Nintendo Indie World Showcase March 3: Start Time, How To Watch, And What To Expect

We're only in the third month of 2026, but Nintendo has been busy with video showcases, announcing its fourth presentation of the year. Nintendo is streaming another Indie World Showcase on Tuesday, March 3, announcing on social media that it will share "roughly 15 minutes of news and updates on indie games coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch."

This will be Nintendo's second indie game presentation after the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, with the previous one streaming in August 2025. Here's how and when to watch the next Indie World Showcase.

What To Expect​


As always, Nintendo shared little to no details on what specific titles to expect at the next Indie World Showcase. After Directs focusing on The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, Nintendo showcased several third-party titles in a February Partner Showcase. It's possible that some titles from smaller teams or independent studios that didn't appear in that presentation could make an appearance in the Indie World Showcase.

The August 2025 Indie World Showcase included games such as Ball x Pit, Mina the Hollower, and Ultimate Sheep Raccoon. There were also announcements of ports for UFO 50 and Content Warning, along with an update for Little Kitty, Big City.

As for this week's upcoming announcements, we could only speculate on what Nintendo has lined up. Perhaps we'll get updates on the new release window for Witchbrook or get a proper look at the announced DLC for Hollow Knight: Silksong. Maybe Switch 2 owners can look forward to ports of popular games on other platforms like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (which is technically an indie game). Your guess is as good as ours.
