Nintendo shows off 18 indie games for Wii U in video montage

Nintendo opened the floodgates on the Wii U's indie offerings in a video today, showing 18 different games coming to the system from European and Australian developers.

Head past the break to see the list of games shown in the video. Among things missing from the video were release dates for some of the games, which is a blessing given the state of our wallets right now. We do know that Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams launches this month on Wii U and Ittle Dew will head to the system this fall or winter.
