@rjejr That's not how it works lol I know that the dev can set the price to anything they want and Nintendo doesn't influence them in any way. The dev probably just gets sent an email with a form to fill out where things like price and such are beeing locked down.
@Mommar They started dev in January this year and I think that the game won't be out till fall/winter , so there is still a lot of time to improve those things.
People hear iOS and immediately think cheap and bad, but that stereotype isn't true for most iOS games. Walking Dead is on iOS, Minecraft is on iOS, Year walk was a really great iOS game that's on steam now, there ARE a lot of quality iOS games that I would love to see on Wii U and this looks like it just might be one of them.
This is the kind of strech goal I don't like to see. The Wii U version was the one I've seen beeing requested the most and now it gets the highest strech goal? What kind of f*ckery is this ?!
@rjejr Unity is a 3D engine, but it's also capable of 2D/2.5D games. I'd think that most of those 50 games will either be 3D or 2.5, but a guy that works for Nintendo in third party stuff said that there has been an overwhelming response for their Nintendo Web Framework, wich is used to build and port HTM5/Javascript games for/to Wii U. Another person on neoGAF said that 50 is just the current number they know of and that there are acually way more games in dev for Wii U. It's practically 70+ games since there are 17 that are in lotcheck right now and will be released within the next two months.
@3MonthBeef 1) More games, more fun, no? 2) Just because you haven't seen it yet doesn't mean that it isn't there. 3) It's called art-style, not cheap dev trick.
@DarkKirby You do know that GDC is short for Game Developer Conference? Why would they show off their own games if they want the devs there to bring their Unity games to Wii U. None of Nintendos games are built in the Unity engine and the people that attend GDC are not consumers, they are devs.
@rjejr No it shoudln't be there. Also, you are twisting my words around, the way you want them. I never said that every small game was an indie game. I even gave you the example of Child of Light, which is published by a major publisher called Ubisoft. It's a FACT that Child of Light was developed by a smaller, inhouse, Ubisoft team on a smaller budget than most of their other games. So, no it's not indie.
@Peach64 Nihilumbra was received really well on iOS, but I kinda agree that they should go more for the 'bigger' indies. Would love to see games like Don't starve, Rogue Legacy or Risk of Rain on Wii U.
@rjejr No that was supposed to be an argument against your "Bound by Flame is getting a retail release as well as DL", so you know that small titles can also get retail releases.
@rjejr "Bound by Flame is getting a retail release as well as DL", well it's not like the same can be said about any third party release last gen lol He probably wanted to say that Bound by Flame is a smaller experience on a lower budget than, say ACIV. Just so you know: Child of Light is also getting a retail release on PS3, PS4 and PC IIRC
@rjejr I don't see why there is a problem with all of them beeing called indie games, because they are all made by independent devs. I also have never heard anyone say that indie games a cheap throwaway apps. And this comes from a person who has had an argument with someone who said that Knack for PS4 is a piece of art and that SM3DW is a doggieoopsiepoopiepoodle game with a low budget.
@rjejr LOL indie is short for independent, so even if a game is shorter, doesn't look as good or doesn't cost as much it's still indie. Yeah, there are the more popular indie games, like Guacamelee and Don't Starve and then there are the smaller indie games that don't get as much attention like Blok Drop U or Spin the bottle: Bumpies partie, but they are still all the same: indie games. Good to see that Dan Adelman is still there. Was a bit worried after he stopped posting on twitter last October or so.
I like the look of this, even though it looks very much like an iOS game. They should reconsider the price point, because I wouldn't buy it for 5$. Will wait for a sale or price drop.
@mamp Do you really think that Nintendo is still thinking "what games could move systems" ? They know that the Wii U is dead in the water, but they still wanna do the best they can. An indie game has never been a system seller for any console, the only games that will sell Wii Us are Nintendos first party offerings.

Re: Review: My First Songs (Wii U eShop)
@rjejr I know, but the rest of your comment sounds like Nintendo made the decision to put it on the eshop and set the pricing, which they don't.

@Maelstrom Look at the video that's linked in the article maybe?
Re: Abyss Will Find the Depths of the Wii U eShop on 1st May
@lividd3ad The game has been in EU lotcheck for some time now, so it should get approved pretty soon. Probably mid-late may release in Europe.

Re: Nintendo Confirms Presentations and Games for GDC 2014
@DarkKirby So what's the problem exactly ?

Re: EnjoyUp Confirms Abyss for the Wii U eShop
2$ seems like a great price point! I'll buy it as soon as it hits the european eshop.
Re: Internal Invasion Blasting Onto the Wii U eShop
I like the look of this, even though it looks very much like an iOS game. They should reconsider the price point, because I wouldn't buy it for 5$. Will wait for a sale or price drop.
Re: Guacamelee: Super Turbo Championship Edition is Wrestling Its Way to the Wii U eShop
