ONI: The path to be the most powerful Oni it’s heavily inspired by Japanese folklore, and it shows. Throughout the 3D action game, you play as Kuuta, an impossibly cute demon warrior looking to defeat even older demons.

Kuuta also joins forces with Kazemaru, who you can simultaneously control with a single Joy-Con controller. ONI doesn’t seem like my thing necessarily, but his colorful nature and the fact that Kuuta looks like an angry, horned Wooper won me over.

You may be thinking that there are many games. Well, there is still more. Pepper mill is an action-adventure title where you use your Grinder to take on the role of a spicy treasure hunter. So there is also once upon a time there was a jesterwhich looks like a pretty wacky fantasy adventure that follows two friends who are up to no good.

we will also be watching encryption, the perfect combination of roguelikes, decks and psychological horror, is coming to Nintendo Switch in December. Joining will also be Wobbledogs Console Edition in November, which is some sort of pet simulation title that seems strange, albeit satisfying. On top of that, there’s Desta: The Memories Between making its console debut, which is a character-driven roguelike with…a metaphorical ballgame involved. Interesting.

In May, wrestling It’s also coming to handheld, allowing gamers to live out the dream of professional wrestling. And for those who wish to revive a story that doesn’t involve professional wrestling, there is Storyteller arriving in March. This puzzle has players telling their own stories, from Shakespearean tragedies to supernatural fantasies.

Looking ahead to the summer of 2023 now, HORROR WORLD It’s coming to Switch. This is a 1-bit roguelite RPG that, as the name suggests, is full of horror and inspired by Japanese folklore. Now finally, perhaps one of the most epic games coming to Nintendo is Curse of the Sea Rats. This hand-drawn adventure follows a group of rambunctious rats and is what could be called a ‘ratoidvania’.

That’s (finally) it for Nintendo Indie World. Which games caught your attention and which ones excite you the most? For me Sports Story, Aka, GOODBYE WORLD and Blanc are must buys.
