They underestimated how hard it is to make a Wii U port.  That Doesnt mean I think their conduct has been porfessional either.

If Nintendos next Consol has a PowerPC type CPU.... it ll be this gen all over or worse, next gen for nintendo.

*Crosses fingers for x86 or ARM, APU next gen for nintendo*

Please tell me where you've heard that it's "crazy hard" to develop for.

Didn't Nintendo just say that NX would not be at E3 a few days ago? :/

Think they've been saying it won't be shown during 2015 since day one. But yes, they may have mentioned it again recently which makes this comment even more unusual...

This is just depressing.

The Wii U just can't seem to really get any of these third party games, which is a shame, and it's pretty awful for the people who backed up the Wii U version as well.

It doesn't look to me that are confident at all.

We're awaiting/hoping for more of a hardware announcement at E3...

...Honestly, unless we really cut the looks back I think we're looking to Nintendo's next console.

...I suppose if they don't announce something at E3 or soon after we will have a go at it.

It was pointed out to Bell that Nintendo's stated there'll be no 'NX' hardware announcement at E3, and he clarified further.

...We could reach a fairly solid 30FPS [on Wii U] but it might take a hell of a lot of work. On the other hand, about halfway through us finishing, Nintendo might announce a new console (I have zero knowledge on this BTW but I've heard 'rumours'). Our work might just be the best thing that ever hit that new console in the driving sim genre.

So we're playing a waiting game at the moment and yes, economics do come in to it.

1.
SMS didn't get 'all their money' from Nintendo fans but most feedback to a stupid survey. Meaning actually nothing.
It's like when we had a 'best game eva' election on our site and all Shenmue fans worldwide voted for Shenmue. No Zelda- Halo or CoD-fan from outside even noticed it.
Most PCars backers AFAIK came from the PC-corner.
2. That game was announced for PS360 as well. Both couldn't really handle it because of lack of feature level..
3. Got a Wii U and actually like it. But Nintendo put way to less CPU power in it. That is something we've had over and over again.
The GPU is basically DX11 like feature level, but by far not as GPGPU optimized like GCN. As well it actually isn't a beast.

Yes, SMS promised a Wii U version. No, 99.5% of possible Project CARS owners wont give a shit ever, no intent to annoy anone, basically that is a fact.
Yes, Wii U will get one third party game less, so there's Just Dance, one other LEGO and some licensed shovelware.
No, this is not 'all lazy devs fault'. That is basically Nintendos fault. Because they made many, many wrong decisions from the start. That is basically Nintendo fanbase fault. Buying some virtual console stuff over and over and over again instead of investing in indies and thirds.

SMS' fault is some marketing BS talk. They should have said 'Wii U version looks great in still pictures' or something like that.

i think necros are illegal now so i'll just leave this here.

They promised a PS3 and 360 version as well, but as their ambition and scope grew the weaker hardware had to be cut. The PS4 and X1 can barely hold when the game is firing on all cyliders and from what has been said about the Wii U (specifically its CPU) we should have seen this coming from miles away. There is no secret sauce, not anymore, no one is under any illusions about what these machines can and cant do. They could get it to run at 30fps (in theory) but they would have to downgrade the graphics and maybe tone down on the weather and car counts. But then the game would becalled "gimped".

I suppose confident is the wrong choice of word. A better choice might be "hopeful". Either way they don't sound particularly enthusiastic about the project; "I suppose we'll have a go at it" sounds like they're doing it to fulfil backer obligations rather than by choice.
