This statement doesn't exclude what Avalanche said.  It's quite possible that for them Nintendo have been difficult to get in contact with; but for a smaller team it has been a different experience.

Especially since the first line is "We are a tiny indie dev".  Quite the opposite of the 200+ team that Avalanche are.

Falls in lin with the eShop push that we've been hearing about recently, pretty much.

Possible, but how would Nintendo not try to help bigger devs if they're ready to bend over backwards for small ones (per article in OP).

It makes no lick of sense to me...

Thing is, there are devlopers out there that "hate" Microsoft, others "hate" Nintendo and yet others "hate" Sony.  It could simply be that they didn't want to work with Nintendo.  The other thing to look at is Indie developers are gettign a bit spoiled with the huge Android and iOS base out there.  10 years ago, most of these developers would have jumped at the chance to release a game for a system with a 3m user base.  Now they look at the mobile base that's in the 100's of millions.
