Nintendo signs Unity deal for Wii U
by Steve Watts, Sep 20, 2012 8:15am PDTNintendo has signed a deal with the makers of the Unity Engine for use on the Wii U. The engine has already been licensed for use on the Wii for several years, but a renewed deal for Wii U sparks hope that the platform will get some use out of the indie market.
CVG reports that Unity developers will still need a licsense to publish on Wii U, and digital games will go through Nintendo's approval process. But Nintendo did license the engine for itself and third-parties. This puts it on-par with the development communities of its closest competitors, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
"The rapid growth of incredible games coming from the experienced and talented developers in our community makes Unity the new development platform of choice for triple-A console developers," Unity CEO David Helgason said. "Nintendo's unfettered access to Unity will produce a wealth of insanely good games from knowledgeable Nintendo developers and the Wii U deployment add-on will create an amazing opportunity for our massive community of developers to showcase their incredible creativity on one of the most anticipated and innovative gaming platforms to date."

It was so straightforward to learn. I hadn't used C# before and I only had to use like 2 of the tutorials on Unify. Other than that I just googled things whenever I really ran into a problem.
Also I'd really recommend inkscape for graphics, because I'm not artistic at all but with vector art you can just design things mathematically.
It's now like 3 months old. I'm hoping to have it done by the end of the month. Should be in public data in a couple of days.
