Nintendo and EMP Museum are teaming up for a special indie event next week. Gaming fans in the Seattle area can attend “Nindies@Night” – a celebration of recently released and upcoming indie games for Wii U and 3DS – on August 27 starting at 8 PM.

A total of 19 indie titles will be playable at Nindies@Night, and many of their creators will be available to answer questions and speak about development experience. Also planned are multiplayer competitions for select games, with finalists taking their skills to the giant 60-foot HD LED screen featured in the EMP Sky Church. Nintendo’s Damon Baker will also hold a presentation in the Sky Church at 9 PM.

Admission to Nindies@Night is free and on a first-come, first-served basis. Those who can’t make it may want to check out Nintendo’s “Nindies” lounge during PAX between August 28 and August 31 in the Sheraton Seattle Hotel. This will also feature several playable Wii U and 3DS indie games with developers in attendance from 12 PM to 8 PM between August 28 and August 30 and 12 PM to 6 PM on August 31.

The Castle Game was announced nearly a year ago – August 2014. We haven’t heard about it much since, but we do know that it remains in the works.

Neptune Interactive’s Ayngaran Vamatheva reconfirmed to Toronto GameDevs that The Castle Game remains on track for Wii U. However, it’s been put on the back burner while the team focuses on the PlayStation 4 version. Vamatheva said that Neptune Interactive will likely be returning to development of the Wii U version for release in 2016.

He said:

“We’ve put a pause on it in order to get the PS4 version out. We’ll probably get back to it to release for next year. It is a fun console, especially with the second screen. I’d love to take advantage of it for our game, but it is not as straightforward as it might seem.”

There are still many outfits in Super Mario Maker that we haven’t seen as of yet. I imagine plenty more will come in before the game launches next month.

Thanks to SegadoeswhatNintendon’t for the tip.
