        Except so far I've heard the exact opposite for the WiiU, they are even funding Bayonetta 2 for Platinum and they aren't even first or second party. Indie devs liken the eShop to Steam for how easy it is to get a game on it now compared to the WiiShop which was terrible.
        
        I think Nintendo really needs to start being a bit more vocal, swallow their pride and acknowledge that they need to get more people on board.
