  6. 14:03Toot Games introduces My Arms Are Longer Now, scheduled for March 11, 2027.

Witchbrook opens with a firm appointment: January 28, 2027. For viewers joking about how long they have waited for the witch-life game, that release date is a substantial announcement before Nintendo's hosts have even introduced themselves.

"Indie World Showcase 10.28.2026" drew roughly 920,000 views in its first 12 hours on Nintendo of America, running far ahead of the channel's usual start. This is Nintendo's own promotional presentation for games coming to Switch and Switch 2, but the discussion is full of specific discoveries: City of None, an apparent abundance of raccoons, and that long-awaited Witchbrook date.

The developers get room alongside the trailers. Noel Berry, a co-creator of Celeste, appears with his brother Liam to introduce City of None, a four-color action-puzzle platformer due in 2027. Sébastien Benard presents Tenjutsu, a martial arts roguelite brawler, while Rias introduces Kitsune: The Journey of Adashino. These aren't simply names flashing past on a release calendar; viewers get to meet some of the people behind them.

There is a more immediate arrival, too: Sword of the Sea is announced for Switch 2 on October 29. Farther into the presentation, Matthew Jackson and Millie Holten of Toot Games introduce My Arms Are Longer Now.

One prominent comment makes the case for treating Indie World as a place to discover smaller games rather than expecting major updates to established favorites. Elsewhere, viewers single out City of None and count the raccoon-themed offerings. For this showcase, even the wildlife has become a talking point.

  • I think people don’t get the point of Indie World. It isn’t the place to announce massive updates to big games, it’s the place for smaller indies to get eyes on them.
