In a series of posts on the official Project CARS message board, Ian Bell from developer Slightly Mad Studios revealed that the Wii U version of Project CARS is probably not happening. According to Bell, the game is currently running at about 23 fps & 720p, which they’re not happy with. Unless they scale down the graphics, Bell said that development will probably shift to Nintendo’s next home console.

Don’t take this as an official cancellation just yet, but this definitely doesn’t bode well for the Wii U version of Project CARS.

Mmmh. Sad but if so - who cares?


Not having a Wii U version isn't that big financial loss - other than the development efforts already put into it - and eventually broken promises to those kickstart backers...


But I hope they scale back the graphics. As long as the cars handle "correctly" many Wii U owners won't mind as they didn't expect graphics wonders in the first place.

Much more important is having the cars console or steering wheel on the GamePad. Imagine a force feedback wheel where you can insert the gamepad AND modify all those cars parameters as in "real life" - more Formula 1 feeling isn't possible. Regardless of the graphics fidelity on the TV screen !!!

I wonder how many times many users said that this would happen? No one should be surprised, it seemed fairly obvious all along.

Ha no surprise there then

Another valuable lesson to learn about Kickstarter.

Won't be it on the other consoles. If they want my money, they will have to furfill their promise.

So what's going to happen to those who backed the game for the WiiU version?

How is this a surprise. They can't even make it stable 60fps on PS4/XBONE (or 60fps at all)

My guess is that they can ask for a PS4 or XOne version instead.
