As Nintendo is wont to do, the August 7 Indie World showcase was announced only two days before it was scheduled to air. The last Nintendo Direct was a partner showcase, where we saw a ton of third-party announcements for the Switch 2, like Octopath 0, but Indie Worlds are dedicated exclusively on games from smaller teams. But smaller teams don’t mean these games don’t have a huge amount of hype around them. While there wasn’t any news about Silksong or Hades 2, we did see a bit more about Mina the Hollower and a few surprising new announcements that might catch your eye.

The Game Boy Color-inspired platformer from Yacht Club Games, Mina the Hollower, started off the show with a dazzling trailer before its release on October 31 of this year.

The viral horror sensation on Steam about venturing deep into the underworld to create the most popular horror film with your friends is coming to Switch 2 next year.

This far-future game lets you play as a new underwater bird-creature called a Twi exploring the deep ocean of a frozen Earth. Tasked with protecting the ocean, there’s a huge world full of mysteries and dangers to find. Glacier is timed Switch 2 exclusive coming this holiday.

The new variant joins Lenovo's existing LOQ 17IRX10 lineup, which was previously available with GeForce RTX 5050, RTX 5060, and RTX 5070 8GB graphics options. While the chassis remains unchanged, the addition of a 12GB RTX 5070 brings more VRAM to the series, a specification that has become increasingly important as modern AAA games demand larger texture caches and higher memory capacity.
