Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Polygon recently caught up with Nintendo’s Damon Baker for a chat about all things indie. Baker talked about how the company doesn’t tend to buy exclusives, its openness to multiplatform titles, and more.
You’ll find a summary of what was shared below. Head on over here for the full discussion.
On how Nintendo as a whole has responded well to the different Nindie initiatives…
“Fortunately, the company has been really receptive of it. They’ve embraced the opportunities that we’ve presented to them, and they see the justification.”
On how Nintendo has been supporting indies for a long time, even though the company doesn’t always get the headlines for it…
“I think the other platforms have come out there, and they’ve done a really good job of amplifying their independent support message, and they’ve gained a lot of traction and a lot of visibility for that.”
“I think we’ve stuck to our strategy for some time. We were the first console to promote self-publishing and to allow it on our platforms. And that was going back to the WiiWare and the DSiWare days.”

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, New Nintendo 3DS, News | 2 Comments
RCMADIAX has been known for its work on Wii U. But in 2016, the studio plans on adding the New 3DS as one of its supported platforms.
RCMADIAX stated the following earlier today:
We are pleased to announce that New #Nintendo3DS will be joining our list of supported platforms in 2016! #Nindies pic.twitter.com/nEp8g6IXuL
— RCMADIAX (@rcmadiax) August 27, 2015
There is one thing to keep in mind about today’s news. RCMADIAX games on New 3DS is probably a long ways off, as we won’t be seeing anything until Q4 2016 at the earliest.
@curbles Too early to talk specifics, earliest anything would be available is likely Q4 2016.
