Nintendo has officially confirmed aNintendo Directbroadcast for Tuesday, August 27 featuring a back-to-back combo of Partner Showcase and Indie World events.
“Join us on August 27 at 7am PT for an Indie World Showcase followed by a Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase! The livestream, featuring both presentations back-to-back, will be roughly 40 minutes in total,” the company says in a press release. That time translates to 10am ET / 3pm BST. You’ll be able to see the broadcast onYouTube, or you can just bookmark this page and check out the embed below when the time comes.
Partner Directs typically focus on third-party Switch titles, though Nintendo has been known to sneak a lower-key first-party game or two into these presentations, as was the case earlier this year with the announcement of Endless Ocean Luminous. The ranks ofupcoming Switch gamesinclude a few notable names from frequent Nintendo Direct guests, likeSquare Enix’s Dragon Quest 3 Remake, which could reasonably make an appearance here.
The contents of an Indie World are pretty self-explanatory and, well, look. I won’t tell you not to get your hopes up forHollow Knight Silksonghere. Just remember what happened last time. And the time before that. And the time before that.
Even as the console starts getting long in the tooth, the ranks of thebest Switch gamesalready make up one of the greatest console libraries of all time.
