Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Ubisoft Mexico Comfirms Watch Dogs Wii U to launch Nov. 18(Update- Ubisoft comfirms Nov 18 NA, 21st Euro, and Dec 4 Japan)

Metallox on 09 September 2014

Just glad that Mexico did the step before anyone else ;)

On topic though, meh, kinda pointless right now. I'm planing to buy Rogue, Destiny, Bayonetta 2, Dragon Age Inquisition and Smash for Wii U that month.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

A month's avatar control says the framerate is abominable.

I still want to know why the huge delay.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

As someone who looked at Ubisoft, said my peace with Watch_Dogs. I expected this much. They wanted more time to implement gamepad specific features... and if all we are going to get is a damn map? Like how the hell do they get away with that? It's the same damn thing they did for both Assassins Creed game.... good for nothing no talent Ubisoft studio....
I swear they have ZERO creativity.... At least Activision is putting out something on the Wii U that uses some of the talents of their developers.

Might as well not make it at that point.

I know people like to give Ubisoft grief over this delay but this was honestly all business. They knew that the Wii U version was going to sell the least of the versions and notice how far behind this game was and decided that it was best to cut the Wii U version and focus on it at a later date. Hate them and give them grief all you want, they made the right decision probably. People give them shit for being straight up and tell us that M rated games are not selling on the Wii U to warrant the cost of a port. So they don't plan to port over any more versions of the M rated games. Atleast for the time being. As I just said, this is a business, don't get all upset that a company tells us it straight that the Wii U is not worth the ports any more. They gave the Wii U a fair chance and it failed for them. They may not have given the best of all ports, but they still brought there games over. If you want any future 3rd party support, you should have bought the games. Letting another M rated game to struggling to sell 200k is just more proof to a Dev that the Wii U is no longer worth the effort.

As I said, this is a business, Ubisoft is in it to make money. They came straight out to us and told us that there games are not selling on the Wii U and that they plan to support the console but with only family games since they sell well. I don't like them dropping support but this is how business works.

I can only speak for myself. I was set to get this game on Wii U, but after delay, reviews and the hype dying, i just don't feel like getting this at all now.
Not to mention it is comming along Smash, Bayonetta 2, Captain Toad, Destiny, CoD, AC:Unity.

imo, Ubisoft should have cancelled this. Now Ubisoft will have even more resentment against Wii U, despite the obvious reasons for it selling like it will.


And that's from someone who have a ton of M-Rated games.
Well, guess Ubisoft spared me $60. Thank you Ubi.

"As Morin explains, it was simply a matter of limited manpower. Some members of the Wii U development team were borrowed, so to speak, in order to ensure the other platforms made their May release date."

Essentially they were behind schedule with the other versions, so they removed the people that were working on the Wii U edition and split them to help the other teams and finish on time for the May release, that was around february of this year, so since feb till end of may nobody was working on WD for Wii U, that is 4 months of delay just there. When the team was reunited, Ubisoft could just cancel the Wii U edition, but the developers wanted to finish it and they got a green light if they were able to finish it by the end of 2014, which they did.
