Ubisoft didn’t share any official Wii U-specific Watch Dogs assets in the past. That is until today… when the game is launching. You’ll find the first official images above – which even provide a look at the GamePad.

Watch Dogs will finally be released on Wii U this month. Like most games, it will be available at retail as well as on the eShop (for $59.99, of course).

If you opt for the latter option, note that Watch Dogs takes up 17.7GB of space. That information comes from a listing on Nintendo’s digital store.

Also found in the same listing are a few screenshots from Watch Dogs. I don’t want to make too big a deal out of the images though, as I can’t verify that they’re Wii U-specific. When it comes to multiplatform third-party releases, these listings don’t always show screenshots that were taken from the Wii U version.

Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs companion app recently received an update. It is now compatible with the game’s Wii U version, which hits store shelves next month.

By using the app, you’ll be able to play with friends on Wii U (or any other console/PC). Race and Free Ride modes are both supported.

Watch Dogs launches for Wii U on November 18.

An interactive map and off-TV play are two prominent features that the Wii U version of Watch Dogs contains. Ubisoft Bucharest experimented with other ideas, though “some of them just didn’t work.” The interactive map was ultimately chosen as the best option.

Ubisoft Bucharest producer Florin Sanda told NintendoWorldReport, “Our focus was in re-creating the same experience as on the other platforms, while taking advantage of what the Wii U has to offer.” The interactive map will come in handy as “exploration is key” in Watch Dogs.

Ubisoft prepared a few special releases for Watch Dogs in Europe, including the Dedsec and Vigilante Editions. These were originally thought to be coming to Wii U, but UK retailer GAME has now indicated otherwise.

“It is with great disappointment that we can confirm that unfortunately on this occasion Ubisoft will not be producing either the Dedsec or Vigilante editions on Wii U,” GAME said in a recent email sent out to consumers. Those who pre-ordered either of the two versions are now being switched to the GAME-exclusive Special Edition.

For those wondering, the Special Edition seems to feature a bit of exclusive digital content. It includes the “Breakthrough” mission pack as well as the “Vehicle Expert” pack. These sound like DLC items to me (unless I’m missing/misunderstanding something), which makes things a bit confusing given how, just yesterday, Ubisoft confirmed that there are no plans to bring Watch Dogs’ downloadable content to Wii U.

Despite shipping later on Nintendo’s platform, the Wii U version of Watch Dogs will not feature any downloadable content. It doesn’t seem as though any extra DLC will be included in the base game, and items won’t be available for purchase either.

The official Watch Dogs Twitter account confirmed today:

Watch Dogs launches for Wii U on November 18. All other versions shipped in May.
