‘Nindies,’ if you will (I won’t)
Recommended Videos
Klei’s wilderness survival game Don’t Starve: Giant Edition is headed to the Wii U eShop this spring with a convenient map viewable on the GamePad screen (or Off-TV play, if you’d rather). Great!
Also cool: E-Line’s charming platformer Never Alone will use the controller to show contextual details about the “history, culture, and lives of the Iñupiat people” when it hits Wii U this June.
These are just two of the 30-some independent games coming to the console in 2015. Nintendo has put together a release schedule for those titles as well as the next batch of 3DS eShop games, including HAL Laboratory’s minimalistic puzzle-platformer BOXBOY!, viewable below.
