During its Indie World event, Nintendo revealed its future indie games coming to the Nintendo Switch. Here are five titles not to be missed in the coming weeks.
The Switch is not just about the new adventures of Mario and Princess Peach, or the big releases and future Xbox titles. Nintendo’s hybrid console is also a platform of choice for small developers and their independent games.
