Nintendo to Support Indies on the Wii?
The official Nintendo Wii website states the following about the Wii’s Virtual Console feature:
[The Virtual Console] also will be home to new games conceived by indie developers whose creativity is larger than their budgets.
Are they talking about we indies? As in, the little guys? Xbox Live Arcade indies? On the Wii?
Sounds like it to me. Anybody know more?

Sounds like it me! They prolly worked out a deal with a game portal to purchase and download Indie games or they will host there own portal. Anyway, I wish they would release more info..

I’m a huge fan of the Wii. After playing with the new controller for 5mins, I was already totally bought off.
I really hope Nintendo will allow indie developers to create game on the Wii. My studio would absolutely be interested in doing that.

That’s nice. Although Wii name is not perhaps the best one, but who cares if they support indies.
