Neither. Feel indifferent. No one was going to buy it anyway.

I wonder if Sega blames the Wii U install base or their bad game.

It'd be interesting to know the reasoning behind such a decision.
Are Sega also worrying about the slow adoption of the Wii U, or are they disappointed by their own sales on other platforms and thus don't view an additional version as a wise expense?
It might be a bit of both, but there must have been a primary catalyst.

Massively disappointed that ACM turned out the way it did. It could have been a real showcase of the Wii U pad had it not turned out to be a massive turd in the first place.
Thankfully much of what could have been awesome in ACM (especially the idea of having the Wii U pad act as a motion tracker) can actually be found in Zombi U.

Totally don't see this coming !
Well they certainly didn't cancel it because the wii u has a 30 million install base.
Like I said in the other thread when even shovelware doesn't think your system is worthwhile you have a serious problem.

After it released, yes. But up until then, Gearbox (read: Randy Pitchford) was hyping the shit out the Wii U port, promising it would be the best version of the game, and saying how wonderful the Wii U hardware was. And, in a world where positive Wii U news was a precious and rare commodity, a lot of people were taken in.

Sega's other games did really well on Wii U. It's the game, it's practically toxic at this point.
the question is, what changed?

Best Wii U news yet.
Nothing changed.
What shovelware got canceled?

An outsiders view:
Happy because it's bad game based on footage of it. (I haven't played the other console versions.)
Sad because it's one less game for the Wii-U. (I don't own the console.)

I am not surprised at all. Porting the game to Wii U would literally be a waste.
They didn't contact you?

Did Reggie actually write that tweet, or is it a fake account?
If that's the real Reggie, it's a good one, he's won me over this time around!

What's the opposite of pouring a 40 out on the sidewalk for your fallen homeys?
No. None of the outlets that ran that story contacted me. I was pretty peeved about it.

lol, wasn't this one of the first games to be announced as taking advantage of the Wii U Gamepad and all that jazz?
