One way to get exclusive content on consoles is to simply pay for it: give the developer a bunch of money not to release the game on other platforms. Both Sony and Microsoft are doing it, getting exclusive (even if for a limited time) games on their platforms. Nintendo isn’t known for doing that. <\/p>\n

Nintendo’s Damon Baker recently pointed that out in a new interview with GameInformer<\/a>, saying that “We\u2019re not known for exclusive [indie games] in particular, and that\u2019s because we\u2019re not throwing around a lot of cash. We also don\u2019t see a huge benefit to developers in driving exclusive deals with platforms and consoles”.<\/p>\n

In fact, Nintendo likes to do the opposite, as Baker puts it, “We very much encourage all of our development partners to release simultaneously across all platforms.” <\/p>\n

Baker adds that Nintendo is proactive and does reach out to indie developers, but that doesn’t include a bundle of cash like some other platform holders. Instead, Nintendo pitches the Wii U and the second screen experience as a big draw on their platforms. <\/p>\n

There have been plenty of indie game released on the Wii U, however, the platform is lagging behind in indie content compared to the PS4 and Xbox One. <\/p>\n
