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

Not alot of Indie games altogether on WiiU is there? PSN and ID@Xbox seem to be doing a better job, despite lots of indies being a good fit for the Wii U userbase.

I'd say it's down to much bigger userbases of PS4/X1, and ease of porting to those from PC.

Name me one big indie game that is missing on the Wii U? (besides Minecraft, can we still call this indie?)

It's getting Yooka-Laylee, Mighty No. 9, Bloodstained, Shantae: Half Genie Hero and Minecraft: Story Mode. Pretty much all of the big upcoming console indie games.

A quick look at the Wikipedia lists for PS4 throws up loads of released or upcoming indie games that mention nothing about the Wii U.

A few big hitters (VERY dependent on how you define 'indie') and lesser known titles I'm personally looking forward to:

Project CARS

The Witcher 3

No Man's Sky

WiLD

The Witness

Outlast

Unravel

Adr1ft

Shenmue 3

All Telltale games

Ori and the blind forest

Flower

Journey

Abzu

DayZ

Volume

The Tomorrow children 

Rime

Soma

The Forest

Habitat

Redout

Radial G

Formula fusion

The list goes on a bit more.

I can't say I know of a Wii U exclusive indie game that I would like, but I'm not well informed on the Wii U library so there well may be one or more games.
