EA is rumored to have been working on a new SimCity console game in recent years that sadly ended up as a cancelled project.

Liam Robertson from Unseen64 – a site known for digging up game information including games that never made it to market – writes on Twitter that the title would have landed on Wii U in addition to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The plug was apparently pulled back in October 2011.

A prototype was created, though EA did not move forward with the new SimCity console project. It would have released alongside the 2013 PC game.

Wii U was a popular item on eBay during Black Friday, according to the New York Times. The site reports that Nintendo’s console “sold out 4,000 units in less than 17 minutes, with customers snapping up four of the devices per second.”

How were Wii U sales as a whole on Black Friday? That’s unclear at this point. Hopefully we’ll receive some data from Nintendo within the next few days!
