I figured even if Ubi started to drop some Wii U support, they'd go ahead and release the WiiU version. Assuming it is cancelled, I'm betting the delay, combined with the recent WiiU sales figures is what did it in. If Watch Dogs had been released last year, the WiiU version would have happened as planned, but having to delay it and apparently do a significant amount of work to the game overall, made it hard to justify continuing that work on the WiiU version. Might as well move that much needed manpower to the more important SKUs instead of wasting opportunity cost.
The first pressing of the game is called Day 1 edition. Many games had that last gen.

I don't see why Ubisoft would do that now.
A year ago? Sure. But now? Why?
The only thing that would make sense to me is that they have severe problem with the game and need every ressources they can get on the main versions to get it done in time. So the scrapped the WiiU version because thats the one that hurst them the least.

Licensing all those U2 songs is expensive.
Month 28th
Day 2nd
Think they will ship to the states? ;-)
A timed exclusive would be hilarious would it be bayonetta level of meltdown?

Isn't "No comment" a bit concerning? Couldn't they have just said "Yeah, it's still coming"?
Europe, how does it work?
One day it gets cancelled, on another it gets a release date. Wtf is this

I wish Ubisoft would just tell us one way or the other. It's like they're purposefully trying to sabotage a Wii U release, if it still is coming to the system, by refusing to answer; I wonder if anyone has cancelled their preorder for the Wii U version because of the news.
The person they called was probably reading the NeoGAF thread and didn't know what to believe anymore.
I know, I know, just an atemp to joke
Now, if Gamestop would have wanted to troll, they should have had as release date February 29th.

I forgot there was even a Wii U version to cancel.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
You have to be more ambitious than that. Free season passes for all Wii U owners.

Nintendo assuming risk for its third-party "partners"? Stop making sense! Too bad Iwata and his team won't do it. I think there's a firm belief within Nintendo that it's still powerful enough to succeed without third-party support and doesn't need to do any wooing.
I think that third-party publishers would be willing to give WiiU more time of day if Nintendo dipped into its Scrooge McDuck-like reservoir of cash and made it worth their while. Be a true partner and earn back some of the interest from other game-makers. Nintendo doesn't/shouldn't have to fund everything, but kick a little money in. Share a couple of in-house experts to help with development. Make a real effort to help get the word out about third-party games.
That won't happen. Third-party pubs will continue to be distant, now and for future Nintendo platforms, until Nintendo catches lightning in a bottle again and has a Wii type of success again which basically forces publishers to step up if they want in on any of that success.
Nintendo isn't who it thinks it is anymore. Until the company realizes this, it's going to essentially be Nintendo versus the world.

It's not ridiculous enough. The Wii U version should have an entire district based on Yoshi's Island. Touch fuzzy get dizzy in Chicago son
You must be mad, ZombiU was great. Did you even play it? Even the multiplayer I played alot with my friends.
I want a sequel.
Which also makes much more sense. Same goes for the metric system.
As an American, that image made me LOL. To be fair, the yard isn't even frequently used as a measurement - it's more common to speak about how many feet per mile.
And if you want to add a little more to the silliness, there are 16 ounces to a pound. And 8 ounces to a cup, 16 ounces in a pint. Whose idea was it to use the same word to describe both a weight measurement and a liquid measurement?
I guess at least we don't talk about how many stones someone weighs.
lol.
zombiU has multi? hmm maybe I should check it out, as now i'm curious
I said this same thing earlier it will take a culture change at Nintendo. It doesn't matter how many systems they sell they still need to make an effort to cultivate a profitable development platform for third parties. Because clearly their laissez faire approach has failed them, even when they had a 100 million unit machine they still got poor 3rd party support.

The person using the Gamepad is the Zombie Master and he places zombies with different abilites, etc... strategically on the map to stop the player using the other controller from accomplishing a goal.
It's actually quite interesting but I never played it myself.

1 litre is 1 kilogram.
The former is a liquid measurement. The latter is not. So yeah.
(Also that's not completely true. 1 litre of water is 1 kilogram, while 1 litre of gasoline weighs a lot less (~0,75 kg or so))
Every measurement system has its quirks. The metric system just has less of them
It is true, they really do use those units in america.
Sounds like its not cancelled now. Good to hear.

You mean 1 litre of water weights 1 kilogram. But you don't use them both to compare them.
lol, I laugh because is truth perhaps.
I really had absolutely no interest in Watch_Dogs anyways, but if this is true then, I just don't know what. Nintendo...
The player with the gamepad place zombies in the map to try kill player 2, you can drop different kind of zombies once you reach certain level, player 2 uses either Wiimote + Nunchuk or Wii U Pro Controller to control the survivor. It's actually pretty fun, but I can't get used to the Wiimote I lost signal when I reach the screen borders, I prefer using Pro Controller.
Beaten!
Yeah! That'll show 'em!
...what will it show them?
For what it's worth, I was in the 'probably not cancelled' camp
thanks for the info
Which also makes much more sense. Same goes for the metric system.

And the ride continues. Just another month.
Wait, in the pyramids, why is the month section larger than the day section?

North American GameStop still has all versions listed at the 6/30/14 release date. At least it was the last time I checked it five minutes ago.
Canadians use everything. So accommodating, so annoying.
Though really everyone will be using yyyy/mm/dd soon enough.
Sure. Why not. No problem.
(It's not like the Wii U version will get any DLC content anyway!
