Nintendo just held one of its Indie World<\/ins><\/a> showcase events, the first since April,<\/ins><\/a> and debuted a number of trailers for forthcoming Switch titles developed by small studios. There were plenty of nifty indies teased for the future or even surprise-released today, but let\u2019s get one thing out of the way first. There was no new trailer for Hollow Knight: Silksong,<\/em> nor was there any availability information, so the waiting game continues.<\/ins><\/a><\/p>\n

Just because Hollow Knight\u2019s<\/em> sequel continues to be vaporware doesn\u2019t mean that the event didn\u2019t see some big metroidvania news. There\u2019s a new Shantae game, and it has taken even longer than Silksong<\/em> to release. Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution<\/em> was a title that started development over 20 years ago and was originally intended for the Game Boy Advance. The hook here seems to be multiple layers that Shantae can move between to find secrets. It will be released sometime next year.<\/p>\n

Next, there\u2019s Moonstone Island,<\/em> a game that\u2019s been eating up the Steam charts lately. This is an absolutely stellar game in the \u201ccozy\u201d genre that\u2019s basically a combination between Pok\u00e9mon and Stardew Valley.<\/em> There are creatures to collect, turn-based battles, farming, romance and plenty of mystery. The world is huge and I\u2019ve yet to uncover it all even after months of playing. The Switch version is due to arrive in spring of next year.<\/p>\n

\n

Another big Steam hit from earlier this year is making its way to the Switch in 2024. Core Keeper<\/em> is a nifty mining-themed roguelike that I\u2019ve had a lot of fun these past several months. The gameplay loop is addictive, with base-building, upgrades aplenty and huge bosses. There\u2019s also a fairly robust multiplayer component.<\/p>\n

\n

The gorgeous tactical RPG Howl<\/em> surprise-launched today. Set in medieval times, Howl<\/em> has you trying to fend off a plague that turns folks into feral beasts. You\u2019ll participate in turn-based battles as you search for a cure. The graphics and art style sure are strong with this one. There\u2019s a demo for those curious and the full release costs $15.<\/p>\n

\n

Another gorgeous title, A Highland Song,<\/em> releases on December 5. This sidescrolling adventure looks to share some DNA with games such as Limbo<\/em> and promises an adaptive narrative that changes along with player choice. There\u2019s also a soundtrack populated exclusively by Scottish folk bands.<\/p>\n

\n

Of course, that\u2019s just scratching the surface of the trailers shown at Indie World. The Nintendo Switch is getting a refresh of one of the most iconic indie games of all time, Braid.<\/em> Additionally, there\u2019s the turn-based mouse sim Backpack Hero,<\/em> the drawing-based puzzler Passpartout 2: The Lost Artist<\/em> and many more, all releasing today or in the near future.<\/p>\n
