In a series of posts on the official Project CARS message board, Ian Bell from developer Slightly Mad Studios revealed that the Wii U version of Project CARS is probably not happening. According to Bell, the game is currently running at about 23 fps & 720p, which they’re not happy with. Unless they scale down the graphics, Bell said that development will probably shift to Nintendo’s next home console.

Don’t take this as an official cancellation just yet, but this definitely doesn’t bode well for the Wii U version of Project CARS.
