Forums - Gaming Discussion - Watchdogs On Wii U - How Can People Be So Selfish??

NavyNut on 17 April 2014

I got nothing againt the toast, I think he's funny. But it wouldn't be a wise decision to delay watchdog for the WiiU, they will probably end selling less that way anyways.

Btw I was hyped about this game but for some reason I'm pretty sure its not gonna be that good anyways. MK8 will rule the WiiU.

I saw a GameGrumps the other day, about Nintendoland and it is really unique and interesting how the gamepad works, it is a shame that neither Nintendo os 3rd party really use these featuress in a relevant way, but multiplataforms are not where I expect these things to shine



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I have heard from people on here that the Wii U version and the other versions of watchdogs should be released at the same time. How can you guys be so selfish?

The Wii U version needs special dev time because of weird/unfamiliar tech and you guys expect ubisoft to delay the game on all other systems so that the Wii U will be getting watchdogs at the same time? Let me get this straight, you guys want ubisoft to delay this game more for around 200million+ people just to satisfy a couple million Wii U owners?

I have even heard users on this site go as far as saying that they will never buy watchdogs for Wii U to teach Ubisoft a lesson. Wii U owners should just be lucky they are getting this game, it looks fun!


I agree, it would be cool to have a game even if it was later, heck, they should fix Aliens colonial marines and release on WiiU as it was promissed long ago.

There's fair and then there's business sense...

Delay Wii U Rayman Legends to allow simultaneous release for all platforms - good business sense.

Delay Watch Dogs to allow simultaneous release for all platforms (inc. Wii U) - bad business sense.

Rayman's delay was terrible, and the reason it bombed.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Please explain yourself, as just making baseless assertions doesn't make what you are saying true.

Rayman Legends was set to be one of the biggest titles in the Wii U launch window, when there was little else releasing. Most Wii U owners who frequented sites such as this were excited about the game and planning to buy it. However, with the delay and making the game multiplatform, the game was pushed way back to release next to other big hitters in the crowded "Fall 2013" market such as GTA and Wind Waker HD. This caused the game to largely be overlooked on the PS3/360 and there were more choices for the Wii U as well. With this decision, Ubisoft lost every advantage they had with Rayman Legends and pissed off a decent amount of people.

What exactly does "one of the biggest titles in the Wii U launch window" mean?  Because none of the launch window (post launch) games sold all that well.  Even with the delay it sold better than Wonderful 101, Game & Wario, Monster Hunter (in the west), and a host of multiplat games.  Even the games that did better (Lego and Pikmin) didn't exactly do great numbers.  Rayman's total sales across platforms (just WiiU/PS3/360/Vita) would put it at number 6 on the best selling Wii U games, and four of the five that would be above it saw bundling.

While I don't think Ubisoft was breaking the bank to advertise Legends, it is also cheaper advertise all the versions at once rather than over multiple time periods.

The Wii U version was the only version I wanted. Since it's being delayed, I say don't release a WU version at all.

Why deny yourself a game? 


"The Wii U version was the only version I wanted. Since it's being delayed, I say don't release a WU version at all. It will just be a bigger embarrassment than it already was. I don't even know what Watchdogs is about. I just wanted it because it was supposed to make good use of the controller. Whether I get it now or not is up in the air. I own a PS4 and Xbox One so I may already own it by the time the Wii U version releases or I may lose interest waiting for the Wii U version entirely."

Basically, it's going to sell like crap, they aren't going to push the Wii U hardware,  and it'll be the final nail in the casket for Wii U third parties.  I don't see a lot of good coming from a Wii U version anymore and even if it's good, I may be interested in something else entirely.

come now, you know this game was going to sell like crap regardless if it had released the same time as others. But that still doesnt answer his question, why deny yourself a good game.

If it's good, I'll probably own it before the Wii U version comes out.


ok so you good then, not really a lost sale for Ubisoft

If the Wii U version is not juked out of a shit ton of features then I might consider picking it up, and if it has good reviews..

Id rather have it released later anyway to be honest. I just think its strange that they keep delaying stuff on Wii U....

I've been saying that since my first post but now, I'm gonna NOT buy it just to spite you and Ubisoft!!

Because everyone is selfish.

Of course I'm happy that I can play this game on Wii U and I will buy it later this year but that doesn't mean that I let Ubisoft play with my feeling like they want. I mean they delayed Rayman Legends. This still hurts, couldn't buy game, but I want it. That's just unfair because it's like: "We give up, this is the last game we make for this stupid console." Ubisoft supported the Wii U very well but they treated it badly, too. But everything is better than EA.



I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?

I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.

Well, personally speaking, of course - I will buy the game for the Wii U - as Ubisoft has earned a purchase with their support for the Wii U. Plus, I can't be fucked to be it for the other consoles.

Let me make things clear - if it is a dog shit version that is missing features and littered with bugs - Wii U owners have every right to be pissed
