Seems like it wants to compete with smash brothers now instead of mario kart? Seriously ubisoft why bother?


Yeah, best of luck for Ubisoft! Then they will complain like crazy about how poor the sales on Nintendo like "Deeerrrp!!! I knew it!! I should've not to release my game on Wii U, what am i thinking! Deeeerp!!"

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.



Woo hoo!!!! All this wait for detailed map and off t.v. play. Can you say shitty cheap port 3times fast?

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.

Still getting it. Those who say the interest died off weren't the ones interested in it in the first place!

I disagree. I was interested before the game was released. It showed a lot of potential, particularly with how the gamepad could have possibly been used for the hacking side of the game. I was most interested to see if proper usage of the gamepad could have made the Wii U version the definitive version of the game despite the PS4's graphical advantage.

However, I've already played it now. It was average, and the hacking was dumbed down to a single button press, so any hope for a more fleshed out experience on the gamepad was gone.

That is a huge delay... I doubt anyone will buy it 0.o

Im a Wii U only owner so i will be buying Watch Dogs. Delayed or not, it is still another good game to beef up the Wii U library. Ubi might lose out on sales, but for Wii U fans it is a nice alternative if they fancy playing something M rated.


People like you exist? You plan on getting a PS4 later? 

Count me in. I still don't have a PS4 or Xbox One.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

No they are not, production was STOPPED all together for 5 months (Jan-May 2014) as the team was splitted to make the other versions reach the May release date as those were also behind schedule, after the other editions the development team got back together in June and Ubisoft was thinking about cancelling the title, but finally they decide it to give it an opportunity and release it during the holidays when the sales of the console improve.



By the time this comes out the PS4/X1 versions will be half price. Who is Ubisoft kidding though? No one is going to buy this.
