Not interested in ‘garage developers’
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime says in an interview with Gamasutra that he is not interested in releasing games created by hobbyists for Nintendo devices:
I would separate out the true independent developer vs. the hobbyist. We are absolutely reaching out to the independent developer. Where we’ve drawn the line is we are not looking to do business today with the garage developer. In our view, that’s not a business we want to pursue.
