"I think it's definitely a good sign that the Wii U online shop already has some relatively high profile new indie games at launch. The big question I have is if Nintendo still requires indie developers to have a secure office space. That's a huge barrier to smaller indie developers like us who work from home. ...maybe we'll support it down the road." - Zeboyd Games founder Robert Boyd
I remember other devs complaining about this with WiiWare. I'm hopeful Nintendo dropped this odd requirement.

Anything noteworthy they have made?
Breath of Death 7, Cthulu Saves the World, and Penny Arcade Adventures ep 3
@DogglordI heard of at least 2 of those, that's something right?
Cthulhu Saves the World was pretty fun for what it's worth (it's currently 99 cents again during the Autumn Sale on Steam, as usual bundled with the not-exactly-as-great Breath of Death VII), pretty amazing soundtrack too. While Cthulhu has already been a huge step up gameplay-wise from BoD7 and I'm not familiar with the Penny-Arcade-games (just not interested in the brand), I'd love to see these guys continue polishing the Parody-RPG-formula.
It's really an odd requirement, it's quite logical. Having a secure, alarmed office with CCTV means that if anything happens to the devkit there is some form of accountability. It would only take one devkit to mysteriously go missing from a developer's house to cause a world of trouble.
Hey! That sounds like me!
='D
Sadly, that requirement is still in place from what I heard.
