It's too bad because even if the WiiU version was just as awful or worse I'd still at least rent it to have the alien motion tracker in the palm of my hand.

It had great potential on paper. The gamepad could have functioned as the Alien Motion Scanner.
We have ZombiU already.
Not worth the effort.

They're afraid it'll get lost in the deluge of Wii U games. Expect a 2013 Holiday release.
That sure is a definitive thread title! I said we heard it from a tipster, not that I know it for sure.
On the other hand, this just happened too: https://mobile.twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/301845314543947776

This thing is probably gone.
The game is shit and third parties are running from the WiiU like the plague.

Itagaki basically did this back in the Xbox/PS2 days.

Either that or the game was such a buggy POS it couldn't pass Nintendo's lot check procedures so they gave up on it

Hey, this kind of explains Pitchford constantly talking up the Wii U tech.
He was just going by what others were telling him!

I call it good news.
It's unfortunate that Wii U lost another game, but given the horrible reception the game received, it really makes little sense to continue. Based on the many impression out there, game would need a tremendous amount of overhauling. It makes no sense putting the developers through that development torture only to be eventually faced with the ole "polishing a turd" cliche, for their extra spent labor.
Sadly, this may be the best decision. The damage is already done. Those involve can move on, and hopefully learn some lessons from this.

This is one WiiU cancellation fans can rejoice in.

Kenji Eno, after a fight with Sony about D (Sony had told him the manufactured 40,000 units but they only actually did 28,000), held a press conference in Japan where he announced all future support would go to the Saturn. The TV screen behind him showed a Playstation logo morphing in to a Saturn one and then Eno proceeded to stop on a Muumuu mascot doll for over a minute on stage.

Think they'll pull a NG3 on us? That's take many months though, and Demiurge isn't THAT great IIRC.
If they still release, and let's face it, no one would give a fuck if it wasn't after the way it turned out, but if it does come, a nice amount of reworking would be appreciated.
Or just use that money and time on BL2 for Wii U. But T2 won't want to allow it.

Man,
This is just ...catastrophic
And now we get to wait who knows how many years before we get another chance at the IP (and no, I don't want to play the damn 2010 AvP marine campaign, okay?)
This sucks

This will have to do, an interview with Eno a few years ago.
It bears mentioning that Eno is actually rather crazy. He retired from the industry for a while because of it.

Ouch, hahaa
Potential that never sees fruition?
It seems that the amount of polish ACM needs to be a good game is considerable.
As such, no release is the better option.

Y'know what sucks. THEY WERE FINALLY RECOVERING FROM THIS!!
The last few years, they produced some quality games like Binary Domain, Sonic Generations and All-Stars Racing Transformed. Sega put a ton of money into promoting this game including midnight launches at GameStop all while trusting Gearbox. They got screwed and now their reputation is shot again. As a Sega fan, this sucks.

Good enough, thanks.

Nintendo Direct tomorrow to be an announcement of the cancellation:
Reggie: We did our utmost to protect our customers.
Essentially.
It was one of the first things I thought when the gamepad was unveiled. I guess ZU scratches that somewhat....but its not the same.
