Nintendo kicked off this Gamescom week with a new Nindies Highlights video, announcing several new titles for the Switch and giving us release dates for titles we already knew would be available. All of the games featured in this presentation are playable at Gamescom this week, so if you happen to be in Cologne get ready to have some fun.

I've been waiting for Streets of Rogue, Everspace, and Slay the Spire to appear on the Switch so this is definitely good news. It's a solid collection of indie titles that will keep bolstering Nintendo's place as the best second console choice for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 gamers.
