One of the earliest indie franchises to get its start on a Nintendo system was BIT.TRIP, which saw several releases via WiiWare from 2009 through 2011.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from the Inkwell Isles.

From its reveal there was an appeal to Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. Whether it was the odd mix of gameplay styles (action platforming/RICE FARMING) or the aesthetic and sensibilities out of Japanese myth, the game has managed to do well out of the gate. Novel its mix may be,…
Pikmin, by their very stature, are inclined to deal with bugs. Literal ones, that is, and with proper leadership they can handle those. Unfortunately, Pikmin 3 Deluxe has seen a few bugs of a different kind pop up since its release, which Nintendo has just fixed via an update. The…
