Everything From Nintendo's March 3rd Indie World Direct

A new Nintendo presentation concluded earlier and... it's an Indie Showcase. Yeah, those tend to have already known titles, whether in the form of games that are already out on other platforms or simply updates to already confirmed ones, and not contain that many massive announcements. While most people were hoping for a proper Direct, there can still be some fun stuff in these Showcases.

We're going to have the name of the game, platform (including non-Nintendo ones), and release dates in the title. No date means we don't have one, and the game is coming out in the future. But enough yapping, and let's get into the games!

Denshattack! - Steam, PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2 - June 17th

A fast-paced platformer where you play as a... tram cabin?! Jump, grind, and fight massive bosses as you try to get to the end of the level. The tram is customizable, so you can make it look however you like. Demo available.

My Little Puppy - Steam, Console

It is said that, when you die, your dog will be there to welcome you. My Little Puppy takes that premise, and puts you in the shoes of a doggy in the afterlife that felt the scent of their owner, and is now trying to get to them. Yes, you will cry.

Rotwood - Steam, Switch 2 - Out Now

From the creators of the Don't Starve games and Mark of the Ninja, comes a beat-em-up roguelike game with a colorful art-style. Team up with up to 4 other players and smash your way to victory!

The Midnight Walk - Switch 2 (March 26), Steam, PS5 (Out Now)

Heave Ho 2 - Steam, Switch - Summer 2026

Woodo - Steam, Switch 1 & 2

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault - Steam, PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2 (out in Early Access)
