We are interested in seeing how Nintendo supports independent studios who wish to develop for the Revolution. If Nintendo embraces the "indie crowd," then maybe they can pull out an upset victory in console sales. More independent developers yields more (and more unique) titles for Nintendo's next-generation offering. Plus, we would love to see an online infrastructure similar to the Xbox Live Marketplace, where gamers could download arcade-style games with low development costs but addictive gameplay (think: Geometry Wars) in addition to the full Nintendo back catalog. We'd be willing to upgrade those 512MB flash memory cards for that.
Crossbeam has pledged 3 games for the Revolution (Orb, Thorn, and Darkness) which can be viewed on their website. The other two known indie developers include NIBRIS (the already-covered Raid over the River) and LifeSpark Studios (Sunder: Land of Divide).
