GameStop Italy Telling Customers Watch Dogs Wii U Canceled?

Italian Nintendo blog Wii Italia is reporting that GameStop stores across Italy are telling customers that the Wii U version has been cancelled by Ubisoft. The rumour originally came from one of their readers who tried to pre-order the game at multiple GameStop stores in Italy, so the site decided to ring the stores and place pre-orders but were told that Ubisoft has cancelled the game on the platform. Hopefully Ubisoft should be able to clarify what’s going on with the Wii U version of Watch Dogs over the next few days.

    1. IKR!
      This game will be epic on WiiU! We must pray for this not to be true!
      All Though i’d be pissed if it happened i wouldnt be too surprised that it would skip WiiU. (but it musnt be true!… this game will be the one of my first WiiU games!)

      1. You haven’t bought a game for the system? Shows how much you support the Wii U & developers wasting their money porting games that nobodies going to buy.

        1. “One of my first games”
          Considering this comment infers that he may have 1 or 2 other games, I’m sure his Wii U isn’t collecting dust.

    2. i hope it’s not true, but my friend working at gamestop told me that several third party games that were going to come out for wii u are no longer in gamestop’s records, watch dogs being one of them. when my friend asked his manager what happened to those games, the manager said that gamestop had to take them off the list by order of the publishers, and no other explanation was given to gamestop by these publishers. they presume the games have been delayed or canceled. i have a bad feeling that they are canceled due to wii u’s low sales.

      1. learn to fucking grammar first.

        now crawl back to yer other five year old pals of you and have a go at CoD you piece of shit sony/xbox tards

  1. This is obviously not true. Ubisoft would get slapped SO HARD! They’d be done… finished. I am getting Watch Dogs on my Wii U and that’s final!

    1. I would agree with you, but they made Rayman Legends for PS3 and Xbox when it was supposed it to be Wii U exclusive. It would have been a big selling point for the Wii U…

        1. indeed. I wasn’t mad about the delay. I was mad that it was also being released for PS3 and Xbox. I bet the Wii U would be selling a bit better if R:L was exclusive to the Wii U.

        2. indeed. I wasn’t mad about the delay. I was mad that it was also being released for PS3 and Xbox. I bet the Wii U would be selling a bit better if R:L was exclusive to the Wii U.

    2. Yeah, and tell me what exactly would happen to them?1000 people would bash them for a few days and so what, the game would still sell millions of copies

      1. I’d fly down to Montreal or whatever Canadian province it is that they are in and bitch slap them myself!

  2. Sickr just wondering, what do you mean by ” Hopefully Ubisoft should be able to clarify what’s going on with the Wii U version of Watch Dogs over the next few days.” I mean are you inferring that they will? o.O

    1. Ok, nice. By the way I called Chuck Norris and he told me that all this coordinated bashing on Nintendo is because of an extremely butthurt NWO ideology that didn’t like Nintendo not being part of their evil plan. Just saying…

    1. yes that was totally surprising considereing they completely gimped the game on the wii u removing content and delivering a completely buggy game

        1. Shut up, idiot! I’m not buying bad and/or old ports of any game and that’s what almost all 3rd party games for Wii U are!

              1. Yeah, or you can put it wherever you wanna avoid people calling you out on your bullshit. But like you said, everywhere you can.

              1. This vid is not for you !
                Dont pay attention …
                Its just what you said ! Thats all … It reminded me this vid !
                Im agree with you !

        2. that’s it’s just your imagination ;)

          i consider myself a nintendo fan and i do buy 3rd party games.. in fact i have bought many of ubisofts games for the wii u
          so much for your theory

        3. You’re pretty much right as a generalisation. Maybe if third party games weren’t so shit that would change, but why would you buy a third party game for Wii U. The best 5 games at least are all developed by Nintendo. Hell, it’s even worse on 3DS, where probably the best 20 games are all developed by Nintendo. Luckily for them, they don’t have to compete with Nintendo on the other consoles.

        4. Nintendo made Assassin’s Creed III and IV, Tekken, ZombiU, Need for Speed, Splinter Cell, Scribblenauts Unlimited, and Sonic Lost World?! Wow, and I thought I had been buying third party games, but they were Nintendo games all along!..

        5. The irony of that considering I got Rayman Legends. AC4, Batman Arhkam Origins. NFS Most Wanted U, Darksiders 2 for mine. And you’re the one saying we don’t buy 3rd party?

      1. how fitting because then i won’t acknowledge theirs either

        and i’d be very surprised if i were the only one to do that.. not after what they pulled with rayman legends which already had a lot of gamers pissed off

          1. Ill pick it up used at GameStop in a bit so ubisoft gets nothing. Tired of their lazy “support” of gimped or ported games.

          1. does yer mouth hurts with all this shit yer spewing around?

            i bet you don’t even own a wii u if you din’t see tbe rayman backlash on miiverse

          2. too bad because the consumer dictates the market and i wouldn’t have been be the only one to do that

            your input on the matter is neither necessary nor requested

  3. If this get’s cancelled on Wii U nintendo is really going to need help getting 3rd party developers because its makes up for majority of gaming not just mario and zelda.

  4. I’m Italian but i don’t think it’s true even if a lot of us have called the shops and they said that’s WD was deleted on WiiU,

  5. Ok so why would Ubisoft cancel the game now when they already lost money on porting it even if it bombs on wii u they would still get some money back out of it and dont forget that after the whole Rayman Legends delay reaction they with this they would pretty much killing any possible future games on a Nintendo platform

  6. The Wii U is for babies so it wouldn’t be a surprise if it actually true that it was cancelled. And if this game does get released on the baby Wii U, to get an online game going on this all 5 people who will buy it on Wii U will have to get online at the same time lolololol.
    Anyways, Ubisoft already has stated that this game on Wii U looks closer to last gen systems (ps3 and xbox360). http://mynintendonews.com/2013/10/08/ubisoft-talks-watch-dogs-for-wii-u-explains-its-closer-to-current-gen/ That statement was said before the real next gen systems were launched.

    1. All I’m going to say to you is the online bit with Watch Dogs is going to be lame. A friend of mine who got a PS4 and is getting Watch Dogs said ” I don’t get how the online part works, while I’m playing my game people can be in my game and hack me and fuck with me? I don’t like that at all.”

    2. its for babies? then why is there more adult based games then kids games on wii-u you know what is for babies the xboxone lmfao what a piece of shit console now thats a babies toy. all you dumb fucks do is buy defective consoles and swear its the best thing since sliced bread.lmfao how many burnt out xbones and ps4 will you buy this gen. lmfao dumb fucking lemmings!

    3. fuck yer so hardcore that i pissed my pants!!!!

      holy shit mr armchair warrior don’t kill me with yer pixelated fantasy, and fake gore , violence!!!!!

      man i weep everytime i see five year old bastards thinking they are macho men because they played cod/bf/ or any other shit fps/violent game……

      if this is the future of mankind……’gulp’we are screwed

    1. Futile effort. Nintendo’s afraid someone’s going to make a flip note of people have sex or something. Flipnote died with letterbox/swapnote.

    1. Most of the Wii U features are being used for the real ‘next-gen’ systems. Using Xbox Smartglass & PS Vita. Also, tablets will have a Watch Dogs app. So, the Wii U features aren’t very special tbh.

      1. If they aren’t “real” special that why are the so-called “real” next-gen systems using them?

        I mean if you are gonna troll at least TRY to make sense.

        1. You drones say the Wii U is next-gen.. It isn’t. Next-gen comes in term of power not how new it is. That’s whats the gaming industry says anyway.

          1. You “next-gen powah” retards are killing my brain cells.
            I really fear for the faith of humanity, when every generation is more like a degeneration.

          2. you sony/xbox shitheads are buying inferior machines…..PC fucks both the ps4/xbone …..

            but then again kids only play with PS4/XBONE since yer daddy won’t build you a true gaming rig

      2. Seamless integration vs swapping between tablet and controller or cramping your hands on portable console…
        Your choice.

  7. I say bullshit…cause it cost one million to port for the WiiU, and Ac3 and AC4 was profit for Ubisoft on the WiiU. AC3 230k, AC4 at this moment 120k, those games are profit for them like you see.

  8. Might as well. Everyone else craps on Nintendo for no good reason. I knew it wouldn’t be long for Ubisoft did.

    Stuff like this doesn’t bother me anymore because these companies couldn’t be anymore transparent with their agenda’s. What bother’s me is Nintendo not do anything about it like buying 3rd parties that WANT to be bought by Nintendo to become 2nd parties and thus rendering 3rd party support null and void. If they really want to go at it alone (and at this point it seems like they don’t have a choice) their are very easy ways to go about it.

  9. Just clickbait, no doubt. And people wonder why I want to become a worker in the animation movie industry or become a indy developer.

    Because I would prefer to not be a part of all the 3rd party crap.

      1. oh ok, I missed it the first part of it. I got VERY confused cause it looks almost exactly the same. I guess I didn’t see that you sited it

        idk how tho

  10. Hope not for everybody !!!
    But If its true … Ill take a PS4 !
    WiiU is already dead anyway …
    And the Fusion is not here before years away …

    1. Wii U had its best month in sales for the US (or maybe North America) selling more than 500K since its launch and they sold another 600K or more in Japan. Yes they sold over a million that month not counting Europe, Korea, any other country that might sell them.

      Its really not a dead console. If the press wasn’t so down on it, it would easily be in 2nd place over its life time.

    1. Hey, you can’t do that! You can’t actually post FACTUAL information with a LINK to a CREDIBLE source. That goes against the dude-bro gaming site code! We all know that anonymous sources are the Gospel truth never to be questioned or criticized.

      :)

  12. I’m not surprised… Man I really hope this is not true but let’s be honest this game will sell more on other consoles it really hurts to say this but that’s how is gonna turn out to be :'(

  13. Ubi practically launched the WiiU single handedly. Nintendo brought the Calvary too late.
    It would suck if this where true, but they’ve put more effort into the WiiU than Nintendo, so I’d understand.

    1. Unfortunately Ubisoft forgot to ‘LAUNCH’ the Wii U with the game that gave everyone their first Wii U experience to start with.

      Postponing a finished game for nearly a year certainly cannot be glossed over. They have no room to point fingers. They are just as greedy as every other company.

      And Nintendo didn’t bring the cavalry “too late.” The people who are buying Wii Us now are the people that would have bought Wii U has the games that are available now been available then. People that aren’t buying Wii U’s now (that know about it) still won’t buy Wii U’s later when all the bombs have been dropped. The Wii U has twice as many games and better quality games than the PS4 and yet the PS4 outsells the Wii U week after week.

      Society has degraded to the level of people having being successful trained to value hype over substance.

  15. I don’t think it’s cancelled, but if they cancel the wii u version, I wouldn’t be surprised. I hope that’s not the case since I was hoping to buy this game

  16. If this is true, third party on the Wii U is completey dead. Wii U will sell less than the GameCube, and that’s pretty damn sad…

  17. I have it pre-ordered and payed off for Wii U…(Im in Canada) No such rumor has popped up here…I cant see Ubisoft just saying sorry its gone, no more Wii U version. Its the only Ubisoft game I have any interest in, I don’t support Ubisoft, so if this comes true well I have no respect left for them.

  18. As far as I’m concerned, who cares about games like this? But for the Wii U’s sake, I hope it’s a false rumor. It’s getting REALLY old with how the Wii U keeps getting ignored.

  19. I want Ubisoft to have the grapefruits, THE BALLS, to tell us that in front of the many Wii U Owners who forgive them from the Rayman Legends delay outrage…after all, that is the reason why we are getting Watch Dogs. They better not mess this up or they have forever gained the ultimate hatred of all Nintendo fans (and I suppose Nintendo itself) and won themselves worst gaming company than EA.

    If it happens, glory to god, Miiverse Uplay will explode.

        1. “oh man, you are so right, you changed my mind and i will stop this because someone on the Internet thinks I’m annoying” said noone ever

          you will have to do better next time

  20. THATS GOOD, THATS WAS A GOOD DECISION BY UBISOFT SINCE SPLINTER CELL AND AC4 SOLD LIKE CRAP.

    GOOD JOB UBI SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

  21. I will be majorly pissed if this happens. This was my number one most wanted game of 2014 so far. Ubisoft better not do this. I fucking hate the situation Nintendo has put it’s fans into.

      1. SVENSON PART DOS MEXICANOS!!!

        I THOUGHT YOU WERE TROLLING TOO CUZ YOU WERE SAYING YOU GLAD THIS GAME AINT CUMMING TO THE STINK U!!!

  22. I want them to cancel it so that they can make my gradual abandonment of triple A games much easier.

    Hey, the Zero Escape games are holding me up just fine.

  23. hopefully not, if it is than good thing i just got a Alienware 17, i’m no PC elitist but if I have to I will play Watch_Dogs on this. >.>

  24. i doubt that its true or ubisoft will lose its faith as a company and fanbase, whether is pc or consoles/handhelds, people would slowly stop supporting the company. i dont mind delays, hell if they delay the wii u version so they can do more polishing then fine but cancelling would make nintendo end their relationship with ubisoft. btw ubisoft isnt relly stupid enough to cancel the wii u ver. they think by doing it would make the fanbase hate them. plus i think italy has something against nintendo so they may be spelling some bullsh*t about this “cancellation”

    1. They are pissed because Nintendo made people think of Italians as fat, pasta eating, moustached, immigrant manual workers… who jump on people.

      1. fucking cunt moron ubisoft is french you piece of shit disgrace of subhuman go play with yer fellow degenerated sony drones

  25. seriously i hope this is not serious !! ill buy this game on wii U , the game seems amazing and i dont care about other console so i want to play this game on wii U !!

  26. HA HA HA EL OH EL IF THIS GAME GETS CANCELED FOR THE $CAM U NONE OF YOU FANBOYS WOULD CARE, ITS ALL ABOUT DAT MARIO

  27. i hoppe its not canceld.
    but since one year, i make jokes of it, that i it will be delayed, delayed… and then canceled.
    its just the way of Wii U.
    every game from 3th parties gets canceled. its not the first time.
    its prety sad or just a way to be on the news for commercials.

  28. Greed (by these third parties) and past mistakes (by Nintendo) may be the poison that kills Wii U. What a shame. They really are the best game company, but they ignore the people who want to line their pockets (logic?). The stupid third parties are gonna cause a gaming crash because they want to make interactive movies with micro transactions, not games.
    It’s a crummy situation all around.

    1. Could see THAT happening tbh. Might not be worth the production of all the extra stuffs. But will still keep game/special edition version or whatever.

  30. To everyone saying “I dont buy 3rd party games anyways!?” that is the reason the wiiu doesn’t have 3rd party support. Idiots.

  31. Not true. After checking their website I am not sure that they can be trusted as it seems like they won’t be selling every version of the game in all platforms. I believe that they have decided not to sell a version of the game in wii U (D1 to be concrete) there is the link http://www.gamestop.it/WiiU# If you put it in your basket and you review your order it will appear the word “cancelled” in Italian beside it. But the “Vigilante” version can be preorder as normal. see link http://www.gamestop.it/WiiU/Games/32021/watch-dogs-vigilante-edition I noticed absences in PS3 and Xbox 360 version so again, not to be trusted.

    This site should only publish “serious” news about Games and Consoles and stop contributing to this nonsense against Nintendo. No more patchers, no more anonymous sources… it should be more about real news and no gossips. How cool would have been if instead of posting this “thing” you would have posted your investigation about it (ie requesting information to Ubisoft directly, Gamestop, etc) and then write us back real findings, real news.

    Nintendo news?

    Seriously…

  32. The thing is… first this looks like another nonsense from media (nintendo haters? Yeah probably most of it)

    Second and even more importantly. Why? Why when I have just read a nice interview of ANOTHER indie developer who is bringing 2 games to Nintendo eShop in the future (one of them look really nice, see “master reboot”) again, why are we contributing to this Nintendo doom nonsense from here? See, this indie developer clearly stated that are trully happy with Nintendo, the Wii U console and its unique features offered by the gamepad. They also confirmed that they will continue working with Nintendo in the future.

    Nintendo and wii U, for so many reasons (some are bad, some are good) it is little by little becoming an indie paradise for the looks of it. Are this type of news avoided here on purpose?

    I guess they are eh…
