A week after a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, the company announced an Indie World Showcase stream will go over new Switch and Switch 2 games on August 7, 2025. This will be a shorter presentation. It will only spend about 15 minutes looking at new titles for both systems. Things start at 6am PT/9am ET.
The placeholder for the showcase stream is already live on the Nintendo YouTube channel. As usual, there are no “tells” in it suggesting what we might see during the presentation. However, we do know that Hades 2 is headed to both systems and recently got its last early access patch and Hollow Knight: Silksong will head to Nintendo consoles. These streams also tend to involve shadowdrops, so we could see games launch on Thursday.
As for that July 2025 Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase that preceded the August 2025 Indie Switch and Switch 2 game stream, it focused on third-party titles. A few Square Enix, Atlus, Bandai Namco, and Capcom ones showed up, like Octopath Traveler 0, Persona 3 Reload, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, and Monster Hunter Stories 3. Some of the shadowdrops in that stream were Chillin by the Fire and a Switch 2 version of Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven.
The Nintendo Indie World Showcase will look at Switch and Switch 2 games not covered in the July 2025 Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase at 6am PT/9am ET on August 7, 2025.
