WII U - SDK

Well ..

At GDC 2013, Nintendo said it will provide an HTML 5 SDK to work with WII U. From what I read the SDK allowed to work with all the features of the device.

Looking for a bit I found a registration form for those who are interested in developing for the WII U:

https://gdc2013.nintendo.com/sign_up.php

I think it's a good opportunity to use the resources that the Monkey has.

I tested some of my applications and everything seems to work .. some app's don't run so smooth .. because the WII U hardware don't have the same power of a PC computer to render a game in JS .. I think we can consider a further platform for creating games.

I saw this at GDC but didn't get a chance to talk to them a bit more on it. Gonna try it out...

I've managed to get access to this, in an effort to port my Wire Hang game. http://www.wirehang.com

Let's see where I am come January.

wirehang! I haven't played that in almost a decade. It'll be interesting to see it on Wii U.

What are the terms of getting access to the SDK?

The link in the OP is dead.

I know I tried a long time ago... but they don't allow people from Brazil to publish games on WiiU =/

Edit: Apparently even Japan is out! http://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-not-accepting-japanese-indie-developers-on-wii-u/1100-6412015/

Here's the updated link to apply: http://wiiu-developers.nintendo.com
