It's not too "cray-cray" if you don't necessarily care for many of the 3rd party games.. That's not my case though!

Delaying it away from Mario Kart 8 probably would have helped it...if they hadn't waited THIS long. Now it's going to release alongside Smash Bros. It needed to come out during the summer drought of Wii U games. I would have bought it then. I don't have the money to now, not when I have to buy Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, and Smash Bros.

They did not "waited this long", the production was halted for 5 full months for the Wii U edition, from January till May 2014, when the team returned they had to pick up again and it took 5 months, and maybe they used 2 o 3 more weeks for the Gamepad integration. The timing is not good, I agree but there was nothing more they could do.


They could have not halted production, that's what more they could have done. The extra time for Gamepad integration would have landed the Wii U version away from Mario Kart but squarely in the big Wii U game drought following Mario Kart. It would have been perfect, and the version would have sales comparable to last gen versions of the game. Now it's going to be horrific. The Wii U version will have under 100k sales first week, and Ubisoft will blame the fanbase for their own screwups, and never release another mature game on Wii U ever again. It's all their fault.

You still need one to enjoy the PS and Xbox exclusives.

If you're happy with just Nintendo games then more power to you! At least they're saving money.

Or perhaps its your fault for choosing only Nintendo published games for the rest of 2014, even Hyrule Warriors, even though its likely to be as bad as Dynasty Warriors.

That is not a reasonable bussiness decision, when they released a game at the same time as on the other consoles, said title only sold 5% of what the others did, what reason did they had to keep working on the Wii U version and sacrifice more than 90% of the sales just to satisfy an audience that has proven them time and again that they really don't care. You say now that the game will sell only 100k, but if the release was simultaneous it would have sold maybe 200k tops, and as a bussiness man, there is no logic behind getting 100k more sales by sacrificing millions in May.

Without the help of the splitted team the other versions would not have been ready by May, and there is a reason why all the consoles get a drought on summer, people buy less games and consoles, all publishers know and try to place their releases before it (en of may start of June) or after it (september), it is even worse to delay all the versions to a summer release.

Dude, what the hell? How is it my fault? I actually like Dynasty Warriors. You can't say it's my fault Nintendo has poor third party support just because you don't like my taste in games. That makes no sense, not to mention you're basically just bashing Nintendo for no reason here. And I doubt you've ever played Dynasty Warriors for more than five minutes at a friend's. Also the game is releasing around Smash, not Hyrule Warriors, and you can't blame me for getting Smash. Why would I even have a Wii U if I wasn't getting Smash? If you have a Nintendo system, you get Smash and Mario Kart, it's just what you do. Releasing a third party around the release of Kart or Smash is the equivilent of sending your title to die. They could have released it next to the mainline Mario or Zelda games and it would have done better.



yay?



Watch Dog PS4 and PC pre owned has just been reduced to £14.99 in UK!

YES I am sure thousands of people will run to buy a full price WiiU version!

If they blame us once more I will stop buying any Ubisoft products! and I will wish them to go bankrupt!



Switch!!!
