As usual, the showcase will go live on Nintendo's official Youtube channel. Fans can watch the live stream when it begins via the video embed above. Now, as to what fans can expect, there are many possibilities. The year 2025 is filled with countless exciting indie launches, many of which are yet to be confirmed for Nintendo Switch consoles; however, we can make educated guesses, speculations and wishes.

This month sees the launch of Sword of the Sea, a relaxing exploration game from ABZU developer Giant Squid, so a surprise Nintendo launch would be nice. On the other hand, Yooka-Replaylee is the upcoming revamped version of the overlooked 2017 spiritual successor to the classic Banjo-Kazooie games, and we could finally get a release date at this Indie World Showcase.

Similarly, a handheld rendition of the upcoming roguelike card game Slay the Spire 2 would make some noise among fans. Lastly, seeing more of the hotly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong game would be a highlight for many fans, given the original's universal acclaim and this sequel's long development time.
