Nintendo Reveals Big Plans for Indiecade

I wish there are more games heading the portable's eShop.

Any news about Shovel Knight date?

I'm still waiting on 3DS miiverse news, sounds irrelevant but didn't they say 'soon' at a recent indie event

Great lineup. Would love to see them dump a few short-lived demos on the shop simultaneously. I understand why they don't do as much with E3 demos, but I imagine these indies developers would jump at the chance for exposure.

There are several games I know nothing about, like Grinsia, Siesta Fiesta, Pier Solar, Unepic and Knytt.

Looking forward to see more of Scram Kitty and Armillo.

Looking forward to Scram Kitty, got to play it at E3 and it was a blast

For a second there, I thought Pier Solar HD was already out...=(

I like a lot of indie games - one of the best parts of PS+ for me - but I rarely get excited for them in advance. The more the merrier though.

@sinalefa - Knytt Underground is like a goth version of Toki Tori 2+, bleak, depressing, cursing (which I bet gets edited out) but way too much back tracking.

Lovley. This is what im in this scene for

Needs moar terraria. And FTL. FTL would be a good fit on the 3DS.

Bah, 1001 Spikes had better be coming too the 3DS Eshop still, not just on the Wii U.

@Ernest_The_Crab I want Pier Solar HD as well. (I already have Gunlord for Dreamcast but it is annoying because I only have on RGB scart). Not found a single unity game I have liked yet. (Looked at loads of best of Unity lists and stuff and have found all of them I have tried to be garbage - XNA has far more great stuff).

I think it's fantastic that Nintendo is loosening their iron grip on developers that want to get games on Nintendo systems, if only they would loosen their iron grip on their customers coconuts as well.

And while I've said this before, even if Nintendo can somehow beat PC for indie developers, the sales of the Wii U won't increase because of it. Nobody buys a system to play indie games.

@LinkTheHyrulian Same here. Not so sure about it "coming soon" at a recent indie event, though. It was mentioned a few wks ago Miiverse would be available for 3DS before the end of 2013. Personally, I'll believe it when I see it. Club Nintendo has been down for almost 2 days now; I doubt it has anything to do with that though. Likely just routine maintenance or extending server farms or something.

Shovel Knight

Pier Solar... wasn't that the retro project that wanted to make the last RPG for Mega Drive a few years ago? What happened, did they ever went on to manufacture the cartridges or just chickened out?

YAY SHOVELKNIGHT

@Samurai_Goroh They made them they are sold out though.

They did a set of 3. (Which is now on a PC Compilation since august 6th).

I thought there someone who did a new SNES game but I cannot find any information on it.

Dominant Sky looks like it will be good.

@DarkKirby I would buy a system to play just indie stuff if it was reasonably certain they were only going to be on that system. Be much better if stuff was only on one platform and properly optimised.

@Samurai_Goroh they released it on cartridge. I own it. its a great game.

UnEpic looks great. That's the one I'm getting.

sold for scram kitty! starv for old/new school shootin'

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse... Mmm! We still don't have a release date on this one, eh?

Yeah I'm interested in the indies more than alot of the garbage AAA nonsense devs waste large amounts of cash on... Pier Solar me up yo!

I agree - it is an encouraging lineup. It's nice to see Nintendo acquiescing and letting Indie games have a presence.

OMG! Retro City Rampage is coming to 3DS Eshop!! (Faints) I have wanted that game for sooo long!
