Nintendo has a double-header of presentations set to cap off August 2024, and they’re running back to back tomorrow. Bright and early, we’ll be waking up to a Nintendo Indie World presentation that shows off the latest and upcoming indie games coming to Nintendo Switch, followed by a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase that shows off news and reveals of games from Nintendo partnered studios.

Nintendo announced the back-to-back Indie World and Direct Partner Showcase presentation this week via its social media channels. On Tuesday, August 27, 2024, at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET, Nintendo will go live with the presentation on the Nintendo YouTube channel. There, it will show roughly 40 minutes of game news and updates that starts with the Indie World presentation and goes right into the Partner Showcase.

Join us tomorrow, August 27 at 7am PT, for an #IndieWorld Showcase followed by a #NintendoDirect Partner Showcase! The livestream, featuring both presentations back-to-back, will be roughly 40 minutes in total.

It will be interesting to see what Nintendo has for us in this double-header presentation. Many have been waiting for a long time to see news on Hollow Knight: Silksong and there’s a wide variety of other great indies that would look good on the Switch (our fingers are crossed for a Crow Country Switch reveal).

We won’t have to wait long to see what Nintendo has in store for the Switch. With the Indie World and Direct Partner Showcase set for tomorrow morning, stay tuned for the news and reveals right here at Shacknews.

      If it’s just Zelda
      A) I will be sad
      B) NTDOY tanks and I buy more
      C) I uninstall slay the spire and start working through my first party backlog.

        I just don't think Nintendo is going to reveal Switch 2 before the Holiday quarter.

        I know :-( let me hope.
        
        Business sense, I think the biggest announcement is they drop the price of the switch by $50 and is bundled with mariokart8 or something. Helps them make their stated # for the fiscal year.
        
        I hope they tease some new online infrastructure stuff that will work for current switch games and also will be used for the switch2.

      They weren’t selling any WiiUs at that point. Switch is still selling just as much as ps5 & Xbox. If they aren’t dropping switch2 before the holidays why eat into that $$.

        They want to announce it and control the messaging before production begins and actual photos of it get leaked from manufacturing.

      Don't expect it before early next year. The Switch gets one last holiday push and then Switch 2 launches some time after March.

        I wanna know what Nintendo does with the original switch when the switch 2 launches. If they can drop it to $199 and the switch lite to $150 (or even $99) they'll make a killing.

        I hope there is still some support. I've not really touched mine, but it's nice when traveling to have something.

        I think it’ll get a year or two of overlapping support like the 3DS did, longer depending on the game.
        
        If it’s a smaller game (AAs, indies, etc) then support can be indefinite, maybe not to the degree of the PS4 but certainly longer than it used to be.

        I think they outta continue to sell the switch at a very low price point and just take in margins from software sales. Still a lot of folks around the world who haven’t played.
