Nintendo unveiled 17 new Switch titles at Indie World, with two games unexpectedly released as Shadow Drops

Two unexpected Shadow Drops

Two games were released for the Nintendo Switch without prior notice as part of Indie World. In the puzzle game Stich, previously available for iOS devices, players have to complete an embroidery hoop without leaving any gaps. The game offers 50 different embroidery patterns and a free embroidery mode.

The second Shadow Drop is Sticky Business which has already been released for PC, but is Switch-exclusive, at least among consoles. In this simulation, players are put in charge of an online sticker store and have to design and sell their own stickers - including shipping, customer service and everything that goes with it.

Two new demo versions

In addition to the two Shadow Drops, Switch players also had the opportunity to try two new demo versions. Antonblast, set to be released on November 12 for Nintendo Switch and PC, is a platformer where players use dynamite and other explosives to overcome obstacles.

Europa is set to be released later this year for the Switch, PS4/PS5, Xbox, and PC. It's a 3D platformer in which players, as a young boy equipped with a jetpack, explore the Jupiter moon Europa and solve various puzzles.

13 further releases in the course of the year
