Nintendo's relationship with Indie developers and smaller studios has been around for a while, although, since the NES era it has primarily been on their handhelds up until the Wii when an explosion of indie titles and smaller studio titles made their way onto home console. So, and Wii U continued that trend, but in the Switch era it has reached unprecedented levels.

Shantae, which was a landmark title in this regard, was almost 20 years ago.

Anyway, the thread starter is afflicted with a classic case of confirmation bias.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
