On March 17, 2020, Nintendo held an Indie World Showcase. The online event was a stream that showcased all of the indie games coming to Nintendo Switch over the course of 2020. Read on for a complete roundup of the games that were mentioned.
Exit the Gungeon
The sequel to Enter the Gungeon is a highly-anticipated game, but Switch fans didn’t have long to wait. The game launched for Nintendo’s hybrid console yesterday after the stream, bringing more weapon-changing action to players as they attempt to escape the Gungeon via elevators.
The Last Campfire
Hello Games’ new title is called The Last Campfire, and launches in summer 2020. While the developer is best known for their expansive space MMO, this new game is far smaller in scope. Players take on the role of a character seeking to recover the lost embers of a darkened world, bringing hope where it can no longer be found.
Blue Fire
Blue Fire comes from developer Robi Studios. Players are tasked with exploring a long lost kingdom, uncovering secrets that have been forgotten for generations. The game will launch as a timed exclusive for Nintendo Switch in summer 2020.
Baldo

I Am Dead
From developer Hollow Ponds, I Am Dead is an intriguing puzzle adventure game that allows players to use ghostly powers to solve mysteries within a world that is controlled by someone who is dead. The game will launch as a timed Switch exclusive in 2020.
B.ARK
From developer Tic Toc Games, B.ARK is a side-scrolling shooter in which players take on the role of animals saving the solar system. The game is made for multiplayer, and will be a hit with groups of friends when it launches as a timed Switch exclusive in late 2020.

Moving Out
