Senior Producer of F1 2012 stated that F1 will not see a yearly release on Wii U due to its casual audience.

Personally I could care less about F1, I'm just wondering where Dirt from the E3 2011 lineup is!?!

Plus IMO, If Nintendo really wanted to get a Hardcore demographic, they would say so, hmmm kinda like they have been, oh and look! We're getting all of these Hardcore games like Black Ops 2, Ninja Gaiden 3, or Mass Effect 3!
I am the foot. I do not like you. You smother me with socks and shoes, then step on me thousands of times a day.

We foot will rebel one day.

Well, if they refuse to release hardcore games on a platform, because they anticipate that platform to have few hardcore gamers, then that will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

They better not do this for DiRT and GRID, and it will be funny if F1 makes the most money on the Wii U. I know GRID won't be yearly, but it better get all of them. They said they were going to stop making DiRT yearly too.

Is F1 selling well anyway? And we have Project C.A.R.S. so there's no room left for F1.

I'm a bit disappointed about that, although if they release an F1 game on the Wii U every two years, I'd be able to cope. I also think it's a bit worrying for Nintendo that Codemasters, and possibly other developers, doubt their ability to sell the Wii U to hardcore gamers.

from what i remember there wasonly like two developers including codemasters that doesnt really like the wii u. and thats awesom compared to what previous consoles have had for support. dont worry if they are smart they will jump on the wii u bandwagon.

BLAAAAAH. It isn't that big of a deal to me to not get a racing game, because I wouldn't buy it even if it were on there, but it still irks me that they are predicting doom (the Wii U being a completely casual console. It is doom to me anyways :P ) without any real way of predicting how well this thing will do.

Be wary, the suck is coming.

Buy Project Cars. To show that Nintendo has a racing audience.

The wii u doesn't have a casual audience.

It doesn't have any audience. It's not out yet.

Developers like this intellectually challenged fellow depermine who the audience will be by supplying games that attract an audience.

Also, he clearly ignored nintendos commitment to recapturing the hardcore market.

yea he's pretty ignorant to base the wii u base completely on the previous system that nintendo has released.

Just wait until its released then we can truly see how "casual" the system is.

Strange....just 1 year earlier they said


Nintendo is smart. It is always innovative. It has demonstrated its breakthrough ability in the past, so let’s see if it can do it again. And the industry should cheer it on.
We will be doing Dirt and F1 for Wii U.
