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.

I honestly didn't know that. Thanks.

Dang I really wish Nintendo would hire you as a creative director and make this game. Would be awesome and undoubtedly sell well.

What's the rayman/watchdogs contradiction?

I wonder who of us will be happy in the end!

I will. For sure.

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.  

I agree completely. Get it on Wii U if you're going to get it. We need sales to reflect that we're actually a viable market. Otherwise we're not going to be getting any quality games in the future, and our console is kaput.

Whoever thought to combine Sonic and Zelda should be given a Nobel Peace Prize.

The more animal crossing the better, whatever console, whatever context.

I still think the idea for Watch Dogs is pretty cool despite the downgrade. Plus the map is 5x that of GTA5. I agree that Ubisoft has put out some pretty good games for our lil Wii U console. Not many companies are even trying with us. And that's not to say Ubisoft is perfect - they're just another capitalist game developing operation. They just want our money. But insofar as games go, they do produce a few good ones here and there.

Stoked about the templar reconnection.

This looks gorgeous.

I want to know why it's called Comet! Hopefully Neil DeGrasse Tyson will be featured! :-p

I'll take "art-style" anyday with a Zelda game.

Ignore him. He's the town troll. Everyone throws him on ignore.

Good advice,thanks.

I'll be stoked about whatever they put out! It's Zelda, folks!

I doubt they'll cancel this game for the Wii U, but I reckon it's the last AAA title we'll get from Ubisoft and I can't say I blame them.

Why do you say that??

I think the graphics of the NES Super Mario games are fantastic, so count me out.

Meh well I'm still pretty hyped for the game despite the delay.

Looks fun. 2015 is a long wait though.

See I think ZombieU had the right idea with gamepad but it didn't have that spark to make it light up. I feel a game like ZombieU or a game like LA Noire or Heavy Rain would make great use of the gamepad. I feel the gamepad should be used in slower type games with more of a narrative involved having to find clues and solve puzzles.

Imagine doing what you said using the gamepad as a scope basically having the camera move with the gamepad but solving a crime scene( Noire/heavy rain) or puzzles. Having to write down info based on what you notice or interrogating suspects, going through files with the pad. It sounds like everyday stuff boring and all but I feel the gamepad would make that interesting.

Games like Gone Home or Outlast would be awesome with the gamepad, again games that deal with observation would feel right at home with the WiiU. Having the major components go through the gamepad with the sense that the player is in control.

That's why I liked ZombiU so much. The controls were phenomenal.

Why does wiiu keep getting screwed sure it is partly nintendos fault for not meeting with the developers beforehand maybe its being delayed so they can make it work with the gamepad because ps4 and xbox1 have almost the same controller and were talking with the developers probably when the game was announced

Well, our game has been delayed not cancelled. I don't think that means we're getting "screwed." Just means we have to wait longer than the xbones and ps4s.

I've never been into the sport, but I think that there's no reason why there shouldn't be a hockey game on the Wii U

I've never been into the sport either. But with the right kind of development, especially like ULTRA VIOLENT gameplay, hockey games could be really fun!!

Retro Studios today smokes Rare. Back in the day though, Rare were the devs everyone wanted.

I don't see the problem with the graphics, it looked good to me. But I'm not a big graphics person. The the gameplay looks good and thats all that matters.

 

But I agree with the whole this needs to do well to support the Wii U. Games bombed before, and they didn't deter support really, companies are doing this just with the Wii U. Its like hey, why didn't you buy a crap game? Oh well no good games for you.

I also don't see the problem with the graphics. We're going to get Wii U graphics, and that's what we should expect. I also agree that we need to support good games on the Wii U or our beloved console is going to die a horrible death.

Hey sorry I know there was a thread for this, but it was in the WiiU games thread. The game has been cancelled for WiiU but I figured since it's about to come out people might want to talk about it for the consoles it's out on (PS3/XBOX I think, unless it's next-gen and I'm stupid). I might get it because I think it's a unique kind of game, mixing slapstick comedy and JRPG style. Anyone else?

They are saying everything that I want to hear. PS4, this will be the first game I pick up for you.

Not my first, but I'm equally excited!
