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.

KatsumiTTG_Semper-Fi I feel kinda bad for Nintendo because of all there failure..
Nintendo is still a huge company pulling a solid profit so i don't really see a reason to feel sorry for them.. They have the 3DS which is doing pretty well
But there newest tech is a massive flop.

AngelBeatsFan Lol as much as I love indie, on the Wii U it wouldn't be a great fit.
I wouldn't mind if indie developers actually release good games for the console, they are really limit by the hardware though

It's adding something great to something bad.

There is great potential for indie games on the controller because of the game pad. Hope it works out.

GinoBANGZ Oh well... yet another money hunter company.
They gave away Wii U devkits, not like Sony "lending" them. I don't understand how ignorant this community is.
