Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Nintendo has announced a new Direct presentation that will showcase new indie games coming to the Switch and Switch 2 consoles.

The Direct, labeled as Indie World, will live stream on Nintendo's official YouTube and Twitch channels Thursday starting at 9 a.m. EDT.

The Indie World title means Nintendo will be highlighting games from independent publishing partners, as opposed to games made and published by Nintendo.

Indie World will run about 15 minutes.
