I was looking at Nintendo's release schedule for 2014, and noticed that Project CARS was included only in the eShop section. Wasn't this game supposed to have a retail release?

Plus what do you think of the release schedule itself? It's pretty empty, just digital and third parties.

I always assumed it would be digital. It's just a really big indie game.

I never heard that this game was going to get a retail release, would be awesome if it did.

Yeah always seemed like a digital game to me.

Not the best lineup though.

Well would be kinda hard to make a mistake with just 11 WiiU retail games on the list..

I thought it was a retail game..

I remember hearing it was retail, but it could be another title. Been living under a rock for the past 6 months!

Looking at the 3DS side, it's getting Tetris from Ubisoft... okey~!

I knew the game was digital for a long time. I'm still waiting on Wii U screens and videos. I know the closed community has access to seeing that.

Was definitely a digital game, especially considering it's "indie", and indie developers generally save a TON of costs on marketing and print materials by going digital only.

Seems like this will be a rather large download.
