Nintendo Switch 2 Sales Surge Ahead of Indie Showcase

Nintendo will host a 15-minute Indie World Showcase livestream on August 7, 2025, focusing on upcoming indie games for both the original Switch and the Switch 2. While fans hope for updates on titles like Hollow Knight: Silksong and Hades 2, sources indicate Silksong may not be featured, continuing a pattern of disappointment. Since launching in June, the Switch 2 has sold nearly six million units, with stock now stable at major US and UK retailers. New bundles, including Mario Kart World and Pokémon Legends A-Z, are either available or forthcoming. Recent price increases for older Switch models have brought their cost close to the Switch 2’s $449 price, raising questions about Nintendo's pricing strategy. The showcase highlights Nintendo’s commitment to indie games as anticipation grows for major first-party releases.
