Indie Games Could Help Save the Wii U

The Verge – Nintendo may finally understand why small studios are important.

Owning a Nintendo console means being patient. While the company's internally developed games are as amazing as ever, the Wii U, and to a lesser extent the 3DS, are largely bereft of third-party content. Once Mario Kart comes out, all you can do is wait until The Legend of Zelda arrives. But the company may finally have found a solution for the quiet periods in-between big Nintendo games: smaller, digital releases from indie studios.
