Axiom Verge 2, Metal Slug Tactics At Nintendo’s Switch Showcase

It’s time once again for Nintendo’s Indie World, a semi-regular showcase of some of the cool indie games coming to the Switch in the coming months. This latest presentation features a combination of exciting, brand-new games and old favorites making their Nintendo Switch debut. Here’s all the Nintendo Indies shown off today.

These Nintendo Indie World events have been far more regular than Nintendo Directs as of late. This is the second presentation of 2024, the last being April’s event that brought Fez to the Switch. The December 2024 presentation brought Among Us to Switch fans, while last August’s presentation brought us Spiritfarer.

Let’s see if this show’s games can keep up with those previous shows’ hype.
