Nintendo Showcases Upcoming (2014/2015) Wii U & 3DS Nindie Games

Nintendo has made it very clear that their Indie Developers (a.k.a. Nindies) are essentially the new third party developers for their consoles. This makes sense when you consider the decline of traditional third party's who have become overly reliant on annualized sequels which are seeing diminishing returns in recent years. In their continuing effort to support the Nindies, Nintendo has been doing everything from sponsoring Indie Developer conferences to featuring these games on their own website and YouTube channel. Nintendo recently revealed a release schedule for several upcoming Nindie titles and it looks like Wii U & 3DS owners are in for some excellent games. Enjoy!
