That looks great but for some reason I expect it far away.

I have so many games for the Switch right now (I just bought Splatoon, Slime-san, and Tumbleseed), but the second Stardew Valley comes out I'm probably going to abandon everything and play that for quite a while.
I reeeeeeeeeally hope they give it a release date during this thing.

Really? When did they say this? At Gamescom? I so, I missed that part.
They would need to adapt Unreal Engine 3 to work with Switch as it doesn't support it natively. That would take time.

hopefully there are some release dates for stuff announced as well
I expect this to happen with SteamWorld Dig 2. Would buy it instantly.

Any countdowns/timers for this?

Pretty sure they still don't have switch dev kits.

There's going to be atleast one surprise.
Hopefully one of those 'released shortly after this presentation' surprises. I love those, hasn't happened in a while.

NoE hasn't mentioned it, yeah. I think this presentation is in preparation to PAX West, which is of course an American event. It would be neat if NoE gives this indie presentation a bit marketing support tho by mentioning and streaming it. I doubt that any of the indie games will remain exclusive to the States, considering the Switch is region-free and the submission process has become easier, unlike Wii U.

Praise be to Vita. May your spirit continue to live on in Switch form. Vita is life. Vita is happiness. Vita is almighty.
That's what the PR guy told me the other day. I think this link should work.

Hmmm, I still haven't bought Snipperclips, and I'm going to need it soon (On holiday with my nieces, and I think they'll love it). However, in the past on occasion sales have been announced in Nintendo Directs and other such broadcasts, so probably best postponing for a day or two!

Heh, I didn't read further than 'gaf please suggest a current Indie game on the Switch' lol.
As for adventure games, maybe Kamiko? It's a bit Zelda-esque. I hope that counts as an adventure game.

This.
So if my timezone differences googling is accurate, this'll be on at 3pm tomorrow in the UK. Really hate how Nintendo seem to be positioning their presentations right as I start work.
Isn't it at 6PM UK time?

Correct.
10:00 PDT (UTC -7) -> 13:00 EDT (UTC -4) -> 18:00 BST (UTC +1) -> 19:00 CEST (UTC +2)

I'm mostly impressed we're already getting another Nindie Showcase.

Last showcase was one of the best directs from Nintendo.
There are many game from that presentation that still are not released though, so I expect a date in those first.
I am afraid Hollow Knight will be a 2018 title though

There was some very weird development with AHiT and a British developer that specializes in porting games to Linux and its officially working on a Switch game(s?).
Linky
Note that GfB was hard and fast on shutting down the rumor. But the issue is bizarre nevertheless. As for the developer, their latest Linux project, MXGP3, was announced for Switch recently too.

Rocket League release date is the big thing I'm looking forward to.

Yeah, love it.
Is that even still considered as an indie ?
Indie just means self-published so yeah. Might be too "big" to be shown off here but it wouldn't be out of place if it was.

To refresh our minds and to give us all a nice overview of games from the February Nindie Showcase that still aren't out yet (dates are from the presentation):
Some of these games are confirmed to be delayed. Others most likely get delayed. It's still game development after all and smaller teams are even more vulnerable to delays than big ones.

Snake Pass has already been suggested as a 3D platformer.
How about Bulb Boy as and adventure game? It's a point-and-click adventure (not touch-point-and-click, you walk to the thing you interact with, which makes sense in this game) with a spooky/wacky mood and great art style.
It was great, but one of the reasons was that many expected the Wii U/3DS level of indie support back then. This time everyone knows that the level has been raised.
the Vita died so the Switch could live
Too bad the Vita's spirit couldn't give us the same glorious Dpad.
