Indie World: Nintendo’s project to promote indie games in Japan
Last week, Nintendo launched Indie World in Japan: it’s a project aimed at promoting downloadable games, and more specifically those from independent developers. There’s a News channel on Nintendo Switch, a special portal on the official Nintendo website (complete with an official Twitter account), but also Nintendo Direct-like presentations.
In fact, the first Indie World presentation is already available:
