                <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Now I know this isn't my usual territory when it comes to recapping news, but I figure since it was presented like a Nintendo Direct, then it is good enough to be recapped like one. This time Nintendo showcased a ton of indie games that would be coming to the Switch in the coming months; some we already knew about, and some that we weren't expecting. You can see for yourself in the video below.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><iframe width="500" height="281" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/dY8OCBFl1Qg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Now while this isn't especially long for presenting new games, I'm sure a lot of you just want to skim this article for the key bullet points.
