When was it ever good to be a Wii U owner...

You could have at least expressed it gently with softer euphemisms lol Poor Wii U only owners. :/

Never intended to. I'll let myself get permabanned before release :P

You should thank god I rigged my own bet against me, this is Wander_'s sig after losing to me (Minutes before his permaban :/)

I expect nothing less from you.

Oh you!

I don't care about MP, but I'll definitely get this game for PC after these news.

Arrrrr!

Welp, that was on the edge of my radar, but not anymore.

Still buying for Wii U. Never was interested in it for multiplayer. It is a great franchise, and I want to support it on a Nintendo system.

Splendid. Another great franchise ruined by multiplayer.

this is completely unacceptable, i was planning on buying this after playing the WiiU version of arkhim city but NO now.

aside from Ubisoft western developers from major studios and publishers shit on Nintendo for years - don't forget these are the same companies that were flooding the Wii/DS market with NOTHING BUT SHOVELWARE JUST TO FINANCE DEVELOPMENT OF PS360 GAMES, that didn't make money in the first 2-3 years of those platforms being on the market.
and even the franchises like Lego games that were quality games were still severely dumbed down on Wii/DS despite the fact that Wii versions REPEATEDLY would outsell all other versions COMBINED.

Ubisoft which had the highest quality games(and budgets as far as western publishers) on DS/Wii revealed that each project on those platform would cost them ONLY 3mln$(for DS) and 5mln$(Wii) - and that's for BOTH development and advertisement COMBINED. to this day original Red Steel is the most expensive 3rd party game on Nintendo platforms with a 14mln$ budget(it includes development and advertisement) while ALL big budget EXCLUSIVE to Wii AND WiiU projects cost between 5-8mln$ overall(even original Epic Mickey had supposedly between 10-12mln$ overall budgetand that was heavily advertised).

Batman Arkham City sold nearly 250k copies despite being full priced port of year old game and as Ubisoft confirmed WiiU ports cost between 500-900k$ so within first week of release this game was already PROFITABLE.

this isn't the case of no userbase - this is the case of publishers(and developers) actively punishing Nintendo for not following MS and Sony by paying them money for exclusive DLC, advertisement campaign and for delaying release on other platforms etc.

the only difference between now and Wii days is that publishers now are so arrogant that they don't even hide their Nintendo hate.

Wii U version gimped to some degree I guess for people who care about online multiplayer.

Would be happy if they included a local multiplayer mode instead.

Well this will be a PS3 purchase for me anyway and maybe a Wii U bargain bin purchase if the game is good.
