Nano Assault Neo will be Japan’s first Wii U eShop indie release

Japan’s Wii U eShop is rather barren at present. A few retail games are up for download as well as the free-to-play Tank! Tank! Tank! version, but it’s lacking original indie content.

Arc System Works will be improving the situation by publishing Nano Assault Neo in Japan. This will be the Japanese store’s first indie Wii U eShop game.

Interestingly, without a Japanese publisher, developers can’t release their games on the 3DS or Wii U eShop.
