Last February, Nintendo announced 17 games for its "Nindies" Switch showcase, hinting that more titles would be available in the next months. IGN reported that some of the games in the list were already released on different platforms like "Yooka-Laylee" and "Stardew Valley." Artworks of the upcoming indie games for 2017 were also revealed during the event.
However, of those 17 titles previously teased of in February, only six have reportedly been introduced in the system. Some players looked forward to hearing about titles like "Shakedown: Hawaii," "Runner3" and "Dandara" again but there were no news of them in the recent showcase. Several of those revealed were new titles.
A Nindies@Night showcase will still be held on Aug. 31 at 8:30 p.m. PDT (11 p.m. EDT), while gamers will also get to try the Nindies Arcade that will be run during the upcoming PAX West convention that will be held on Sept. 1 to 4 so there may be news of those by then.
For those who are expecting updates on Switch for "Super Mario Odyssey," "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" and "FIFA 18," no mention was made of them in the recent showcase. However, these titles may be part of the next updates set for the fall and early 2018.
