We have been able to deploy various services for this console with less in-house development resources in a more timely manner than our previous platforms
Confident in the viability of marketing third party apps and games, Nintendo was quick to tell the story of Gunman Clive, a game made originally for the iOS and ported later to Android devices. When it was ultimately ported to the 3DS, however, its sales saw a massive leap on the eShop. As for demos, Sketch Battle, a game made entirely with JavaScript was shown to be fully functional when rebuilt for the Wii U, as well.
This announcement only builds on Nintendo’s removal of the Concept Approval policy. In short, this decision now makes it so that developers can circumvent a large amount of first party control of their products, set their own prices &c.. Taken together, this is somewhat of a quantum leap for market openness; indies, rejoice!!
