| justiceiro said: I see some people saying that nintendo are no recieving as much port of indies as sony and microsoft, i argue that i see more indies games lefting xbox one aside in favor of PS4 and WiiU almost exclusively, because of the parity clause. Olli and Olli was ps exclusive, now is on 3DS and WiiU. Octodad was PS4 exclusive, now its on WiiU. Never alone is here too, so is Trine games. Telltales will start releasing games on it with the minecraft games. Sierra alreadly released one and have more plans for it in the future. Maybe the biggest omission are minecraft, bastion/transistor, and fez. There are some other games that didn't came around because techinical limitations, like outlast, but even slend the arrival got a port, so the genre was not the real problem, i think. Others relate at the lack of support of some engine for 3DS specially, like unity.

Nice post! I haven't read the whole thread, but I see you've covered somethings I'd have said.
Nintendo has been doing its Nindies promotions since last year, Nindies@Home at E3 or just last week we had the Nindies@PAX. And this generation both Dan Adelman and Damon Baker have done pretty well in the indie digital market with the eShop offering more exposure than the previous Wii/DSi shops.
