That reads like the reason why Nintendo says "no" to Japanese indies.

I agree.

Tokyo Jungle was considered one of the best indie games? I am confused.

Are we talking about it being indie or it being one of the best indie games?  Because Eurogamer.net gave the game a 9/10 so the article is probably just using that as a qualifier for "one of the best".  http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-09-24-tokyo-jungle-review
