Woah, finally got a response email. Basically telling me to expect a phone call or email in next few weeks. Excitement.

Thanks! Hopefully I'm approved and eventually get a dev kit or so. haha. I actually have a few game prototypes in mind. 1 in HTML5 simple tower defense game and 2 others in Unity (one's a platformer and other is a 2D top-down zombie shooter arcade like game - think COD Zombies/RE:R Raid Mode).Congrats man. I hope to see something special from you.
Finally got a phone call from Nintendo. My cell's caller ID actually said "Reggie Fils-Aime" and for a split second thought Mr. Kickass himself was calling. Wasn't though :lol
Anyways, looks like I'm one step closer to becoming a Nintendo developer. Suppose to keep my eye on my email for an important email to continue.
Got my initial one. Anyone had the phonecall? What do they go through?

Hell, I got one too, and I know NOTHING about programming. I just applied for the lulz.So wait... That "WW" email in my inbox, is an actual email from Nintendo of America regarding the indie GDC application?
Although I did mention in the application form I currently cant code in advanced languages like C# and C++, I do have at least little knowledge of how HTML5, CSS and JavaScript plus other web technologies but very little. I do have a couple of ideas for games and applications.
Does this mean I was half-approved for obtaining a Wii U developer license?

I feel like I should apologize for wasting their time, or something. though, I do know a guy who could use it...hmm.
Pretty sure the WW in the email name stands for Wario World, so maybe they use a general/centralized email address for contacting developers.
I got my email about two weeks ago and I got my call a couple days ago. Kind of nervous since I've done a couple of game jams but I haven't really done anything on my own I'm starting to lurk in the Indie Game Dev thread a lot more now!
Are you talking about the very first form, or the email after that? Because they ask you again for your phone number in an email after applying to the form.I submitted my personal information and got an automated response for now.
However, I think I made a mistake when I filled in my phone number, but I can't contact them through their "noreply" account. Should I wait until I get a less automated response and reply there to make sure they get the right number, or is there any other way I can contact them to let them know about it?
Honestly, I never even knew Argentina added 9 to the country code for international calls to cellphones (so I should've written +549 rather than just +54)... I really hope I can get this fixed in time.

My GDC emails/appliance have been redirected to Nintendo of Europe. So they have guys working with indies here too, that's pretty cool news.
It also seems minimal age is now 13, just in case you are the new angry bird guy.
dev kits for kids??? now that I never expected, don't you have to set yourself up as a company? didn't think under 16s could do that?
