Knew I'd get someone saying something like this.  Happens whenever you say something about a developer, but since I only vaguely recalled the name WayForward I stand by the idea that Happy had more than likely not heard of the two names before today.  Could be untrue but since Khan doesn't recognize who Avalanche is I don't think it's a stretch to say that WayForward is less of a known than Avalanche and therefore it's plausible if not likely that any random person hadn't heard of WayForward.  

The first indie dev in OP isn't named so it'll be hard for you to judge.

Wayforward does ring a bell, but I didn't realize they made Shantae and MSF until now, I should have known since I visited the eshop on a number of occasions in the past. Ultimately, I trust the makers of Shantae, MSF and other Nintendo-friendly indie games more than Avalanche, we have heard too much stuff regarding non-friendly devs that bash Nintendo at any occasion and the mainstream media is ridden with it.

I really believe that things like that don't just happen out of the blue. There must be something that Nintendo does differently for that to happen.
