GameStop Italy, GameStop US say Watch Dogs Wii U cancellations were due to an error
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
And so the Watch Dogs Wii U cancellation saga has, thankfully, come to an end. GameStop Italy and GameStop US say that the whole situation of pre-orders being removed was due to an error in its system. The game can be reserved once again for Wii U, and there shouldn’t be any confusion from here on out. I have no idea why Ubisoft didn’t just come out and say that the game was in the works from the get-go, but at least we finally have an answer!

GameStop US gets in on the Watch Dogs Wii U pre-order cancellations
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
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.

Dakko Dakko says Nintendo has been “tremendous to work with”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Dakko Dakko lead designer Rhodri Broadbent has spoken very positively about the studio’s experience working with Nintendo and the Wii U hardware for Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails’ creation.
In an interview with ONM, Broadbent commented that Dakko Dakko has “found Nintendo to be tremendous to work with, and very supportive of Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails right from the start.”
Broadbent also shared a few remarks about developing for Wii U. He said that the recent report from an unnamed developer, which essentially blasted the console, was “out-of-date information and needless negativity around Wii U development.” Ultimately, he feels that “bringing your game to a Nintendo system should be about taking advantage of the toybox of possibilities they provide you with in terms of the controllers, the two screen setup, Miis, and so on.”
Be sure to head past the break for Broadbent’s comments in full. You can also find ONM’s full interview here, which includes comments about developing for one platform and more.

GameStop Italy seems to believe Watch Dogs has been cancelled for Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 20 Comments
The release of Watch Dogs on Wii U may be in jeopardy.
GameStop locations in Italy have been telling consumers that the game will not be available for Nintendo’s platform and are being advised to move their pre-orders to a different version. Additionally, the retailer is says Ubisoft cancelled Watch Dogs on Wii U. It’s supposedly no longer in GameStop’s database as well.
These tidbits don’t come straight from Ubisoft, but there is still a reason to be concerned about Watch Dogs’ status. Has Ubisoft truly canned the Wii U version?
Thanks to Timo for the tip.
