Kotaku is now reporting that GameStop in the US is following GameStop Italy and has begun telling customers that it is no longer taking pre-orders for the Wii U version of Watch Dogs. The retail chain will begin asking customers whether they wish to switch the Wii U version to another format The rumour broke yesterday that the Italian chain of GameStop were informing those that wanted to pre-order the Wii U version of the game that it’s cancelled. A Ubisoft representative said earlier today that “We have nothing to comment at the moment.”
Update: Kotaku has contacted two GameStop stores in the US that say they’re still taking pre-orders. Joystiq says that the Italian branch of GameStop told them that the de-listing of a Wii U version of the game was an error and reservations will begin tomorrow. Let’s hope Ubisoft lets everyone know what’s going on.
Thanks, LazyAnmtoR
Ubisoft has become one of the main reasons the Wii U has had a bad perception problem.
Fuck.
SickrMNN report this as well http://www.vg247.com/2014/01/24/watch-dogs-wii-u-uk-retailers-still-taking-preorders-ubisoft-responds/
There’s no clarification there that the Wii U version hasn’t been cancelled. I genuinely hope it hasn’t, but it sounds very much like it has.
You need to update this article NOW because there has been news that this may or is an error Sickr, be fast dood
Update with what news?
Update the article because this news is now out-dated because there was an issue and now this article is slightly wrong
Out dated? It was only published in the last half an hour. There hasn’t been any new news on this issue.
Yes there has, check the Kotaku update
Thanks!
Np dood, news updates fast so be sure to have it updated before too many people see it
Done!
nice dood
An error sponsored by Microsoft ;) JK
lol good one
Well companies don’t respond to rumor or speculation, so ubisoft wouldn’t reply(the same happen with COD ghost possibly skipping the wii u activation didn’t reply and others acted on the speculation). Only ubisoft has the knowledge of the games state. Is gamestop only acting based on speculation, or words by ubisoft
That would be a waste of wii u watch dog devolpment money
That blows.
Wow I can’t believe it.
It’s not all bad. Lest we got LEGO City Undercover. 8D
Sickr!! They just updated this article. Go and update it please because this article will catch attention when its false.
Update ASAP
Well hell… this was one M game on nintendo I wanted so badly. Well unless nintendo brings out fusion in the next year or to… I guess ill never get to play any more 3rd party games. Mama mia!
Dood, its still there, it was an error and pre-orders are going back up
Ugh, I really hope it isnt. I was really looking forward to having this game and another 3rd party game for my Wii U.
I hope this isn’t true… I’ll have to buy a ps4 early if this is.
They already said it was simply an error in the Gamestop system, not Ubisoft cancelling the game. *sighs in relief*
Oh come on, this is complete BS. Anyone could easily call their local Gamestop (as I did) to find out if this is true or not. This “news” article needs to be pulled or updated…
Update the article please. Game is not cancelled.
I’m going to pay mine off today to see if so I’m done buying ubisoft
Has Ubi even confirmed the release date of Watch Dogs? Everywhere I read, it supposed to come out in March, but no confirmed date.
some say spring some june, but no release date
Everyone who hasn’t preordered do so now with high enough numbers this won’t be an issue
Guess now is a better time than ever, but I might just pre-order it on PC now, just to be sure I get the game, and the DedSec edition.
Its still for Wii U so you can get it on there still
Don’t worry man, the Wii U version still exists. Look at the update on this website

It’s not cancelled guys! It’ll be so stupid to cancel the best version of Watchdogs; the Gamepad is gonna add an immersion factor so deep and fun that PS4 and XOne’s users will feel super jealous. Plus, IMO, the graphics look a lot better in the WiiU version (according to the screens I’ve seen). So yeah, I’m happy. :)
And the Wii U version will still sell the worst :):):):)
Proof?
Cancelled or not, you dronez wouldn’t care in the end because it’s not Mario, dk, Zelda
#Exposed
Proof? Cause the people in here commenting about it actually want it
They are the 0.0000001% of the future sales of watchdogs
How are you to know? You know nothing of how video games are sold
All the 3rd party game sales on the $cam U speak for themselves
#DontBeADrone
Well that’s not really true, Sonic and All Stars sold well so if that can any game can.
This was allll just one big silly misunderstanding :P
This is really bad! Watch Dogs is one of the most expected games of 2014. And with this problem going on, I speculate that WD is going to be cancelled for Wii U but lets hope it doesn’t.
What da shit is going on…
