dazzybee Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 95% certain I'll get the wii u version. Unless the PS4 version is substantially better, which I can't see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyliini Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Wii U version for me, too. I loved the map on the GamePad in ACIII and Batman, so this one should benefit greatly as well. I doubt there will be any Wii U -specific upgrades. Seems like Wii U isn't getting DedSec Editioin anymore, has been removed from some of the retailer's lists. Sucks, but what can I do, I'll just get the normal version then. Or was there some ind of Special Edition, I forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canand Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Oh shit RUMOR - Watch_Dogs' Wii U version in trouble? We're hearing some reports out of Italy that GameStop has yanked the Wii U listing for Watch_Dogs. The title is no longer available for preorder on Nintendo's platform. It looks like everything is still good here in the states. Is there trouble brewing for the Wii U version, or is this just a misunderstanding?

gmac Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 well you can still pre-order it on Ubisoft's store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khilafah Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 even though AC and splinter cell bombed big time on Wii U, I did think Ubisoft would still release watch dogs. if this is cancelled then thats Ubisoft done with Wii U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f00had Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Wouldn't this game be best on Wii U? The main character hacks stuff from his mobile phone which makes it perfect for the Game Pad. If I do buy it then I'll probably get the Wii U version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liger05 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I would be shocked if it wasn't released simply cos development costs have already been incurred so they might as well release it now even though it will bomb hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Make of this what you will. CVG contacted the studio to address the rumour after it was claimed that Italian branches of GameStop have been cancelling pre-orders and informing customers the Wii U version had been scrapped. "We have nothing to comment at the moment," a Ubisoft spokesperson replied. It is unclear why Ubisoft is not discussing the matter, though the publisher has a general policy of not addressing rumours and speculation. If it is still under development then why not just say now and dismiss these rumours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wii Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I don't believe it's cancelled but you never know. Remember Aliens: Colonial Marines, that was cancelled a month before launch on Wii U, no loss whatsoever. If this game bombs, I'd say that's it from Ubisoft, they've probably already decided they're off. This is just the last game on the conveyor belt. We'll be left with that casual rubbish, Just Prance. I don't remember seeing any Wii U specific footage or screenshots of this game. Pretty sure there's been none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serebii Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Yeah, I have very little interest in it either but if it is cancelled it's just another nail in the Wii U coffin. It's the sort of game that screams out GamePad integration too, for unique ways of play. They've even done GamePad stuff for the companion app. Such a shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I don't get the hype around this game to be honest. Maybe after its lengthy delay, that will have changed but, they might have fleshed it out a bit more but...can anyone explain why they are excited for this? The Wii U version being developed by Ubisoft Bucharest (separately from the others, I think) so this might make a cancellation more likely.

Daft Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) I'm more excited about W_D than I ever was about SM3DW. But then that's the benefit of making something I've not played a million iterations of (but seriously, literally over 10 iterations of), even if it's a much worse game. Also, Titanfall. Could that game have been bought any more press? It looks fun, yeah, but a killer app? Yeah, no. Not an ice cube's chance in Hell.

dazzybee Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 It would be mental and a mini disaster for Wii U. Can you imagine wii U getting less than 10 3rd party games in year That'd be worse than 3DO and Jaguar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
