Well as the title suggest... apparently the first saints row design director was working on open world title for Wii U. The game was a partnership with Nintendo. Well Nintendo Management canceled at the last minute. Well not surprised. http://nintendoevery...-with-nintendo/ Thoughts?

At first you want to ask why Nintendo why but Nintendo must have had their reasons.

Wii U has a few open world games now anyway and more to come so I can live with it.

There was also a cancelled original board game for the Wii U by the same devs that do the Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy licensed games. Sucks when things get canned but I am glad Nintendo still has that instinct and reasoning to do so. If it was any other company, the game would have been developed and released and buried among all the clones.

Must have been some kind of serious issue, either with the game itself or with the business relationship with Nintendo and the other parties involved.

Either way I am disappointed to hear this.
