Nintendo goes indie
Wired.com’s Game|Life has an interesting report from DICE about Nintendo’s intentions to support independent gaming on both Wii and DSi.
Nintendo’s director of project development, Tom Prata, accepted that Nintendo could potentially have issues in that department - particularly on Wii given its lack of storage space - but it’s evident that the big N is seeing how well games like Flower and Noby Noby Boy are working on rival hardware and wants a piece of that critically-acclaimed pie.
Nintendo, of course, has its own figurehead for indie gaming on Wii, and 2D Boy’s Kyle Gabler was introduced to talk about World of Goo. Nintendo would be wise to throw a bit of money to keep the two-man devteam working on titles for its consoles, though it’s heartening to see it taking steps in this direction - especially as it recently seems to have focused on commercial success over genuine gaming innovation. Though that would be to ignore some of the smaller-scale, more experimental titles like Skip’s Art Style series, which runs across both Nintendo’s download services - for my money one of the most exciting developments in Nintendo gaming since the Wii’s launch.
