Sakurai explains why Wii U owners have to wait for Smash Bros.
Posted on 10 years ago by Kirara Koneko(@KiraraKoneko) in News, Wii U | 18 Comments
According to Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai, Wii U owners have a longer wait over 3DS owners due to the intense debugging process required before the release of a game.
“Checking is done both domestically and overseas, so for a game like Smash Bros., several hundred people are employed.” Sakurai explained. “So, debugging alone becomes a huge project. So much so that one of the biggest reasons for the separate release dates for the 3DS and Wii U versions was so that we could shift the debugging periods.”
While we all await with bated breath for the release on Smash Bros. for Wii U, we do have the 3DS release coming up on September 13 (Japan), October 3 (North America and Europe), October 4 (Australia).

Sledgehammer Games co-founder says Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare isn’t coming to Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 39 Comments
Update: Treyarch isn’t working on a potential port either.
@Oisin1001 no, not on AW.
— Michael Condrey (@MichaelCondrey) August 20, 2014
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is not coming to Wii U, Sledgehammer Games co-founder Michael Condrey has said.
Condrey mentioned on Twitter earlier today:
@1422644 no, no WiiU. That was an Activision decision. We are focused on XboxOne, PS4, and PC.
— Michael Condrey (@MichaelCondrey) August 20, 2014
There is still a small possibility that Advanced Warfare could come to Wii U, as another studio like High Moon Studios or Treyarch would handle the port. But given how we’re already heading towards the end of August, the chances of it happening are certainly dwindling.
