As far as what to expect from the presentation, Nintendo hasn't divulged just yet. But we'll be bringing you all the latest news and happenings from Indie World when it hits the internet, so you can look forward to that.

The Switch has always been a very strong platform when it comes to indie games, so it's no surprise to see Nintendo enthusiastically pushing additional independent titles to the platform. This will be the first indie game stream since Nintendo's Nindies Showcase Spring 2019, so there's likely plenty more to talk about this time around. It's intriguing that the branding is being shifted to Indie World, however, as that's the name the company uses in Japan for its typical Nindies Showcase. It's good to see consistency across the brands, at least.

Keep your eyes peeled, and we'll see you on Monday for some fun Nindies, er, Indie World announcements.
