Yes i have my eye on a few indie games, The 90's Arcade Racer, Road Redemption and the trailer to Dreamfall Chapters looks interesting.



 

Prodigy works with NFC-figurines and NFC-cards? Sounds expensive. But let's look how that turns out.

You know those games are also announced on Vita and PS4 right?



Too little too late imho. Nintendo have totally misread the market again. Hopefully this will prove a good lesson to them, they need to sort out quite a lot of things before their next console.

I never stated otherwise. In fact, i mentioned it in almost every game description. I misspelled something?

But the last game is exclusive according to gamsutra:

There´s a lot more coming, like

Affordable Space Adventures (Nifflas/Knapnok),
Block Drop (RCMADIAX), Tengami (Nyamyan),
Pier Solar HD (WaterMelon),
Adventure through 8-bit (R&PStudios)
Armillo (Fuzzy Wuzzy Games)
Mad Man Football (AE games)
Shin´en Racing game

Art of Balance (Shin´en)

etc.

This is promising, but still weaker than 3DS´s Eshop indie lineup, where there are some really great games coming every week. Level-5 could bring to the WiiU some of its genius productions...

Unfortunately it seems like its the Vita approach to gaming (and I love my Vita). i.e except for Nintendo games (and not many of them) they are filling the void with some indie games, that are also available elsewhere... just like the poor Vita. It needs more games and more games from Nintendo that are not the norm.

As for my poor Vita... same problem, in fact cant recall the last big 3rd party game for it :(
