The year is nearing its conclusion, and the last big AAA titles are rolling out one-by-one. But today, it was all about the independent titles on Nintendo's latest Indie World Showcase, highlighting new games from smaller indie teams coming to the Switch and Switch 2.
Here's everything we saw at the October 2026 Nintendo Indie World Showcase.
Today's Indie World Showcase started with a big headliner, as the long-awaited witch-life simulator Witchbrook got a release date. Chucklefish and Robtality's cozy magical world goes live on January 28, 2027.
Fans of 3D platformers should probably keep an eye on Winds of Viridia, which looks like a colorful game with a lot of interesting movement and exploration. Shark Jump's fantastical platformer is arriving next year, but if the wait's too long, a free demo is coming today on the eShop.
From one of the co-creators of Celeste, City of None has a gorgeous pixelated art style and colors that immediately remind me of Game Boy Color classics. It's a 2D platformer where you leap around, fight enemies, and explore the strange city around you. The jumping and fighting look solid, and I really like the mysterious atmosphere and art direction. City of None's set for sometime in 2027.
The sword-surfing adventure from the makers of Abzu and Journey is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on October 29, 2026 - tomorrow! It's a gorgeous adventure that earned a Must-Play badge from us , so it's worth your time if you like the kinds of gorgeous, beautiful adventures Giant Squid (developer of Abzu) is known for.
