Remember when Nintendo US president Reggie Fils-Aime ruled out working with "garage" developers? Well its PR director, Marc Franklin, has come to the rescue to help explain exactly what he meant by that statement.
"Nintendo always appreciates good quality content regardless of whether that's coming from an indie developer or a more established publisher," he told Gamasutra. "For example, we've worked with 2D Boy, the people behind World of Goo for WiiWare. This is a group of guys who don't even have an office.
"So we embrace that kind of independent spirit and it's ultimately the most innovative content that will rise to the top." That 'independent' spirit sounds a lot like the 'garage developer' spirit that Reggie shrugged off just over a week ago, if we're being honest. But that's just us. What you do you reckon, readers?
