Matthew Castle, the Associate Editor at the Official Nintendo Magazine, has clarified on Twitter that the magazine’s surprise Wii U game in its April issue isn’t Sonic Boom, but is instead something “indie and cool”. However, Castle says that the announcement is subject to change based on the developers wishes.
To clarify: next month Wii U remark relates to something indie and cool, though contents are subject to change based on developer wishes.
Thanks, Maanwel and Iceazeama
I guess the fact that Iceazeama is providing this site with news is why he hasn’t been banned yet.
It just shows that this is a troll site, run by trolls and 12 year olds.
I’ve read some of his old comments and I don’t think he’s a troll. He criticizes some of Nintendo’s decisions and there are a lot of people that agree with him. I also saw an iceazeama or whatever the hell his name is on miiverse and he wrote the same type of comments so it’s possible that he’s even a wiiU owner.
Hated the wii u so much he purchased one. Lol nice
Decepcion again……
The deception would be if they didn’t say anything until the day of revelation…
In that case I hope its a either a new tittle, or I hope its odd world, or cube related…..
Hopefully no more 8-Bit games…
It won’t be Oddworld, that’s already been announced.
By cube related, do you mean QUBE (again, won’t be, as it’s already been announced) or Minecraft?
Just bear in mind everybody its for the april edition and so could easily be a aprils fool joke! u have been warned!
True, but the issue hits shelves in March
How the minutes count down until something else is announced that will make me more depressed with my Wii U. I don’t know if I’ll ever recover from that moment at E3 2013 when they showed HD Animal Crossing but it wasn’t.
Even though it was super obvious that it was about Smash Bros with the logo before it and everything?
So the fact that the one final announcement to the Smash-free E3 began with the Smash logo didn’t make you suspicious?
I didn’t see it because ….. I didn’t play Smash Bros. I tried it but it was all about Mortal Kombat I & II arcade.
I learned to not get my hopes up, from a magazine.
Indeed…
The only way to go is to wait for the announcements made by High Command itself…
Whattt icy sent this news :/
Pingback: ONM teases new Wii U game for next issue.
Who buys a 300 dollar system for indie games?
Don’t PC’s cost over $300?
I’m just joking, but seriously, you’re pretty stupid.
Thanks!
Technically you could build a shitty PC for under $300 that could handle some indie games though the Wii U would still be more powerful
I don’t, don’t care bout no indie games.
So u care about game companies that produce glitchy $20000000 that are more movie than game
Or EA who are taking the sport out of sport gaming or producing P2W games cause stupid people waste realmoney on intangible items.
Give me indie games all day cause indie companies ate the new 3rd party support we need.
Looks like a few of us… I remember kranky kong Reggie saying Core Gamers/all the big 3rd party. Sad face. I wanted this to be the time when the commercial says available on PS4, XBoxOne, Wii U. Going to be Nintendo virtual console and Nintendo, Nintendo, Nintendo. Did you know Nintendo is fine with making money.??? Turns out this is they they do all this. If I’m playing others games I might not be buying there games. Ok I got it.
My guess is that it would be the same people who buy $400 and $500 dollar machines to play indie games.
Every studio starts of as an indie. Capcom, EA, Ubisoft, Activision, Tecmo-Koei, Naugtth-Dog, Vigil, Epic, Bungie, Bandai-Namco, Konami, Sega, Rockstar, and even NINTENDO all had to start somewhere.
Today’s indie studios could be replacing a LOT of the vendors I just mentioned tomorrow.
You know what I meant, Nintendo fans are so sensitive…
Who’s being sensitive? Just stating a fact. If someone likes playing indie games it doesn’t matter what console it’s on.
Besides, it’s well documented that the PS4 has the most indie developed games on tap. Nothing wrong with that either. It’s actually a good thing with these AAA studios putting out overpriced, glitchy crap.
the same people who buys a 400$ ps4 for indies.
Nintendo fanboys obviously.
Eczema sending news that isn’t about “Wii U, the end is nigh” I swear that guy is like the Joker, he is so fucking unpredictable it is disturbing…
He is a disease…
Please let it be A Hat in Time…one can dream =P
I think you are on to something!!!
A Hat in Time hasn’t been announced yet for Wii U.
Hmm…this is interesting.
The fact an “indie” game is given enough attention for a magazine, that isn’t Minecraft, is pretty perplexing.
Indie never always means what alot of people think, which is pixel sidescroller, alot of indie games are really really impressive, more so than “AAA studios” in some cases, so this could be anything really.
I have a feeling it’s the sequel to FAST though. It’s the only “significant” WiiU indie game i can think of, that hasn’t been shown off, and is supposed to be shown off soon(ish).
I doubt it’s actually Nintendo related at all aside from being on WiiU.
I’d imagine magazines, especially Nintendo magazines given how few third party games are currently scheduled for Wii U, will be reporting on a lot of indie games these days. They need content to fill up their pages, and they’re not getting that content from third party games at the moment, so there’s probably a lot of indie stuff in Nintendo magazines right now.
I haven’t read any magazines for years though, so I could be wrong.
I feel like FAST Racing Neo is only considered ‘significant’ because of Shin’en’s graphical prowess. We know they can put major studios to shame. And they’ve promised big things for FAST Racing Neo. But I hadn’t even heard of the FAST series before this new instalment was announced. Never knew the Wii instalment existed.
I would like it to be FAST Racing Neo though.
You have heard of the “Neo” series though which is something Shin’En frequently does.
Yeah, that’s fair.
But even in a drought of software that WiiU has had, a small indie wouldn’t be hyped up as much as this. It would get a small mention, but not pushed as a highlight.
Well, some indie games are receiving a lot of attention.
Scram Kitty and Shovel Knight are getting a lot of attention. As is Mighty Number 9 (for obvious reasons). Of course it won’t be these games, but I’m just saying they get a lot of focus on them.
Who knows, it could end up being Minecraft or something. There were rumours about it a while ago. The gamepad would be a great fit.
It’s hard to imagine it will be a completely new game that hasn’t been announced in any way whatsoever considering how it’s been mentioned by the magazine. But it could be something entirely new if its from a prolific indie developer.
Just have to wait and see.

Someone said A Hat in Time above and I would have to agree. It sounds like the most likely reveal.
The main indie game I wanna hear announce for WiiU is A Hate In Time!!!
haha…
there is a new wii u game coming and in then the next article…
a indie game.
oh nintendo you made me really mad.
its so frustrated with nintendo and their words.
i hate reggie, he is just talking, and talking…
we dont care what the customer wants, we give them what we have…. shity games.
jeez man, calm down and take a snickers, even nintendo do some minor to major fuck ups, it doesnt mean “breakout the torch and pitchforks and kill there asses for not giving us real bigboy 3D 1080p 60fps games but instead giving us half-assed indie games running like shit!!!”, i’m not into that shit my friend and everyone know that, but you getting upset just over one damn game?! JUST ONE!? Do you know how long does it take to make a pretty desent game to please gamers? (including sony and microsoft fans too) it could take 6 to 24 months to complete a game that every gamer wants.
it takes almost 4 years and more.
a sequel etc. takes 24 month.
yes i like AAA games, thats why i always have sony console at home.
/shakes fist in air!!
“These pretzels are making me thirsty!!!!!”
Do you prefer….. -Gatorade- or -Mountain Dew- or -Pepsi-
It’s probably Hullbreach Unlocked.
Well then someone is a asshole for mentioning F-Zero and StarFox when talking about a Indi game.
if its not exclusive its worthless to me on the wii u, i’ll judt get it on steam for cheap
Oh Minecraft?

It’s obviously the never-rumored “Super Hotline Miami: Mushroom Kingdom Edition”.
If big 3rd party publishers don’t want to support the Wii U; than Nintendo should do everything they can to have as many quality indies supporting the system. We already have quite a few quality indies like Unepic, Toki Tori 2+, Trine, CastleStorm, etc
Nintendo : *Sniff* *Sniff* look to all these Sony Indie games , i’m gonna get some
Sony : *Slap Nintendo hand* uh uh easy there grandpa !
Nintendo : BUT WE LOVE INDIES TOO D:
Sony : Not until you stop being selfish , k i’ll let this one pass *Trollface*
Nintendo : :D
very good strategy. indie and small, non-expensive games are the future of gaming. the times of this big, mulit-million, boring blockbuster-games are over. it’s similar like in the movie business.
