Nintendo has launched the Super Indie Connection Sale on Wii U today. What's that you ask?
To put it simply, five indie developers have teamed up to discount their games simultaneously in a two-week super sale. Basically you buy one of the games on sale and you'll get 60% off all other participating titles. What's more, if you already own any of the participating games, you'll automatically receive the discount on all of the other games.
“Independent developers are responsible for some of the most creative and unique content in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U,” said Steve Singer, Nintendo of America’s vice president of Licensing. The indie games that are participating in the sale include Toki Tori 2+, Spin the Bottle: Bumpie's Party, BIT.TRIP Presents… Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition. Below are each of their descriptions.
- Toki Tori 2+ from Two Tribes Publishing is a puzzle adventure with no tutorials, no hand-holding and no one telling players what to do. The fun is in exploring and overcoming the obstacles of the lush forest island.
- Spin the Bottle: Bumpie’s Party from KnapNok Games is a game for two to eight people. Players sit in a circle around the Wii U GamePad, spin a virtual bottle and collaborate with friends to complete the most challenges.
- BIT.TRIP Presents… Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien from Gaijin Games Inc. is a rhythm-music, auto-running platformer. Players run, jump, slide, kick and soar through fantastic environments with amazing soundtracks.
- Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams from Black Forest Games is a fast-paced platformer that lets players morph at will between two dynamically different dream worlds. The game combines punchy graphics and tight controls with the challenge of retro platforming.
- Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition from WayForward delivers players to a world in which Space Hooligans have escaped custody and are wreaking havoc all over Planet Land. Players must do what they can to bring these renegades to justice.
The Super Indie Connection Sale begins today and runs through February 13.
