I'm stoked that the Wii U is (probably) getting this game, but at the same time it's a bit sad that one game being ported to the Wii U is considered a big deal...

Excellent news.
Edit: If true I hope it get's confirmed soon-ish.
Miyamoto: There is a game that I'd like to see on the WiiU.
Iwata: Which one ? F-Zero U?
Miyamoto: No not that.
Iwata: (laughs)
Miyamoto: I'm being serious. It's Watch Dogs - from our good friends at UBI.
Iwata: But we have Nintendogs. We can put a U at the end and bring it over.
Miyamoto: (laughs)
Iwata: (laughs)

YES. I loved getting good at it to the point where taking over warehouses became a one man job.
So more and more confirmation bits for this. I would love a good gamepad implementation (and it has a great potential for it). Depending on this I will buy it on Wii U or PC. Or maybe both if it is really a great game.
Edit: and I am happy with NFSMW level of graphics on Wii U. And I hope for that or maybe a little more, given the information provided by Ideaman. I know that Orbis version will look definitely better, but even so will be the PC one.

Like in any field of media, where the developer is aware of segmented platforms, different standards, formats and ways of reproduction, a professional works around them.
If you as a filmmaker can't create a film that can be watched on a crummy, small ass TV and still be fully enjoyed, you are a very bad filmmaker. This applies to making videogames.

I just want to ask people with Wii U to watch the e3 trailer thingy of this in HD on the Wii U gamepad. WOW!
I did it for ground zeroes too and WOW A Fucking-gain.
I'm getting it on PC, but I do feel that games are able to scale better (to address Amirox's topic-within-a-topic) than many other forms of media, as the thrust of a game's appeal isn't cemented only in the visual and audio. Do those help? Sure. But standards of what is 'enough' varies from person to person: To some, a game lacking some of its visual flair (present on other systems) is fine; to others, it isn't and is clearly limiting the creator's vision. Others, irrespective of that issue, are simply budget constrained.
EDIT: On second thought, this relates to films also; eg. the whole DVD vs. Blu-Ray thing, in which some absolutely refuse to watch anything unless it's on Blu-Ray, while others don't care overly much.

I think that makes sense. I doubt a third party game would make such revolutionary use of the GamePad where you'd want to sacrifice visuals to that degree. Unless you really love Off TV Play (I do). There's also nothing else wrt Nintendo services on the Wii U to be a USP either.
They are, but I think it's pretty certain that Orbis/Durango would look a lot more like that demo than the Wii U version would so if someone was interested in the game because of the visuals then they'd probably be served better with the high end console version (Assuming no PC of course)
I agree, it was great.
As a multiplatform owners, I'm not so obsessed about the multiplatform supporto for the Wii U. I'd surely prefer exclusives as Zombi U or Lego that seems to use properly the Gamepad; but among all the multiplatform titles we will see in the future, I admit that Watchdogs is one of the few that I'd like to see coming to the Wii U hoping for simple but interesting Gamepad features (as for Rayman Legends, that shows a lot of interesting uses for the interface)
In addition, I'm simply loving also the Offtv features, so...let's hope this is true.

I hope this is true, everyone knows the wii u needs as many 3rd party games as it can get.
Well it is on Amazon, Best Buy and Gamestop.. So WiiU Sku confirmed imo..
After seeing the demo, I'll be buying the PC version.
Possible good news for WiiU though.
I play my gaming rig (PC) from bed with a wireless controller. Flat-screen is on the wall across from the end of the bed

If Watch Dogs does not come out on Next-Gen systems (though it probably will), I am 100% getting the Wii U version on consoles. I have a gaming PC, but I'm not sure about the specs of Watch_Dogs yet, so I'm holding off on that until later on.
You should revisit my post history and take a look at the PC I've built as well as the games I've been playing, I've mostly been playing exclusives, and I rarely discuss games I play on my PC (which, I would classify as pretty high end [2x680gtx]).
As a console owner, if a game is multiplatform, then it should behoove the publisher and developer to put the game on as many platforms as can run the game,
since i have a WiiU (which my kids Love) i'm happy that a game that is supposed to be multiplatform IS multiplatform...and includes the WiiU.
if Watch Dogs is a Good game, i'll buy it for the WiiU i have AC3 COD ZombiU Tekken TT and several games for the system. good games i'll buy, BAD games, i'll let my wife buy.

If Watchdogs uses the gamepad properly I'll be getting it for Wii U.
It's a no brainer.

Great news. I was hoping this would come to Wii U.
I'm thinking maybe it is going to be unveiled tomorrow for PS4 and then Wii U.

Amazon.com too now BTW.
Tomorrow. The creative director is in New York.
Gamepad implementation is nice, but....
What about Miiverse? Watch Dogs could be increcible with in-game Miiverse integration. You could use your Gamepad as almost a tablet in-game to send out emails to other players about tough missions, secrets, heads up on enemies, etc etc.
