There have been rumors of a possible cancellation of the Wii U version of Watch_Dogs, due to the (then retracted) cancellation of pre-orders at GameStop, but today Nintendo released the official list of upcoming games for its consoles, and if you check under “third party” on page seven, Watch_Dogs is indeed not there.

It’s worth mentioning that the list does include games that still don’t have a firm release date, likeBayonetta 2, LEGO: The Hobbit or Ubisoft’s own Child of Light.

Last week both Nintendo and Ubisoft declined to comment on a possible cancellation of the Wii U version of Watch_Dogs, so we should take this with a pinch of salt until an official announcement is made, but if you’re waiting to play Watch_Dogs on Nintendo’s home console, the chance that it might not happen exists.

It could have been interesting, but i doubt it would have done very well.

"the news was an error.

From tomorrow the product will be prenotable in GameStop Italy stores "

GameStop Italy

"We can assure that this item is available for pre-order and you can place the order. We have not received any confirmation from supplier about cancellation.

So, you can pre-order for Watch Dogs – Nintendo Wii U."

Amazon

GameStop Italy and our U.S.-based source have both said that this was all a glitch in the system and that Watch Dogs is—or will soon be—available for pre-order for Wii U again in Italy and the U.S.

Why cancel so late. I don't get it if it's true.

The alleged cancelling rumor was confirmed to be a system error and apologies were presented.

I would say the most likely scenario is that the game (for all platforms) is gonna be delayed again. Possibly pushed to a september release so they can showcase it at E3 again.

We all know it will be a disaster without a fall release.
