Today, Nintendo announced plans to sponsor a new exhibit at Seattle’s EMP Museum. EMP’s Indie Game Revolution Sponsored by Nintendo exhibit begins on November 8, “and aims to explore how the independent game developer community is pushing past conventional boundaries and expanding the definition and cultural impact of this fast-growing medium.”

Those who attend Indie Game Revolution will find playable versions of titles made by independent developers throughout the past year. Shovel Knight and The Swapper – both playable on Wii U – will be featured for the exhibit’s opening next month. Other titles from Nintendo will be included in the museum’s video game programming going forward.

David Wharton, Nintendo of America’s director of Network Business Marketing, commented on today’s news:

“Nintendo’s commitment to supporting games from independent developers has never been stronger. EMP Museum is not only a wonderful venue to showcase this content, but also to dig deeper into the ways creative designers with great ideas continue to deliver their games to the public.”

Patty Isacson Sabee, CEO + Director, EMP Museum, also stated:

“EMP is extremely pleased and excited by Nintendo’s sponsorship of our upcoming exhibition. Indie Game Revolution represents some of the most innovative and creative work in video games and we’re thrilled to see Nintendo’s continued support of the independent game development community.”

Stolen Couch Games hasn’t given up on the idea of bringing Castaway Paradise to Wii U. The developer will “still consider” its game for Nintendo’s console, though the mobile release is the focus for now. Stolen Couch’s Arthur Koopmans told us that “there is no reason why we shouldn’t bring the game to Wii U.”

Castaway Paradise’s launch is just on the horizon, as it will hit iOS platforms tomorrow. We’ll let you if Stolen Couch Games shares any specific plans in the future about bringing the game to Wii U.

FuRyu updated the official website for The Legend of Legacy with new story details. You can find them all below (courtesy of Siliconera’s translation).

– A number of people went in search of a legend, which caused the continent of Avalon to reawaken
– Unknown whether there will be stairs that lead to paradise or a door that leads to the abyss
– Game focuses on the truth about what was left behind by the old gods
– A mysterious island suddenly surfaced in the distant northern sea 10 years prior
– Legends say that this place was once called Avalon
– This was a place that had a country where the gods once lived and prospered
– Since then, many adventurers and researchers have gone to explore the island
– Because of Avalon’s peculiar landform and monsters, research and exploration haven’t gone far
– Early explorers say they saw “spirits” in Avalon
– These spirits can’t normally be seen by humans, but are plainly visible on this island for some unknown reason
– One theory suggests that this is so because of the “inherited” power left behind by the gods
– The different parts of Avalon have numerous tools and buildings left behind, which one wouldn’t expect to see in a regular civilization
– One Avalon legend revolves around the “Star Graal” (grail)
– The Star Graal is one of the properties left behind by the gods that is said to grant “eternity” to its owner
– This is speculated to be the secret to immortality
– Rumors about Star Graal are one of the reasons why adventurers have traveled to Avalon, in hopes of amassing riches from the grail
– No one has seen the Star Graal thus far
– The town of Initium is located on the south end of Avalon
– Initium is currently its only town
– It’s the home base for adventurers that seek various legends, and many adventurers travel here day and night
– The lord who lives in a building on top of the hill was the first person to discover Avalon island
– He is a self-proclaimed “Adventure King”
– It took him ten years to build the town of Initium
