Nintendo has ramped up its indie support in recent months with a set of revised developer policies. Registered developers can now set their own prices and release dates for their titles, with no sales thresholds or concept approval processes required.
In early August, Nintendo of America business development manager Dan Adelman stated that there would be "20 to 30" indie games coming to the Wii U eShop by the end of 2013.
Shortly after, Nintendo released a montage trailer showcasing 18 Wii U indie games currently in development at European and Australian studios.
GDC Europe takes place in the days leading up to Gamescom, which kicks off August 21.
Nintendo confirmed plans to attend Gamescom in February, having skipped last year's show. Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer will providethe opening keynote at Gamescom, while Sony and EA will host press conferences on August 20.
