I have an idea for those who were planning to get this, but have been put off by Ubisoft's actions.

It so happens that Nordic Games has decided to release a new run of the physical version of Darksiders 2, and it has just released (according to NeoGAF people). When THQ and Vigil Games made this game, it was a late release, by necessity (the other versions released before the Wii U itself did). What's more, while they did release it at full price, while the others had already dropped significantly in price, THQ made up for it by including the DLC in the game itself.

Sure, some of the finer details were weaker than the other versions, but we can comfortably put that down to early Wii U issues. What matters, though, is this was a game that had its Wii U version handled right (considering delays and earliness), and Nordic games made it a point to keep the game on the shelves after buying the rights. While Ubisoft are clearly thumbing their nose at Wii U owners, Nordic seems to be welcoming them.

So I say, reject Watch Dogs, and let's everybody (that didn't already get Darksiders 2 for Wii U) go and grab this title, instead. Not only will it be cheaper (especially factoring in the inclusion of DLC), but it'll also be beneficial - heck, maybe Nordic Games will make the next Darksiders available on the Wii U, too.
