CHRISTMAS is only two weeks away, and Nintendo has announced a raft of new games ahead of the holiday season.
The Japanese gaming giant held a showcase event focused entirely on the Switch’s upcoming indie games those made by small development teams on a shoestring budget.
Don’t let their small scale put you off though: Some of the Switch’s best games have been Indie titles, such as bonkers footy simulator Rocket League and slow-mo shooter Superhot.
Here’s what Nintendo has to offer over the next few months.
Dauntless available on Switch
Nintendo launched free-to-play game Dauntless on Switch on December 10.
The RPG sees you battle ferocious Behemoths and craft powerful weapons and armour.

The Talos Principle is a first-person puzzle adventure game and it’s out on Switch now.
