No they will not.

-The PS4 has better indie support
-Xbox fans don't like indie games
-WiiU fans all have high end PC's, where even more indies are.

So no gamer in his right mind would buy a WiiU for indie games.


This XD


is a lot of generalizations.

I don't think independent titles are going to sway that many consumers. The indie games on Wii U, Vita, and soon to be on PS4 will, in most cases, also be available on PC or iOS. I think the bigger selling point for Wii U, and you identify it in your OP, is the Virtual Console. Neither Sony nor Microsoft have anything close to the collection Nintendo can upload to its eShop. I think a single console that plays Kid Icarus, Super Mario Bros., Mega Man 2, Super Metroid, Earthbound, Street Fighter II, Harvest Moon, Final Fight, plus the entire Wii and Wii U libraries, is something special.

Honestly, WiiU would prolly fly off the shelf if Nintendo managed to message this clearly this holiday -IF XD



You guys do know that Nintendo has exclusive Indie games on their systems and even more with exclusive features on it right?

Also Joe that list is Incomplete you're missing about 95 games.

Nintendo's Indie support is almost better than Sony's actually. They just dont talk about it. Sony does. Infact it was Nintendo who moved Sony to do anything about Indies.

Shit some of the games on there are even better than some retail games. Like Steamworld Dig on the E-Shop



Is Wii Street U a sweet game?



Around the Network

Wii Street U is a service google developed



Nintendo sure have been getting a lot of Indie love lately.....good for them :)



Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

I just went off icons from Nintendo's wii u website so that everything would be formatted correctly. Spent like 2 minutes on the thread hence the missing games and inclusion of non indie games.



as with vita...

..indies will keep the owners of the console busy and happy but won't sway any new customers.



Well, it won't bring the console to victory, but will give people who already own the console something to do.
