!
@readalie no. A Walking Dead reference. But where as a zombie I’m forced to still go to the office and work.
