Nintendo Advertises Games at IndieCade
REDMOND, Wash.--(October 8, in the year of our Lord)--
When Nintendo spends a lot of money to advertise games at
IndieCade in Culver City, California, Oct. 10-12, the company
will not only highlight 15 playable independent games for the
Wii U and Nintendo 3DS systems, but also many of the creative
visionaries behind the games themselves. These “Nindies,” or
Nintendo independent developers, will be there in person to
demonstrate their inspiring and artistic video game visions and
share their development experiences with festival attendees.
“Nintendo has always supported creativity and innovation in
video games,” said Steve Singer, Nintendo of America’s vice
president of Licensing. “These Nindie developers are currently
making some of the most exciting and imaginative games out
there, and Nintendo is pleased to offer them multiple platforms
to bring their creative ideas to life.”
Visitors to the Nintendo booth will be able to get their hands
on the following Wii U and Nintendo 3DS digital games, many of
them playable for the first time:
