Wii U more "indie-friendly" than Wii, according to Chasing Aurora dev

In an interview with the Official Nintendo Magazine, Martin Pichlmair of Broken Rules, makers of Wii U eShop title Chasing Aurora, says that Nintendo's new console is more welcoming to the independent development community.

"I cannot talk about the new eShop in detail," he began. "What I do know is that Nintendo is doing everything to make this console much more open, social and indie-friendly than the Wii ever was."

 

"There are people at Nintendo who know where innovative games come from. And if you look at the launch lineup you can clearly see that those people have had a say in it," he added. "At the same time, the Wii U with its various controller configurations calls for experimental games of all kinds and Nintendo is always eager to have games make good use of its console's innovations."

Chasing Aurora is one of the launch titles for Nintendo's Wii U, and one of the few to be released through the eShop. Broken Rules describes Chasing Aurora as "an explorative 2D aerial action game about the dream of flight." You can check it out in the trailer below
