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.  

Ruh-roh

I wondered who was going to have the guts to bring this up in a suitably non-depressing manner!

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.

To be fair they're totally silent on whether the game is coming out at all at the moment.

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.

I think we'll find out for better or worse during Ubi's financial briefing this month.

Wasn't it because someone falsely filed a trademark cancellation under Yves Guillemot's name?

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.

The financial briefing is on Monday, so hopefully all the drama surrounding this will end then.

For me it already has been done, its on Ubi's release list so what more do we need?

So this has been delayed on Wii U.

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.

I'll definitely buy it if it comes out.
I just won't be holding my breath.

I can happily wait for it too & the way wii U's release line up is looking I may well have something to play when other wii u owners won't.

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)

Maybe due for a chinatown wars sequel or something for the Wii U or 3DS
