Nintendo aired a brief livestream today dedicated to indie games coming to Switch in the next few months, and there are a lot of them.
The biggest news in the 15 minute presentation was that popular murder mystery party game Among Us is coming out on Switch later today. Developer Derek Yu of Mossmouth also announced that Spelunky 1 and 2 will be getting Switch ports next summer.
Beyond that, Nintendo dropped a bunch of vague launch windows for other indie games coming to the platform. The company kicked off the show by noting that due to the ongoing pandemic, all release dates are still subject to change. It’s been a weird year release-wise for Nintendo, and that trend seems to be continuing into 2021, at least in the near-term.
Here’s the rest of what we saw during today’s showcase:
- Calico - a relaxing game about running a cat cafe (out today).
