Watch Dogs will be hitting all platforms on May 27 – except Wii U. Ubisoft has said that the game will arrive on Nintendo’s console at a later date.

So when can we expect Watch Dogs on Wii U? While not an official confirmation in the slightest, Ubisoft’s own Uplay store lists a “Fall 2014” launch window. Make of that what you will!

Update: An apology has been issued:

Those comments were made based on a conversation I had with the developer who’s been working on the WII-U version, he was unable to get the console to perform anywhere near what the xbox one and ps4 were capable of. I was misinformed in that I said the ps3 was far more powerful… after speaking to him again, I was told that while the system still does not compare to XB1 or PS4, I was incorrect in regards to the ps3 comparison, and for that I apologize.

Original: FarSight Studios announced its intentions to bring The Pinball Arcade to Wii U many, many months ago. Even with countless delays, the game has still yet to arrive.

One fan asked about the status of The Pinball Arcade on Wii U through the game’s official Facebook page. Unfortunately, the entire conversation eventually resulted in some notable bashing of the console.

After a separate fan (writing in the same “conversation”) mentioned that the Wii U is about as powerful as the PlayStation 3 if not more, The Pinball Arcade dev responded:

The wii-u, we assure you, is nowhere near as powerful graphically as a ps3.

And after some exchanges, The Pinball Arcade Facebook account ended up writing the following:
