In North America and Europe, Nintendo has had more and more of an indie presence over the past few years. But in Japan, you don’t really hear too much about what’s happening there.

There’s a reason for that. Until recently, Nintendo was pretty closed off in Japan. That’s starting to change with the introduction of the Nintendo Developer Portal. It’s now easier than ever for indie developers to put their games on Nintendo systems regardless of region.

In a recent issue of Famitsu, the magazine spoke with Nintendo about its indie initivates in Japan during a brief interview. Here’s a translation between the two sides:

One of the big new releases in Japan this week was Etrian Odyssey V. On Thursday, Atlus finally brought out the 3DS title.

Etrian Odyssey V’s launch was accompanied by a review in Famitsu. From four editors, it earned scores of “8”, “9”, “9”, and “9”. Adding it all up, that’s 35 out of 40.
