Something tells me they will still block games based on their content if they're too obscene... like that ass invaders game.

Hang on, why are they pimping their Web Framework at Unity's conference? I thought the two things were entirely unconnected.
AFAIK I think Nintendo was in agreements with Unity to help developers make stuff on Wii U, even before the console's release.
Does anyone know if they stream the talks on UnityNordic? I'm really interested...

Well, seems like Nintendo has the best indie-environment currently.

This news should be in favor of Nintendo.

Hopefully this means we'll see great content on the eShop. I've already bought a number of them on the 3DS, bought Toki Tori 2 on the Wii U.

This is great. Although I wonder how many indie devs will want to develop for the WiiU considering its current sales. Hopefully Nintendo does something to pick things up
A lot of indies have their work already programmed in Unity for PC or tablet. If the only thing they have to do is getting a relatively inexpensive dev kit (around 2000€
because the engine itself will compile the game for Wii U with very little effort from the programmers in mapping controls and stuff in the second screen, it's basically... well, not free money, but a very good way of diversifying portfolio and reaching a bigger audience with little effort and initial investment.Apparently the DL sales aren't too bad considering the install base. Nothing amazing but I guess the fact that it's pretty easy to port your unity game to the platform and there isn't much hassle in order to put on the shop makes it an easier decision. More platform, more sales.
well, the pace of indie eshop games announced in the last few weeks is not that bad imho. probably because it's way simpler now to port/develop for the eshop and you can easily get enough sales to cover the dev costs, thx to the lack of competition from big retail games
We do. I think it's cool how Nintendo is doing this giant world tour to promote this stuff. Their outreach has been fantastic.
Well, if it's an AO game, it's an AO game. That's up to the ESRB (And quite frankly the developer. Take some responsibility for your content).
Some people still pretend like it's 2007 in Nintendo-Onlineland.

Nah, Sony's still doing a bit better.
What exactly is Sony doing that Nintendo isn't (and vice versa)?
I have to imagine it will be at least a short period of exclusivity (3-6 months, I figure) on the Wii U and/or the 3DS to get a free kit. Nothing that Sony doesn't already do with the PubFund, really.

i didnt think unity was free for sony platforms though?
Can't be exclusive since Adelman laughed at the notion of exclusivity.

yacht club got free dev kits i think and shovel knight aint exclusive
Well, I at least assume that getting a free dev kit means that you must bring a game to the Wii U and/or 3DS.

royalty free too?
If the ESRB would rate is AO then Nintendo will block it.
