| That's pretty poor news, I was looking forward to this quite a bit. At least it frees up a bit of money for a new 'puter, mind. |

| To be honest I wasn't getting on Wii U but PS4.
But I've lost all interest in this with the delays and that, when went into GAME & asked to preorder this. I was like Nah not bothered, they weren't really shocked either they've had a few people cash there deposits in.
This should of been coming out now, if it comes out April I would aspect there be games I will want over this now. |

| I'm not fussed about the delay, I'm still excited for it and would rather it had the extra few months of polish than be rushed out as a massive pile o' crap. |

| It's looking like folk can pre-order this at GameStop again (so say multiple people on twitter) it was probably a case of someone mistranslating something.
It'd be nice to have confirmation from Ubi though. |

| Seems like there was a glitch in Gamestop's computer system, affecting orders in both Italy and the US, but bizarrely nowhere else..... Hmmmm.....
And now Amazon pre-orders of the game are increased. LOL.
All this drama has actually got me re-hyped for the game. |

| Ubisoft still are totally silent on whether this game is coming out or not for Wii U. I'll definitely buy it if it does, but I'd be amazed. |

| I thought all this nonsense was cleared up? Anyhow if its not why would Ubi confirm or deny it when they have a LOT of folk talking about their game.

| Yep and the GameStop Italy glitch before that, I'm absolutely convinced Ubi are using it it to retain people's interest in the game. |

| Personally, I'll be amazed if it comes out at all. This whole thing seems eerily reminiscent of Aliens: Colonial Marines / Metro: Last Light. |

| I did think the same or if it does come out and it sells about two copies as it's been available to buy on 5 other systems (also likely cheaper by the time wii u version comes out) for a while & then ubisoft moans it sells only two copies on Wii U etc. |

| I've seen a few folk saying similar things to axis & I just don't get where this train of thought is coming from (that we wont ever get it) for one Ubi's support has been a LOT better than the devs who worked on Alien: CM & Metro in fact it's night & day by comparison.
Does it suck that it won't release the same day as the other versions? Yes. Should we be in a raging fit about it? No.
Maybe just maybe there's a lot of other factors we just don't know about the wii U version (which to my knowledge has never been seen in public) the game is being simultaneously developed on 6 different platforms, that has to take its toll & perhaps the wii U version was in the worst condition.
One other question, do you honestly think had this released alongside the other versions it would've matched their sales numbers? I don't & its for one reason, most buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games.
(Side note: yes, I'm aware this decision to delay will affect the sales of wii U version) |

| We know that the Wii U's architecture is fundamentally different from the PS360 and the - er, do we have an abbreviation for the current gen yet? PS4One? - that. Ubisoft need to make money as soon as, so it's easy to see them diverting resources from the Wii U version to the ones that will make more money. As Jas rightly says, Nintendo fans are not likely to invest in Watch_Dogs anyway.
As a card-carrying Nintendo fan, I might. |

| Sad news about it being pushed back again. Regardless, I'll still be picking it up when it launches. Although am I the only one that's hopeful that GTA V will still appear on Wii U alongside the PS4One versions? Rockstar could easily afford to bring it over to Wii U after the profit they made on PS360. |

| Hmm....... Rockstars relationship with Nintendo is just plain odd, it'd be nice but I don't see it happening. (Still don't see them doing a ps4/XO version either) |
