Nintendo indie head Damon Baker gave some details about the current state of the indie scene on Wii U in an interview with Gamasutra.

Baker outlined the challenges of getting the demos through Nintendo certification when the games won't release for several months, as well as how the games were selected by way of prior relationships and concepts the NOA team found interesting.

Other subjects touched on in the interview were the success of the Humble Nindie Bundle for the developers, many of whom saw sales increases during the time of the bundle, and how Nintendo continues to not buy exclusivity.
