Unconfirmed, but it aint looking so hot...

According to Jason Schreier's reply to his own article on Kotaku:

We heard from a tipster about a month ago that the Wii U version had been "postponed indefinitely." We reached out to Sega, and they denied it. I'll let you guys fill in the blanks there. :)

Also Amazon no longer lists a Wii U version of the game.


:/

Edit:

To clarify again, there's no confirmation of this. We heard it from a tipster, Sega denied it, and today Sega told me they're not commenting on anything.

[StuBurns]

Still the definitive version.

[EuropeOG]

Not a single fuck was given, actually, Wii U owners should rejoice.

[ASIS]

Still the definitive version.

Epic win.

[HanShotFirst]

Wouldn't be surprising considering the reception.

[JasonMCG]

So much for that best looking version stuff, yeah?

[ezekial45]

Still the definitive version.

lol

[udivision]

Does this count as "interesting" Wii U news or "intriguing"?

[iammeiam]

Clearly a ploy by Nintendo to inflate the Wii U software Metacritic average!

Everything surrounding this game makes me sad.

[ShineALight]

Finally, some good news for the Wii U.

[Green Slime]

Still the definitive version.

Amazing.

[Yonafunu]

Still the definitive version.

oh damn

[AzaK]

Still the definitive version.

Precisely. The images in my mind as to what this game could have been on Wii U are still there, and there they will remain. Untouched, pristine, in all their Aliens glory.

[Lulubop]

What a turn of a events.

[Tenki]

The best version, since you can't play it.

[RPGCrazied]

Doesn't surprise me, the shape the 360/PS3 versions are pretty bad.

[toddhunter]

Amazingly the season pass is still on track for the original release date.

[LiK]

game over man

[jerd21]

Still the definitive version.

Yes.

[superchunk]

Based on the final product PS360 received... eh. I'd rather play Miiverse.

[TucoBenedictoPacifico]

Well, that's not one Wii U owners are going to miss, at least.

[Nothing1016]

Nintendo should bring back the true meaning of the "Nintendo Seal of Quality"...... Ban this game from your system forever.

[Johnny M]

It would be the best decision with the current balls up situation of the game.

[duckroll]

I wonder if this means Sega is severing ties with Gearbox...

[Anth0ny]

I get the feeling we're going to start seeing this a lot...

[sphinx]

I can't remember the last time I saw a clusterfuck as big as this.

[SnakeSlashRO]

Everybody wins!

[Projectjustice]

Still the definitive version.

Nailed it!

[Nirolak]

I wonder if this means Sega is severing ties with Gearbox...

I can't imagine either of them ever want to work with each other again.

That said a contractor is making the Wii U version.

[wrowa]

I wonder whether the Wii U version was ever actually in development or if Pitchford just talked out of his ass when he praised that particular version of the game.

[antitrop]

[Des0lar]

What a disaster

[Yagharek]

Thank fuck for this. Great news.

[Desiato]

No one's gonna start a social movement to get this out on the original release date? :p

[GrayFoxPL]

Good news for Wii U owners for a change.

[Patryn]

I wonder if this means Sega is severing ties with Gearbox...

Do you see any scenario where they don't?

[Danthrax]

And the betrayals continue

[Shaanyboi]

Still the definitive version.

Well. We're done here. Have a nice day everyone. See you all tomorrow.

[Johnny M]

I can't imagine either of them ever want to work with each other again. That said a contractor is making the Wii U version.

It wasn't Demiurge studios?

[Resilient]

So which should we expect?

Polished version released in a couple of months with more content and much better visuals + design?

Or no release?

And which is better??

[NotLiquid]

Holy shit, hahaha

[BY2K]

That said a contractor is making the Wii U version.

Is that an affirmation or speculation?

[maquiladora]

So much for that best looking version stuff, yeah?

It looks so good it can't even be seen.

[Porcile]

Oh dear, what a disaster this has been. After the reviews and truly awful impressions I'm kind of glad I don't have to give a shit about this news.

[Jaded Alyx]

Oh well.

[Patryn]

It wasn't Demiurge studios?

Demiurge is the contractor.

[PsychoRaven]

I wonder if this means Sega is severing ties with Gearbox...

I couldn't blame them if they did. I liked Borderlands 1 and their Halo PC port but other then those Gearbox hasn't really made me go wow they're amazing. Even Borderlands 1 I got really freaking bored halfway through.

It just pisses me off to see how this game was pimped and how when released it looked almost nothing like the demos of it.

[NullPointer]

[Stumpokapow]

I wonder if this means Sega is severing ties with Gearbox...

I see one of two possibilities:

1) The Wii U version wasn't ready and Sega is sufficiently scared at Wii U software performance to not want to throw more money into it.

2) The Wii U version wasn't ready and Sega is sufficiently scared at A:CM performance/quality to not want to throw more money into it.

(or both, really)

[Nirolak]
