Nintendo has announced that the next Indie World Showcase event is coming up very soon. Like, so soon that we're only a few hours away from it. The next broadcast will take place today, August 11, beginning at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. You can expect to hear at least a few of those little "click" sound effects when they show a new game.
The event is about 20 minutes long and it will have "information on upcoming indie games" that are in the works for Nintendo Switch. Nintendo did not provide any insight on specific games that will be featured on the show.
