They have a continuing relationship with mojang? Since when?

Nintendo feels it doesn't need to make big announcements when it works with a developer. I think the number of indie games in development still outnumber the ones for ps4 yet almost none were proudly championed. 

Proof?

Checking wikipedia, it say 78 downloadable titles, about 9 titles are by major developers/publisher, and 16 indie titles are released. So 53 indies. In addiion, there are a few more the wikipedia doesn't list like Road Redemption.

PS4 had 17 announced from Gamescom and I count 15 from E3. so 32 indie titles. 37 titles if you count codeveloped ones with Sony if I recall correctly (unfortunately, there isn't an aggregated list I can find but of the ones announced for PS4, it shouldn't be much higher).

And whereas all these indie titles on PS4 were discussed at either their E3 conference or Gamescom conference, the ones for Wii U were at most listed on a sign at their booth at E3 except for the ones shown in the E3 Nintendo Direct. A couple I think are at Nintendo's PAX booth too but that might just be some indie 3DS games.
