Delaying it away from Mario Kart 8 probably would have helped it...if they hadn't waited THIS long. Now it's going to release alongside Smash Bros. It needed to come out during the summer drought of Wii U games. I would have bought it then. I don't have the money to now, not when I have to buy Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, and Smash Bros.

They did not "waited this long", the production was halted for 5 full months for the Wii U edition, from January till May 2014, when the team returned they had to pick up again and it took 5 months, and maybe they used 2 o 3 more weeks for the Gamepad integration. The timing is not good, I agree but there was nothing more they could do.


They could have not halted production, that's what more they could have done. The extra time for Gamepad integration would have landed the Wii U version away from Mario Kart but squarely in the big Wii U game drought following Mario Kart. It would have been perfect, and the version would have sales comparable to last gen versions of the game. Now it's going to be horrific. The Wii U version will have under 100k sales first week, and Ubisoft will blame the fanbase for their own screwups, and never release another mature game on Wii U ever again. It's all their fault.
