Forums - Gaming - Remember all those indie games Nintendo supposedly secured?

A lot of you guys are missing the point. The issue isn't that we aren't ever going to get any indie games. The issue is that every single one of those games was originally supposed to be out by the end of March, but every one has been delayed, which is bullshit. If it was just a small handful of indies, it would be understandable. Quality first, but not when that's the issue with 90% of the games coming out.

The indie devs didn't fully anticipate the length of time it takes for Nintendo for testing. I've been keeping up with a few devs and their submission process. Moon Chronicles was submitted at the end of March i believe, and Swords and Soldiers HD was submitted a couple days ago. From what I gather, its one or two weeks before they send back confirmation.

I don't think he understands what "indie" means.

No - if it was a few here and there then it is an individual indy issue - but when it is nearly all of them then logic and objectivity saysis a systematic issue -   The bottleneck is prob Nintendo - why would tat surprise anyone - even the biggest of fanboys?

The bottleneck comes from the developers. In their excitement to be among the first games on new platforms,  they've set aggressive ship dates they couldn't meet.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

im glad they are not around I hate indy games lol.

Why's that? More games are a good thing.

no physical media no buy. NIntendo shoudl fricken get smart and release compilation discs best of 2013 best of 2014. Then give majority of the profits to the indies.

Wow. You're not going to be a gamer for much longer then eh? Physical media is slowly on it's way out. Major numbers of sales are happening digitally. As long as you stick with PS4 or Wii U then you can keep all the games on HD's if you are really worried about it. 

I don't mind the idea of the best of compilation, but who is going to publish it? It's a bit of a risk and there is loads of cost to go with publishing and distrobuting a format. 

I felt similar to you, but I decided to buy a 2 TB HD for my Wii U and back it up. I also have the deluxe digital promotion and there are tons of sales happening on the eshop so I get 10% back even on the titles already for sale so they end up being cheaper than actually purchasing them at the store in the most case. But that's just me. 



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

As long as 90s Arcade Racer, FAST Racing Neo, and Art of Balance are still coming, I'm happy.



maybe they are waiting for a hardware boost from MK8?

but good question, where are them?
