Best indie games available from Wii U Nintendo eShop?

December 28, 2015 9:17 AM

I'm looking for recommendations for cool fun indie games that are available through the Nintendo eShop (got a gift card for Christmas!).

I also have a Steam account and have really enjoyed the following games:

- Thomas Was Alone
- Limbo
- NightSky
- Type:Rider
- Braid
- Never Alone

Usually I use the Wii U for the big known Nintendo titles like Mario, etc., but I like that the eShop has indie titles available too, and for a lot cheaper. What other indie games are available through the eShop that I might like?

If you haven't played it on any other platform, I really liked Year Walk when I played it on the Wii U earlier this year. It's very seasonally appropriate, too, if you like that sort of thing.

Affordable Space Adventures! Better if you have a few people to play with, though.

I really loved Shovel Knight, which is a remarkably dead-on tribute to the Mega Man series (with a bonus mechanic from the NES DuckTales game.)
