Guys, if you're going to get the game, just stay the course and get the Wii U version.  It's not an essential purchase, it's not crack, and this isn't high school (though maybe you are in high school?).  You're not going to die, go into withdrawal, or be less cool if you get the game later than other people.  

 

If you're worried about online play, I'm sure you'll able to find people with the Wii U version online, even if you have to use a forum like this or NintendoLife to organize it.  

True enough.  Gunslingergaming does a fine job throwing events together as well.  Most games seem to have an online population anyway so finding a game hasn't been much of an issue apart from AC3 and NG3 that suffered right out of the gates.  Sure, there's some dead modes in the CoD games, but that's where communities like this one, NL or GS come in.  Hell, even miiverse does an alright job with the whole "Heading into Blitz, follow on in!" posts.  And if impatient, everygame seems to have a mode akin to TDM that's always populated.

 

I'm with ya on the wait for the U version.  ...despite their whole rayman/watchdogs contradiction.  Seems like ubi's pretty good at using that second screen so controls sound like they'll be the best on the U version.

As far as I know delay Wii U Rayman to release Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, yet not do the same with Watch Dogs and just delaying the Wii U version.

Quite right.  Bad form on their part.  And I'm sure some will never forgive Ubi preaching how they want to "be fair" to the other consoles and release everything together only to do the opposite here.  But really, I was mad at them then, didn't buy their game on any plat... and won't until, at earliest, it's in a bargain bin.  On watchdogs however, while I'm disappointed in a delay(when this time around they were planning on developing the 6 platforms simultaneous rather than rayman, supposedly a U exclusive... which they completed for U, then deciding to develop it for three other plats but hold onto the U release until the other three were ready) it looks like it's a game just plain designed to use with second screen.

Assuming you're really asking and not trying to play gotcha so I'll bite...

 

They delayed Wii U Rayman, which was done, to release at same time as other consoles, but are singling out Wii U Watch_Dogs to be delayed because for some reason they can't have it ready when it's been in development as long as everything else.  We don't even know when (or if...) it will be released on Wii U at this point.

There's really no reason to think they won't release it on the U apart from the tired usual bad press anything U related seems to get.  Ubisoft's developing a U version already.  Would make little sense to scrap that work this far in.  The ambiguity however, is beneficial to Ubi at this point as they imagine people will preorder on the plats known to be getting it end of next month, then, think they will buy a U version as well once they push it to shelves.  That's how a salesman would think, and a game publisher carries the same motivation.  Not faulting them for it... just not pleasant on the anxious gamer's end.  I am not part of that target market however.  One copy will be plenty for me.  And preference is U, so I'll wait for word on that.

I honestly didn't know that. Thanks.
