Nintendo is holding another Indie World Showcase today, October 28, 2026. The livestream should give players a new look at the company’s indie slate heading into the holiday season. It starts at 2:00 p.m. in the UK, 7:00 a.m. PT, and 10:00 a.m. ET. In much of Western Europe, that puts it at 3:00 p.m.; in Japan, 11:00 p.m. Australia and New Zealand will be getting it early on October 29.
The Western broadcast is expected to run about 15 minutes. Nintendo Japan’s version is closer to 25, and Nintendo hasn’t said why there’s a gap.
Nintendo hasn’t confirmed any games yet, but the usual guesses are already circulating: upcoming indie releases, more talk around Witchbrook, that long-awaited Katana Zero DLC, a surprise launch or two, and maybe some games that are headed to both Switch and Switch 2.
If you keep up with Switch indies, this is probably one to watch.
The showcase lands after March 2026’s event and just ahead of Nintendo’s holiday push, with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake leading the way. Indie games still matter a lot in that stretch. They fill the quieter spaces between first-party releases, and as the broader market keeps getting bigger, more breakout sellers are coming from indies anyway.
You can watch the Nintendo Indie World Showcase live on Nintendo’s official YouTube and Twitch channels, or just catch the replay shortly after.
