Someone noticed it in the Nicalis thread. Only for PS4 and XBO now, it seems?

What a fucking shame if so. Was excited for this... I wonder what they're going to do for backers?

Noooooooooooooo !

It was so perfect for those platforms =(

Spiral Insanity · May 11, 2016

Can we blame Nicalis for this? What is up with them?

MulderYuffie · May 11, 2016

What no PC? This isn't good....

Honestly, I think it's a fair assumption considering how bad their track record has been, especially recently. That's the story I'm going to believe until we hear otherwise..

Instantly my first thought.

The Giant · May 11, 2016

Oh get fucked.

I will be so happy, the day Nicalis goes bankrupt. What a shit and incompetent company they are.

Meesh · May 11, 2016

WTF.

So much for reliving fast times in the 90's, bummed am total...

Enter the Dragon Punch · May 11, 2016

oh by the way this is the first update the anyone have given on the game in 6 months

it also means linux, ios, android ports are kaput as well

Guess Who · May 11, 2016

Wii U cancellation sucks, but, let's be real, it's at least kinda understandable.

PC cancellation doesn't make any sense.

pastrami · May 11, 2016

Wait, what? No PC? I can understand Wii U, but PC? That seems...odd.

Glowsquid · May 11, 2016

fun fax: In the last update on the Kickstarter page (published on November 1), the developer claimed "90s arcade racer's development [is] coming to an end"

OrbitalBeard · May 11, 2016

People successfully fund a Kickstarter for Wii U and PC versions.

Nicalis cancels Wii U and PC versions.

Seems reasonable.

LOL

DragonOfWisdom · May 11, 2016

I can see Wii u, but why PC? I feel like it would probably sell better there than Xbox One.

@MUWANdo · May 11, 2016

Did the developers announce this anywhere or is this another instance of people learning things second-hand from Nicalis?

Also, why does Nicalis' site have an "angelcomm" URL?

Diablohead · May 11, 2016

Watch it not come out in Europe either.

Takao · May 11, 2016

Did they lose their domain name or something? What is that website? Why does it list PS2 as a platform? Why does it say a PS4 game came out in 2011?

technically true as it is now 90s super GP

Besides the fact that it was originaly kickstaerted as a wiiu game, it is the perfect moment for indie games on wiiu since they don't have to compete with big nintendo games being released

sixteen-bit · May 11, 2016

imagine the shock if this wasn't nicalis

Corpekata · May 11, 2016

It's a Nicalis site. They generally don't handle PC versions of games. It's probably self published there.

Seems likely this is just what versions Nicalis is putting out. There's no way they're cancelling literally the only two platforms involved in the KS and porting it to two others.

Ezalc · May 11, 2016

Oh for fuck's sake.

kagamin · May 11, 2016

Fuck. I don't own either of those systems, nor do I plan on buying them anytime soon...

That's exactly why I pounced on the recent humble bundle.

Bizarre call on both counts. Wii U owners are thirsting for games, and the demand for a non-Mario Kart racer seems pretty real with the constant Diddy and F-Zero requests. PC is PC. Makes no sense.

That date's for the 3DS version.

The website looks incomplete and sloppily made, so it suits Nicalis just fine.

James Scott · May 11, 2016

Unless it got overhauled, the Wii U build seemed finish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpjHlBvTCck
I can't imagine a PC can't handle it either

epmode · May 11, 2016

Nicalis really understands the nostalgia factor! PC players have to wait for emulators to catch up, just like we did with Daytona.

AlphaTwo00 · May 11, 2016

Hmmm, I had to look up whether I had backed it. Turns out I didn't. I'd be pissed if I had backed it assuming it was on the Wii U and now it won't come to it.

Wait, yeah, there's a second Nicalis site. And this one's last blog update was in 2015. I'm gonna go have a look at the archive and see if this is old and fucked up or what

Edit: No, they keep their "new from nicalis" thing updated on here, so I don't think it's just a mixup with their old site... and 90s super GP seems never to have been an old name for it?

this is weird considering it's listed normally on their main site

fernoca · May 11, 2016

Wii U cancellation seems fishy, since they would've notified the backers by now. After all, it was pitched/kickstarted as a Wii U game. Maybe there's something else.

EDIT:
Yeah, seems the site is not the right one and just fucked up. Main site still lists Wii U. Who knows.

AmyS · May 11, 2016

jhmtehgamr20xx · May 11, 2016

And PC? Damn. Wii U cancellation doesn't surprise me, but this is the first time I've seen a pretty modest-profile indie game skip PC on the initial release.

If anything wouldn't the PC market be more receptive and open-arms to an arcade racer, especially noticing how racing games have been performing on consoles as of late?

Corpekata · May 11, 2016

The main Nicalis website lists it for PC, Wii U and "other game consoles" still.

Spring-Loaded · May 11, 2016

did PC get arcade ports in the 90s?

Maybe this is just for accuracy to the era

Glowsquid · May 11, 2016

for what it's worth, the site listed on nicalis twitter's bios is http://www.nicalis.com/index.php#, it was updated today and the game is still listed under the 90's Arcade Racer name and original platforms on http://www.nicalis.com/games.php# (bottom left)

RM8 · May 11, 2016

Kickstart WiiU game, cancel WiiU version, lol. And no PC is just nuts.

Sega did quite a few arcade-to-PC ports that were pretty good for the era.

yeah, it's weird - especially as i can't find any evidence this isn't a new (as of april 29th) addition since it uses the "super gp" title, suggesting it isn't old

I feel sorry for the tallented dev who agreed to work with them, he would have most likely done better solo.

catmario · May 11, 2016

If that's true and if they changed to NX version, I would understand for cancel WiiU version. But cancel for PC Version is absolutely bad thing.

Oersted · May 11, 2016

Fellow journos, could you contact Nicalis?

HUELEN10 · May 11, 2016

Day 1 Xbox One.

I did some more sleuthing and according to http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,129851.msg1511996.html#msg1511996 , one of the last kickstar backer update had the 90's Super GP name???

chaosblade · May 11, 2016

Expected it to simply be canceled outright, and was going to say that wouldn't be surprising.

But a platform change? Suuuuure.

MacTag · May 11, 2016

Shown with the new title at a Nicalis event last week? Did anyone go?

https://mobile.twitter.com/i/status/728388167254953984

Bunch of other games too: Creepy Castle, Tiny Barbarian DX, Ittle Dew 2, Full Mojo Rampage and BOI Afterbirth.

There we go. It's 90s Super GP now. Meaning it's cancelled for Wii U and PC :/
