Yea I figure once they got all those WiiU launch games out they would move one of those teams to Watch_Dogs on WiiU, prob the AC3 WiiU team working on it.

I totally read your initial comment wrong. I thought it said 'is it just me or did everybody else's interest in this game dwindle etc etc', instead of 'anybody else'
'cause I was gonna say I see no evidence that the excitement level for Watch Dogs is demonstrably lower now than it was before, but you clearly meant that your personal excitement was diminished and you were wondering if anyone else felt the same
my bad

The Smart Phone/GamePad integration is pretty obvious. I'm really interested to see what Ubi comes up with. (If anything). I wonder if they have a team separate from the main development group working on GamePad features?
Maybe it will get its own Nintendo Direct treatment? Maybe Nintendo moneyhat'd an onstage demo at E3?
Who knows...

Going from recent trends, probably outsourced to some C-tier external dev.

Is it really a debacle though? It's too bad it was delayed but I consider it a good thing that people on the PS3 and 360 will be able to play it.
Besides the WiiU has ZombiU, and that's good enough for me!

Here's one I just wondered about; think Firebrand will port/redo Trackmania 2: Canyon on Wii U? Ubisoft would likely publish it since they now own Nadeo I think?
I guess Ubisoft didn't publish the first on Wii since that was commissioned before the buyout and Focus Home took care of that.

If the games are worth it I say listen to this!! Show your Wii U support. Also NFSMW coming. I am thinking of getting it also based on how the game is shaping up on Wii U. Will wait for the final version though.
who said anything about gimmicks.
Being able to have all the control functions of the gadgets on one screen instead of scroll wheeling through button pushes is already a hell of an upgrade
Has a Wii U SKU for Watch Dogs always been on Best Buy's site? Cause if not, it's there now: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/WATCH+D...7767211&skuId=8500088&st=Watch dogs&lp=1&cp=1

Sad, but true.
However, It would be cool if they shipped it over to the Zombi U team to work on GamePad stuff.

Pretty stupid to expect that launch window titles are going to exploit new hardware.
I really never saw the appeal of this game. Other than it's graphically impressive, but that's just because other than SW1313, it was the first next-gen game announced.
I think people should reserve their hype until we actually see it at E3 or whatever.
As for a Wii U SKU, seems like a no brainer, it's PS360 anyway.

This is a very ambitions expensive game, Ubisoft is not gonna risk putting this game out for 720 and PS4 and High end PC with such a small install base.
ZombiU was an exclusive for WiiU but that game didnt cost too much to make.
You wont see too many 720/PS4 only games until fall 2014, expect a lot of cross gen games at launch (PS3,PS4,360,720,WiiU,PC).

From all these leaks and the post from Harker, I assume this is going to be made official soon.
would it have really given advantage to Wii U if it was announced earlier? The game still wouldn't have come out for a year, most people still wouldn't have even got to see it before it started being advertised on commercials as having GROUND BREAKING NEXT-GENERATION VISUALS™ (to say nothing that the original reveal video made it pretty clear it was a next-gen game), and the current Wii U owners still would have virtually nothing to play for months and months.
What Wii U needs is some original content that you can't get anywhere else, designed for the system in question, but I think the ship is sailing on how much longer things can stay the way they are without those games being announced before it's too late to save the system

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Something I noticed from that page...
The main character was named after a programmer's kid. "Aiden" was not a common name at all until very recently. Very few adults are walking around today with that name...

It's a bit "slower" than your typical third person modern day game.
I think it's highly promising but highly overrated from the little we have seen but when something looks different(no matter to what extent) from the current trend of the day, people think it's magical.
If there is really going to be a third party Nintendo Direct in the next few weeks (I know there is a Japanese 3DS one this week), I think it would be a fair guess to say it might be officially announced.
No it has not wow, UBIsoft mustve just send all this retail info too stores, Watch_Dogs blow out must be coming soon.

Ah, ok. Man, I could wind my watch to those kinda posts and never be late for anything for the rest of my life.

Let's say it could have helped to fight this reallly bad feeling that the WiiU is more following the current gen in its death than making a step into the next one. In term of third party at least.
I will, so that's one purchase there.

Yeah, well that's besides the point. I and the other Nitendthings at least like having the option not to buy it. Thanks UbiSoft.
Good stuff.
It looks like it could be an excellent game so the more people who get a chance to enjoy it the better.

Shown again Wednesday at the Sony thing, press release to follow soon after listing all platforms except the new Xbox because it hasn't been announced yet.

If Nintendo really wanted to try and siphon off some heat from Durango and Orbis, they'd pack this game in with a Wii U premium along with 3D Mario and sell it for $20 less than whatever Orbis and Durango end up selling for.
I bet every time they talk to Nintendo Iwata just happens to slip in a Just Dance reference and coughs "you owe me".

It looked like it was going to be on new and old consoles, so yeah add it to one more old console and try to make all the money you can.

OP, you do realize that most game companies list every major console while the game is in development, heck they probably even secure licensing. They do this just in case at some point the game does go to a particular system.
Also, Gamestop simply lists stuff for random platforms all the time that way if it comes to that platform they have everything already set.
Not saying it isn't coming to the Wii U.

US stats for a primarily Irish/Scottish name? Well, I never!Something I noticed from that page...

Don't be slipping on me now Gahigiddy, we need you in top form on the 20th.
I don't really think Nintendo can do anything about what price the game comes at. They'd have to convince Ubisoft, probably with huge incentives, to do that, and I doubt they'd take such a chance on an unproven IP... plus that Ubisoft would probably consider it a form of 'devaluing' the brand, when they're trying to release and establish a fanbase for a huge new property.
Just doesn't seem a terribly likely scenario
