Everything shown during the April Nintendo Indie World Showcase

Skateboards, radios, and abodes of the dead

A new Nintendo Indie World Showcase debuted this morning, and it had a little bit of everything. There were Aztec myths, sick tricks, and even FEZ, that precocious little platformer.

In roughly 20 minutes, the showcase ran down a list of games coming to Nintendo Switch as far out as next year and as soon as today. Hereā€™s a rundown of everything they showed:

  • Road 96: This road-trip roguelite got revealed last year, and itā€™s still looking pretty rad. Also a little unsettling. Itā€™s set for Nintendo Switch later this year.
  • Oxenfree II: Lost Signals: Another Oxenfree is coming, set five years after the first but still featuring plenty of radio-wave ghosts by the look of it. The first Oxenfree was one of my big surprises of the year back in 2016, so Iā€™m definitely excited to see what Night School has in store later this year.
  • OlliOlli World: Take one excellent 2D skate franchise, turn it into a 2.5D world with branching paths and quirky characters, and now you have OlliOlli World. Itā€™s coming to Nintendo Switch this winter, where I will once again return to the rails and bail spectacularly.
  • Hindsight / Last Stop: Annapurna Interactive, the publisher whoā€™s picked up previous indie hits like What Remains of Edith Finch and Gorogoa, had two new games to showcase today. Last Stop is the supernatural narrative adventure weā€™ve seen at a few other showcases and still looks pretty interesting. Hindsight looks pretty rad too; itā€™s a narrative game about an older woman reminiscing about her family, with objects serving as portals into the past. Thatā€™s coming this year, while Last Stop is scheduled for July.
  • The Longing: The 400-day wait for a king to awaken is coming to Nintendo Switch, which should make the excruciating wait a little more manageable. As your in-game character waits out their painful respite in real-time, you can explore, manage puzzles, and generally vibe in the cave systems. Itā€™s also out later today, so hurry up and start waiting!
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredderā€™s Revenge: Not too much info was shown for this beat ā€™em up, but what more do you need? Itā€™s Tribute games and Dotemu, itā€™s coming to Switch later this year, and good lord, it looks absolutely radical.
  • GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon: One of the stranger reveals, this game from GuruGuru and Konami (!!!) has a super-stylized look, mixed with a roguelite setup. It looks like there are some gorgeous monsters to hack-and-slash through, but honestly, it was wild enough seeing Konamiā€™s name pop up in the showcase. GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon is coming to Switch next year.

A few more games got some release dates, including Cris Talesā€”which arrives on July 20ā€”and classic platformer (with a fair share of secrets) FEZ, which hits Nintendo Switch today. Hereā€™s a list of the rest of the games shown off, as well as their expected launch window.

  • Aerial_Knightā€™s Never Yield arrives May 19, with a demo later today
  • Aztech Forgotten Gods hits Nintendo Switch this fall
  • There is No Game: Wrong Dimension is out later today
  • Beasts of Maravilla Island looks like a super-chill wildlife photography game, out this June
  • Skul: The Hero Slayer arrives this summer

  • ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights lands on June 21
  • Weaving Tides weaves in this May
