In both 2015 and 2016 there were some really great indy games - a lot were already mentioned, I'll add Shovel Knight, Affordable Space Adventures and SteamWorld Heist. But in 2017, WiiU felt like it was instantly cut from life support, both from Nintendo and other devs.

Agreed. As bad as third party support was on Wii U, Indie games were the one thing that kept the system alive outside of Nintendo. I mean, systems like the N64 and GameCube wish they could've had this kind of support.

Both in shovelware and good stuff, digital distribution helped the Wii U have a far larger library than N64 and a lot bigger than GameCube. As far as retail games in quantity (and probably quality) it still falls well below even N64.
