GameStop Italy recently began cancelling pre-orders of Watch Dogs on Wii U, sparking speculation that Ubisoft had canned the game on Nintendo’s console. Now Kotaku reports that GameStop US is getting in on the act as well.

With Ubisoft being cagey when it comes to providing a comment about the situation, the future of Watch Dogs’ Wii U version is beginning to look a bit dire. There’s still a possibility that this is all just a misunderstanding, but it’d certainly help if the publisher were to clear things up.
