Good grief. And that, after an extra 6 months? They may as well not have bothered...

there was no extra 6 months


Oh yeah, my bad, it was an extra year.

Original release for all platforms including Wii U scheduled - Nov 2013 as reported Here

Every other platform delayed 6 months - May 2014

Wii U delayed a further 6 months - Nov 2014.

Sure, they may have paused the Wii u development for a while to at least get the rest out by May, but still, they took extra time, citing that they wanted to get it done right as the reason.

 

So, you really belived they were working on it all that time?  Because iirc, Ubi were one of the first to get dev kits, and Watch Dogs was one of the first games announced for Wii U.  I think they were close to completion when they put it on hiatus and shifted that team to work on getting the other versions out the door.  By then it shouldn't take a big team to get the Wii U version out the door.  Besides, I doubt it'd require much effort porting the X360 code and make adjustments, since that's what alot third party devs seemingly did.
