Nintendo working to draw indie developers to Wii U
"They don't shout very loudly about it, but they are working hard behind the scenes to make their platforms as welcoming as possible," Dakko Dakko Studio Driector Rhodri Broadbent said. Dakko Dakko's upcoming project, Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails, will be a Wii U exclusive.
Former Rare developer and co-founder of Nyamyam Phil Tossell suggests Nintendo's approach focuses on "quality over quantity ... I think Nintendo are actively seeking indies, but they're looking for quality, experienced developers that they can maybe form a longer term relationship with." Nyamnyam's debut effort, Tengami, will reach the Wii U after launching on iOS.

Cokes This won't increase their profits. If any it will be minimal.
A few more is better than what they have right now.

It may draw a few more people into buying the Wii U if there is a larger libary of games due to indie developers.

J-E-T-S Why doesn't nintendo just calm down and realize the Wii U sucks
Because they have already come so far. The Wii U still has potential as a gaming console.. It just depends what direction they take it in

Ehh really wont help considering the next gen consoles are coming soon if they wanted to get a headstart on the game they should've been doing this last year when they released the Wii-U not now when PS4 and Xbox one are being released no one will buy the games now for it.

Wagering The Wii U could benefit a great deal from this.
I doubt it, not many people own the console so I doubt developers would spend a lot of money creating a game then no-one buys it specially indie developers because they don't have millions to spend making a game for no-one to buy it.
