Nintendo president Satoru Iwata claims that the company has spoken to over one thousand indie developers about bringing their titles to Wii U. Iwata says they were approached regarding the Nintendo Web Framework which was announced during the Games Developers Conference in March. The Nintendo Web Framework uses a number of open web technologies, including HTML 5 and JavaScript. Here’s what he had to say.
“We have received great feedback. We have been in contact with more than a thousand parties.”
“Even though software for dedicated gaming devices has become advanced and complex, we have been working on those new approaches to expand the range of developers for the platform. As digital business expands, there will be even more opportunities for us to do business with small, independent software developers.”
