nintendo_no_japanese_indies

Nintendo is accepting all kinds of indie developers to bring games to Wii U. There is one big exception, however.

A questionnaire coming from GDC flat out states that Nintendo is not accepting submissions from Japanese-based developers. GDC did take place several months ago, but it’s very possible that Nintendo’s policy is still in place.

There are a number of developers in Japan (not to mention Japanese gamers as well) who are understandably upset by Nintendo’s non-acceptance of Japanese indies. Why the policy is in place is currently unclear. Hopefully we’ll get an official comment out of Nintendo soon.
