As Nintendo loves to do, the Mario company hosted a Direct presentation at the crack of dawn this morning. The Indie World Showcase presentation showed off several independent games coming to Switch and Switch 2 in the coming months. If you couldn’t watch the show live you can watch it below. If you just want the highlights, read on.
Denshattack!
Kicking off the show is Denshattack!, the upcoming extreme public transit game in which you do sick stunts while driving a train car on just about every surface you can imagine, like it were a Sonic game. The game is coming out on June 17 and a demo is available today. The Switch 2 version will have an exclusive skin for the train you won’t find on other platforms.
My Little Puppy
For all my fellow dog lovers, My Little Puppy is an adventure game about a dog in the afterlife seeking out his owner who has finally arrived. It’s coming on May 29, and I will probably cry when I play it.
