The ‘perfect system’

We recently learned thatStealth Inc 2is in development— exclusively for the Wii U. While many developers both large and small tend to dodge the eShop, Curve Studios is embracing it. Recently they took to Twitter, and noted that “setting policies and economics for a moment, the Wii U is a perfect system for indie development right now.”

Dakko Dakko Limited, developer ofScram Kittychimed in, noting that it’s given them a “great deal of fun and inspiration.” Once again we see another positive experience from the Wii U side, to go along with all the negative ones. While developer’s experiences with Nintendo seem to go either way, Sony tends to have positive indie development stories all around.
