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 hook is familiar, your choices matter, people notice, and consequences linger. The difference is scale. This is a fully open world take, with townsfolk on routines who respond to what you do, even when you think no one’s watching. It’s still chasing that mix of heroics, petty crime, and dry British humor, only with modern action RPG muscle.

Nintendo first teased the Talking Flower during a Nintendo Direct showcase last September. The company has now shared more details about the product, and confirmed when it will officially go on sale. Based on the flowers in the Super Mario Bros. Wonder game, the Talking Flower is exactly what its name suggests: a potted flower that speaks around twice per hour, delivering lines like "Sometimes it's nice to space out" or "Bowser and his buds can't get us here, right?"
