Nintendo: Not a lot of exclusive indie games on Wii U because “we don’t throw around cash”

It depends on the eyes of the beholder. 

I can assure you that Microsoft nor Sony would have given Itagaki two cents for that piece of shit.

Maybe Nintendo needs better scouts.

The idea of securing games is still positive imo.

So now you've joined the group of people who think that Nintendo shouldn't throw around cash. That's at least some progress.

The idea of securing exclusivity for indie games is pretty pointless for consumers, because in almost all cases the games will end up on other platforms eventually. Essentially, such deals with indies are not about paying to add something to a console's library, but rather about paying to keep something away from another console manufacturer's library. Exactly what Microsoft's Tomb Raider deal is for retail games; Microsoft would have got Tomb Raider anyway, so Xbox gamers gained nothing from that investment.

If throw cash means for you securing games like Devils Third, then no. Somebody should hide Nintendos Checkbook.
