An online hub for Nintendo eShop Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS titles is now live with an emphasis on indie games. The hub features more than 1,000 “new, classic and indie” games for the Wii U and the 3DS. The hub’s design spotlights indie titles such as SteamWorld Dig, GunMan Clive, Moon Chronicles, Cave Story, Attack of the Friday Monster and more.

The Nintendo eShop has launched a hub for indie games, collecting and amassing a wealth of titles for both the Wii U and 3DS. Currently, the hub features Cave Story, Attack of the Friday Monsters, Moon Chronicles, Steamworld Dig, Gunman Clive and Siesta Fiesta for 3DS, and Unepic for Wii U. Joystiq spoke to Nintendo Business Development Manager Dan Adelman back in July about the company becoming more “accessible” to indie developers. With the new indie hub of the eShop and plenty more indie games on the way, things look pretty accessible to us.
