▶ Indie World Showcase – October 2026 — A roughly ~15 minute presentation including the likes of Witchbrook, Slime Rancher 2, My Arms Are Longer Now (which looks hilarious), and much more. A good showing here I reckon. Nintendo of America // YouTube ▶ Pikmin Day Direct — A surprise Direct landed this weekend, featuring Miyamoto deciding to declare November 1st Pikmin Day, and Miyamoto admiring some knitting. A demo of the Switch 2 version of Pikmin 4 hits the eShop tomorrow, and if you ain’t played it before I’d recommend checking it out, as Pikmin 4 rules. This brief Direct was followed up by a Treehouse presentation.
