Different situation here, though. Wii U is already confirmed to have a bunch of ports (that people care about) from PS3/360 while the Wii had nothing but Red Steel for that third party "hardcore" space. Heck, unless it's already been denied somewhere (can't recall off the top of my head) it's probably likely that the next CoD game will end up on Wii U around launch. Metro never really had a chance to be the Wii U's "Red Steel" really.
Wii U is the new PS3 confirmedNo one knows how to develop for the wiiU well enough without spending more money or sacrificing quality.
Not really. There's ALWAYS a post-launch drought. It makes any game at or near release attractive. This would have sold a lot of units just based on that.
And people wonder why third parties don't make games on Nintendo systems!Note to publishers, I don't think Wii U owners are going to be looking to play ports on their brand new system. It Namco makes a Super Soulcalibur V and does a Wii U port with Link in it then I could see that being one of the few ports to see success on Wii U.

I guess the difference here is that it wouldn't have been exclusive to Wii U, so the novelty effect that aided Red Steel would be diminished. Unless THQ marketed any new features hard (and, clearly they aren't in a position to do that right now), it likely would not have made a huge impact on Wii U.
So no port > late port? Ridiculous.I believe Xav's talking about late ports, not simultaneous multiplatform releases.
I was saying it would be exclusive to Wii U, since they could have chosen to prioritize that over the PS3/360 - even if they weren't unique due to other core games released, it'd still be a less crowded field than the 360/PS3 release landscape. Games that would be completely overlooked can shine otherwise in this period (see - Ghost Recon, Shadow Wars for a more recent example).
If I were in charge, I'd make the game a Wii U console exclusive. The first game bombed on the 360... it was completely missing from any list in March '10 NPD, placing it no higher than 100k, with innuendo suggesting <50k. THQ later thanked the PC market for making the game a success.I was saying it would be exclusive to Wii U, since they could have chosen to prioritize that over the PS3/360 - even if they weren't unique due to other core games released, it'd still be a less crowded field than the 360/PS3 release landscape.

Welcome to pre-e3 gafSo, months of dancing on THQ's (near)corpse on GAF, but when they say they're cutting this it can't possibly be anything to do with their situation and must be a Nintendo issue?
I guess they moved developement to UE4
Look at PS2 sales and it's third party support, now look at Wii sales and it's 3rd party support. If you're a developer/publisher how the fuck is a system like the Wii with a user base reaching 100 million NOT on your radar?
So here we go again with the Wii U and in all honesty I couldn't care less if the port with a map on the bottom screen don't sell or gets cancelled. Games are expensive and maybe I don't want to support your B team effort on a Nintendo system.
You should be thinking what can we do with the Wii U rather than what can we do for it. You can write all you want about how much the industry is worth these days but I for one miss the old days where it was all about the games and not people complaining about specs.
Welcome to pre-e3 gaf
Nobody on Wii U was going to buy this game anyway since all that sells is Nintendo first party games and Japanese trash
This'll be my sixth E3 on GAF, I think, but this part never seems to get any better... :-/
Nintendo's biggest strength is also it's biggest weakness, they make great games.

I enjoyed the casual racism tacked on at the end. Thanks.
This is just an escape goat argument to say they don't want to develop for Nintendo platforms. If they REALLY wanted to bring their efforts for Nintendo systems, this wouldn't affect them at all.

Because the Wii's hardware is utter garbage that's why. Whine all you want but developers understand that far better than you do.
Obviously you do care judging from the butthurt undertone of your post

The verdict is out on what we can do to maximise the code for the Wii U, and we'll see [what happens]
we just really wanted to focus on what we knew, focus on PS3, 360 and PC,"
Slowly Wii U is turning into just another Nintendo-only platform.
That sound like Wii U is hard to port to.

I think its more a Near Bankrupt Studio cant afford to shift team members to a 4th platforms development at this time

Nintendo really needs to blow the roof off with E3. I mean, they need to announce a huge supply of third party support because this is concerning.
