Jason Schreier of kotaku: "We heard from a tipster about a month ago that the Wii U version had been "postponed indefinitely." We reached out to Sega, and they denied it. I'll let you guys fill in the blanks there. :) " 

 

Been saying this well before the game was released. Yet Nintendo fanboys still refuse to admit to the obvious by clinging to the liar Randy Pitchfork's words that the wii-u version will somehow be the best (despite still no actual gameplay footage nor screenshots).

Seems plausible, and by the looks of it, they wouldn't be missing out on much.

Post proof TC instead of creating dumb threads bashing a console for a terrible game that is being developed on it.

This is probably for the best. Less of a chance of more people playing a craptastic game.

Unless Demiurge managed to fix half the game whilst they were porting it I doubt anyone will mind. Except for the company of course, who will basically be another casualty in this fiasco.

well if the game is apparently as bad as ppl say it is then nothing of value was lost. With that siad it is rather sad a I suppose if true. This is most likley Kotaku being attention grubby whores with their aritcles as usual.

I think this is a blessing in disguise for Wii U owners. Spend your cash on something more worthy.

Wii U should want any games it can get. Aliens has to be better than that lame zombie game.

They will really have to do something to make the Wii U version sell.. They will probably still release itand some people will still buy it.

In this case a trash game is better than no games...

Dead Space 3 has the same or higher average depending on the platform and people rail it like it is terrible.

So what? People on the internet are f*cking idiots that think anything not rated 9/10 is a complete pile of crap, and then go on to trash review scores as being meaningless and stupid whenever something they don't like gets a bad score. ZombiU was one of the most interesting launch titles I've ever played even if it wasn't perfect, I had more fun playing the multiplayer on my own and just spawning zombies to shoot than I did during the entirety of Aliens.

people rail on it because they don't like the direction the developers took with dead space 3. Colonial Marines is a game that clearly shows it went through development hell and is lacking in quality. There is a difference.

Remember Alone in the Dark? It first got released on 360 and PC (PS2 and Wii versions were a different game), then PS3 version got delayed by several months and they managed to fix most of the game technical problems by then and it resulted in a noticeably higher metacritic score...

hah, best on Wii U... no for real, pay nothing and not have a chance to be utterly devastated by getting it, best way to go but I'm sure if anybody wants the Wii U version of Colonial Marines to release it's Ubisoft, because then Zombie U wouldn't be looking so bad next to that piece of crap

The funny thing is, since the offerings on the U right now are fairly sparse, this even being a bad game probably would have sold best on the U, them guys are starving for some new games. :P
