That brings it to about a couple dozen announcements. In a nutshell, there is something for every kind of player here. Some of these are minor DLC updates for current games, such as Cult of the Lamb. They should still offer players ample reason to revisit these titles.

For example, fans of roguelike games on Nintendo Switch should not give Brotato a miss. Meanwhile, PlateUp! adds the Overcooked gameplay to the randomized formula. Unfortunately, much-awaited indie releases like Hollow Knight: Silksong and Hades 2 are still nowhere to be seen.

While that is disappointing, Nintendo is known to host a handful of Indie World showcases every year. Since we have just begun with 2023, fans can expect to look forward to more indie goodness with future events.
