Metro: Last Light was one of the first games announced for Wii U. Despite this, the game’s development didn’t last long at all.

Speaking with SPOnG, THQ’s Huw Benyon said that the team took “a very early took at some very early dev kits.” Although some work was done, “we made a decision fairly early on that we weren’t going to commit further resource to it.” Benyon hinted that the game wasn’t shelved due to technical issues.

“Our look at the Wii U extended to a very early look at some very early kits. We… we did some work on it, but we made a decision fairly early on that we weren’t going to commit further resource to it. So yeah, we didn’t go too far. Take any of the comments you’ve seen attributed with a pinch of salt – it’s certainly not been based on any kind of analysis of final hardware.”

YouTube simply won’t work on the Wii U’s Internet browser at the moment. Videos don’t show a play button any longer – there’s just a big black box instead.

Hopefully this is just a glitch related to the new YouTube design. If not, we’ll all be stuck using the sluggish Wii U app… which lacks Off-TV play.
