Nintendo’s getting a jump start on the summer video game announcement season with its Indie World showcase event. Earlier this year, Nintendo put on its first Direct showcase, announcing a remaster of Epic Mickey, a sequel to Endless Ocean, and that a couple of Xbox exclusives — Grounded and Pentiment — would be arriving on the Switch. As with every Nintendo showcase announcement since checks watch 2019, rumors are swirling that this Indie World will finally be the one in which we get a release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong. And though we’ve been disappointed before, there’s a chance this time will be different. Silksong has recently received ratings in South Korea and Australia, while Xbox has finally allowed players to wishlist the game.

Now get ready for the Nintendo...Stitch!Stitch is an embroidery game that challenges players to thread together all kinds of interesting embroidery puzzles. It’s like paint-by-numbers with thread, with increasing levels of difficulty and complexity. It’s a neat concept that reminds me a bit of the comfort of playing A Little To The Left.
Though Stitch is already out on Apple Arcade, it will make its Switch debut sometime today.

April showers bring May meow-ers.Little Kitty, Big City was one of the cuter games on display at this year’s GDC and during today’s Indie World showcase.

Is the Silksong release date in the room with us right now?There’s a new Indie World showcase for tomorrow, at 10 A.M. ET. The last Nintendo event — which was a full Direct back in February — was a bit of a nothing burger unless you considered Grounded and Pentiment going multiplatform an extinction level event. This showcase though, might have some substance with the recent news that Hollow Knight: Silksong has been rated in Australia.
