Rumour: Project VAN Spotted For Wii U And Available To Pre-Order At Target

project-van

A possible new Wii U title has been spotted at US retailer Target. A listing has appeared for a game titled Project VAN which we have heard nothing about. It could be a simple mistake, but with E3 fast approaching there’s the possibility that the game could be announced during Nintendo’s E3 Digital Conference.

Thanks, Paidenthusiast

            1. How do you figure? Sony is still in the red and their stock is rated ” junk status “. If the Playstation brand was making them money why are they still selling off other sectors of their business not to mention their buildings, studios, and whatnot? And btw dumbass the Wii U is being sold at a profit so even if it isn’t selling the way that Nintendo wants it to they’re still making money off it……..asswipe…smh

                Exactly Nintendo is like making one $1off the Wii U because its worth one dollar because its a piece of shit as I stated in my initial comment. Fucking stupid!

                1. Where’s your link that says Nintendo is only making a dollar off the Wii U? Please show me………

                    Where’s your link that says Sony only has a dollar in their bank account? Please show me………

                    1. It was a figure of speech asshole. Sony is suffering financially though and that’s a fact

                        Yeah your “figure of speeh” was clearly based off my first comment
                        Duuhhhhhhh!

                  2. The real question is, why are you buying PS4 games when you can get most of those games in better quality on a PC. Everyone knows that PC is far superior than any old PS4 consoles.

                    Batman Arkham Knight
                    Skyrim,
                    Battlefield,
                    Wolfstein,
                    Mortal Kombay X
                    Assassins Creed Games, (and mostly any Ubisoft games at this point)
                    Grand Theft Auto 5,
                    Witcher 3,
                    Diablo 3
                    Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition
                    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
                    Dark Souls 2: Scholars of the First Sin
                    F1 2015
                    Project Cars
                    Duke Nukem
                    Dragon Age: Inquistion
                    Alien: Isolation
                    Bloodborne
                    Final Fantasy 15 (Rumoured, but most likely)

                    Not to mention the games that will never prolly go to Consoles…

                    Granted the Wii U is not a powerful system, it does offer games I am unable to get anywhere else.

                    Smash Bros
                    Mario Kart 8
                    Bayonetta 2
                    Wonderful 101
                    Splatoon (because that demo was actually really fun)
                    Xenoblade Chronicles X
                    Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
                    Lego City Undercover
                    Hyrule Warriors
                    Rayman Legends (Far better game w/the gamepad)
                    Zombie U (Yes, that game is amazing)

                    And you’ll prolly say those are kiddie games too.

                    1. Naw. The real question is, why are you hiding behind PC gaming? Wii U only gamers aren’t getting those games. PS4 only owners are. Just because the games are better on PC doesn’t change the fact that they are still on the system.

                      1. If I’m not mistaken,weren’t you the one that wouldn’t shut the fuck up about saving to get a ” top of the line” gaming pc. My guess is you couldn’t afford one

                        1. Please learn to read. Am I hiding behind PC gaming? No. I own a PS4 and yes I can afford a PC for your information. And that’s what I’m doing.

                        2. I am sorry, if you could not understand the answer to begin with. I guess you misunderstood. If it wasn’t obvious to you, the real answer is, because PC is better in all graphical areas. Plain and simple. I will allow you to take a few minutes to wrap that idea in your head.

                          It is also a known fact that Nintendo puts more time and effort in their “kiddie games” to make sure one gets a full fun package. They do not have to stoop down with silly micro-transactions implemented in their games nor feel cheated about paying $60+ dollars and only receiving a 5 hour game via The Order: 1886 with little to no gameplay or have games shoved out so quick that it is more fun to watch the glitch fest a game has, like Assassins Creed Unity.

                          I have PC and Wii U as my gaming console(s) of choice. So not only am I getting the better quality games that PS4 “would” have, I also have great quality games that Nintendo offers as well.

                          I also would like to point out that Sony has little to no IPs for themselves and have 3rd party create games for them in order to make the console viable. Nintendo has more than enough IPs that everyone likes, enjoys and love to play. Even if it is rehash of a well known character.

                          But I digress, I will let you have your little written comeback in your hopes to really hurt my feelings so I can feel so bad about myself playing PC and Wii U. Boo Hoo.

                      2. Ok, first of all, I wasn’t talking about the quality of games. I don’t care if you like Nintendo games more. My point is that not every Wii U owner also owns a PC so you can’t speak for everyone.

                        1. I am sure everyone has a PC of some sort, unless everyone lives in the dark ages of the early 90s.

                          Plus, I never said everyone has a PC/Wii U game set up. I do. What you are trying to do is put words in my mouth (or in this case, my post). In my HUMBLE opinion, everyone should own at least a good gaming PC to play the better games on them as opposed to the poopy PS4 that acts as if it wants to be a “real PC” but in actuality its more like old tech from 5 years ago.

                          Bwhahahaha

                          Please tell me that wasn’t your sad attempt to make me feel bad. I a more sadomasochistic than that.

                          1. I’m not trying to make you feel bad. I really don’t care. But you need to remember that everyone has different preferences. Some of these Wii U fans couldn’t care less about PC gaming or PS4. And while I do agree that everyone should have a gaming PC as well to have the best experience, that’s just my opinion. I am perfectly fine with my PS4 and I am saving for a gaming PC. So I don’t see what your problem is. I will not be buying a Wii U anytime soon but I can respect those that play the system.

                            1. I’ve wanted a gaming PC before the PS4 was even announced. I just couldn’t afford it back then.

                          2. So how’s Arkham Knight doing on PC…
                            (FYI, I’m actually a PC player with a last gen console and no axe to grind..)

                      1. Anubis, Son of Osiris

                        Yeah it was but it became a small profit at march of last year. As long as a game is sold with the console then its a small profit I believe.

                    2. Granted it is making money, but in actuality, it is barely keeping the company afloat. One of their biggest shareholders want them get rid of (Sell) their mobile production, Sony movie, music & home entertainment and sound production to actually start making any real kind of money. To many hands in the pot of honey.

                      They need to stop making handheld systems and cut their losses for the Vita itself as well.

                      http://infogr.am/sony_profits_and_loss_by_division

                      with the 13 mil + they have made with PS4, they are still loss about 800 million dollars in debt from the last quarter.

                2. you’re lame, target pre order for video games cost 1.00 there, same with fred myer, some places 5.00 so fuck off

                  1. Anubis, Son of Osiris

                    Obviously its a placeholder, but I’m just saying that that’s how much the Wii U is worth… You guys need better reading skills

                    1. Anubis, do me a favor and act more of the dog that you are or go back protecting the dead that the PS4 system is.

                        1. You mad bro? Awe, I am sorry, maybe I should add a muzzle to that snout of yours. Good pets should behave like pets…. do me a favor go lick your butthole or chase your tale.

                          1. Anubis, Son of Osiris

                            LMAO! You calling me a pet? I have tricked you guys for my own amusement so many times. You fanboys are pets to me. Be glad if I even spit in your direction.

                            1. Oh you tricked me…. I imagine you are more of a lap dog these days..

                              LOL.

                              You funny bro…

              1. I know this is jumping the gun but what if the word ” VAN ” that’s on that sticker is an abbreviation for ” Vanquish “………you know the Platinum Games 3rd person shooter that was on the Xbox 360 & PS3? In a Bayonetta 2 developers video, they kinda hinted that they have another project in development for the Wii U. I’m not saying it’s a 100% true but it seems interesting plus there was also an rumor on the same French gaming site that leaked the Devil’s Third Wii U exclusivity that said that Nintendo rescued 3 3rd party developed games that were dead without a publisher on either one of them so it could be……..just a thought

          1. Yet another example on why several store employees these days are highly incompetent or stupid. Reminds me of a similar mistake when a Gamestop employee had mislabeled “Kirby Aer Ide” in a Gamestop that used to be open in my neighborhood.

          2. People do realize that these labels can be pretty much made by any employee with access to their printer, right? Hell Ive change part number in the warehouse I work at before.

            Ive label some stuff:
            Shequeef Salot
            And priced it at
            $69.69

            Needless to say, I’m not allowed in the computer room anymore.

          4. Sorry to burst the bubbles, but Project Van is a code name used for “Guitar Hero Live” so a SKU could be made before the game was announced. If you scan the tag, it is tied to the Guitar Hero Live pre order cards. If a store is up to date on their planogram, you’ll see them in place already.

            1. And where are you getting this info. I half think your joking, and your comment makes no sense (No offense of course.) I think it’s a project cars where you drive vans.

          5. this Bitch Retro talking about Wii U exclusives not on ps4 lol what a joke, every game released on ps4 isnt on Wii U, so ps4 has more games available then Wii U

            1. I never said they had all the games on the Wii U. PC, baby… PC..

              Bwhahaha

              you must be mad bro that PC is better than PS4??

          6. Honestly I don’t like coming down to the comments anymore because of thos 3 people who just keep spamming troll posts. Goodbye MNN comments then!
