What to expect from the November 2023 Indie World Showcase

The official announcement tweet and press release for November 2023’s Indie World Showcase simply states that it will feature “new announcements and updates on indie games coming to Nintendo Switch.” In terms of previously featured Indie World games that still aren’t out, titles like Animal Well, Rift of the NecroDancer, and Pepper Grinder come to mind.

There are also plenty of memes on social media about Hollow Knight: Silksong showing up during the event; it’s a game people have wanted to see in one of these showcases for years, but it has never shown up. Ultimately, Indie World Showcases are tough to predict because they are typically curated roundups of intriguing indie games that most people don’t know about. You’ll have a better time watching November 2023’s Indie World Showcase if you go in with low expectations and just look forward to seeing some impressive indies you weren’t aware of before.

Nintendo World Championships turned me into a Super Mario Bros. god

The newly released Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition is all about mastery. The retro microgame collection takes 13 NES classics and breaks them down into bite-sized speedrunning challenges that beg players to replay them over and over to lower their best time. That process all leads to the package's big event, the titular Nintendo World Championships. Every week, players all submit their best times for five specific challenges and fight for a top ranking come Monday morning.

I had no idea how I'd fare against hundreds of thousands of people in the game's first week. While I'd been sharpening my skills during the review period for the game, I still didn't have much confidence that I could make a splash in games like Super Mario Bros. that have been mapped out to perfection already.

Nintendo took to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm that a lengthy Nintendo Direct is just one day away.

With unreleased Nintendo Switch games like Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition and Metroid Prime 4 still on the horizon, we know Nintendo has some important upcoming games it can talk about. There are bound to be some surprises as well, so all Nintendo fans should be tuning in. If you're planning to do just that, we've rounded up all the necessary information you need to know before watching the June 2024 Nintendo Direct.
When is the June 2024 Nintendo Direct?
The June 2024 Nintendo Direct will begin at 7 a.m. PT on Tuesday, June 18. Nintendo says the presentation will last "roughly 40 minutes," so it'll be wrapped up well before 8 a.m. PT.
