People are caring more and more these days, but indie still remains a much smaller sector than even the mid teir publisher industry. Games like Shovel Knight, Binding of Isaac, Ori and the Blind Forest, etc have shown that people are more and more willing consider indie games a significant part of their gaming experience though.

Honestly, I think Nintendo would be wise to try and move this growth along. A physical publication program may be wise, releasing select indies of sufficient substance and quality physically. Snake Pass, FAST RMX, and Runner 3 could be good options, assuming the substance is there. If it is they are big enough, Blaster Master Zero and SteamWorld Dig 2 could get the treatment as well (perhaps port and bundle in SteamWorld Dig with SteamWorld Dig 2?).
