Unfortunately, Nintendo is gonna release something like Pushmo again, promote it a lot, and let it sit confortably at #1 and then the rest of them indie devs rage.

The top 2 best selling games on the Wii U eshop come from indie games that have nothing to do with Nintendo. I don't see why the indie devs should rage.

Trine 2 and such are not indie games.  Neither in Zen Pinall 2.

If Trine 2 is not an indie then what is? Quote taken from Wikipedia: " According to Frozenbyte's sales and marketing manager Mikael Haveri, Nintendo's initial approach and close contact with their company helped support the process of releasing the game for Wii U, and subsequently made it Frozenbyte's first self-published title without the interference of Altus, the game's publisher for other platforms." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trine_2

Being self published makes it an indie game.

I guess games like Skyrim are indie games too using that logic...

Then what is an indie game?
