Overall Thoughts
This was hands down an amazing Indie World Showcase done by Nintendo. This showcase had a huge variety of games that almost anyone could look at and have something to look forward to.
Honestly, I was surprised to see Konami back with GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon, OXENFREE getting a sequel, and THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD getting a remake?! This Indie World Showcase has some pretty large announcements in the indie world and it is nice to see that Nintendo is getting some great quality indie titles for the Nintendo Switch in the near future.
