Anyway, 1 month to go and no info, no in-game footage nor a trailer. SMH. I decided to pre-order this again last week.

Looking forward to it you guys should do a poll on this, ask: I'm definitely getting this at launch.
I'm waiting for bargain bin price.
I'm not getting it. Love to see the results. And go!

Yes, I have resisted playing it on other platforms and remain spoiler free to this date. I will give you my money Ubisoft, but I want you to keep supporting the Wii U with core tiles, not "Just Dance".

I know, this is business not a charity, but I am currently quite disappointed with third parties in the way they are handling the Wii U, reading stuff like "no DLC" for instance gives me a mix of sadness and anger. I've had this on preorder since day of announcement and have resisted the temptation to cancel the pre order, although that temptation has become harder to resist as the release gets closer and only negative info is being released via hearsay whilst Ubi stay silent.
Right now this news still hasn't softened that temptation and unless something comes soon from Ubi then this will be a cancelation on the 15th November. (Deadline I've set myself to make up my mind)
So far there are more negatives than positives.

Original delay to allow more time to work on WiiU specific gamepad integration only to apparently have a map on the gamepad!! No DLC!! No official released screenshots/in game footage/game specifics
Lots of 'what nots' the WiiU version has instead of 'what does'.
Come on Ubi break your silence for those of us who remain committed.

Does this mean we get to try out this second screen gaming stuff??........oh wait!!! played it on pc -did have plans to buy on wii u originally but you know how ubisoft is with delaying wii u versions- back in may and it was a sorely disappointing experience i.m.o , its a decent game but overly flawed and jarringly rushed. its going to sell poorly going up against smash bros and bayonetta, but of course it will be our fault, they could have released it a month or two ago when there was a gap in releases This is such amazing news!!

I always have WAY too much time at Uni to just sit on my phone, it'll be great to get some homeconsole interaction! I would definitely buy this in a Ubisoft Sale but the moment passed so long ago it is beyond a joke. You just know they are going to release it at full price as well despite the delay and lack of DLC.

If this WAS worth £50 then......it lost £10 value after a delay.....£10 value through lack of dlc and future support.....£5 for lacking console specific features after saying it would .....that's a £25 game to me now without even reading a review on how it runs on the Wii u !!! Throw in the fact that it's riddled with bugs on other platforms that have not been properly patched and Ubisoft have a horrendous record of patches on the Wii u and I'm pretty sure II'llbe waiting for a sale if I buy this!

I really just want to play as many games on my gamepad as possible and that why I waited. It will probably retail for €/$60,- while four weeks later you can buy it in the Steam sales for half that price or less. Smart thinking Ubisoft.

Exactly how I view it too. If there was any fun taken out of the GamePad whatsoever, if only a gyro aiming option, I would gladly pay 60€ for it, DLC or not. Now I may not even pay 25€...in fact, the Vigilante edition for PC is £29.99, so no.

The dlc should be in the game after a delay like this, unless it comes out at £30 or less i wont be buying now Yeah I did the same thing. I understand everybody hates Ubi but the game is still coming to the console so I'm supporting it.

You mean the game that comes out just weeks before SSBU and that is not Sonic? You mean the game who will go to the new products aisle to the bargain bin in approximatively one week?The game which everybody who actually wanted got a used copy already for other systems, or low-priced on Steam? The game that has had so much content cut for Wii U version that even the companion app seems like great news?

Another lazy effort from Ubisoft for the Wii U. I'm so jaded and done with this company I've even decided to pass on Rayman Legends, even though I was very excited for that game, because I'm DONE giving them any of my money. I hope Ubi never releases another Wii U game again, we deserve better efforts from better companies.

The fact this game is higher than full price in Australia ($90 vs $80) is beyond ridiculous. I give it 2 months before an eshop discount followed by a permanent price drop to $30. I'll maybe consider it then.

The only games for Wii U i'm looking forward to this year end is Captain Toad and this. Not a Smash fan, not a Bayonetta fan, not a Dynasty Warriors fan. Plus, this is literally the only mature open world game Wii U will ever have.

My backlog is too big to play beyond the standard campaign of games. I just got an Xbox One and could buy this for it, but I'll pay extra and get it for Wii U. I'm a big boy and can deal with Ubisoft's practices without becoming bitter.

I remember being super optimistic about the Wii U version, because it seemed like it would've meshed very well with the platform. We've barely heard anything about the port other than what the game WON'T have, so nothing about what Ubisoft has done is inspiring any confidence. the next day....

Have they patched SC Blacklist's multiplayer yet? Well, they made me wait way too long, too many games coming out now, they WILL say it's Nintendo gamers their fault it won't sell, whatever happens, and we'll never see a sequel to Red Steel 2 or ZombiU anyway...

I understand what you're saying though, if the Wii U had a wider range of genres, so that everyone could enjoy it, then I'm sure more people would buy a Wii U. It's a shame that to get the widest gaming experience possible you need 2 consoles, or 1 console and 1 PC (Wii U and PS4/X1) (or Wii U and PC).

The reality is that many people can't afford more than one console, so Wii U is not necessarily always a viable option for people. Nevertheless, like you, I'm going to support Watch Dogs for Wii U (despite already owning PC and PS4 versions), because if enough people buy, perhaps Ubisoft will reconsider to put their games on Wii U (at the end of the day, it's the money that counts). The other versions had online free roam from Day 1, and since Watch Dogs Wii U has a companion app and how other Ubisoft games for Wii U have had online, then I'm sure it'll have online free roam Day 1, if that's any consolidation.

I'm getting it for sure, maybe not day one but I'll get some1 2 get me it for Xmas I had this preordered after E3 last year but after all the delays and BS I cancelled it. Honestly I don't know what Ubisoft expects anymore as they obviously jeopardized this game on the Wii U. I'm getting Watch Dogs for Wii U when it costs 29.99 or lower.

If we dont buy it than that's telling 3rd party developers that wii U is no good. BUT at the same time if we do support it than we are telling 3rd party developers that we except poor ports of good games on other systems.

Buying this version is basically just plain stupid. Buying this game won't improve the Wii U's third party support. If everyone bought this after what Ubisoft has pulled, we'd probably get more third party games, but they'd all be full-price, lacking in features, terribly optimized, measly GamePad integrated, rushed/delayed to infinity games.

I will put down my money on third party titles that are made properly on the system and/or utilize it in a way that couldn't be done (with the same experience) on another console. ZombiU is a great example.

Batman Arkham City was made properly on the system and (to my knowledge) includes all DLC. Heck, even Call of Duty (Black Ops II) runs properly and looks a bit better than the 360/PS3 versions as well as having that dual screen local multiplayer and multiple control options. Three Watch_Dogs Wii U screen shots, release date, price and download size released - are Nintendolife going to follow this up with Ubisoft?

Arkham City wasn't made properly on Wii U. It was ported by a smaller, inexperienced team (NOT ROCKSTEADY) and threw in a load of worthless Gamepad features to make it appear like a good job. Zombie U is a 360 game by another small inexperienced team with gamepad tacked on (though brilliantly).

Black Ops 2 was a decent port though it was ported in less than 4 months with a small team of 40 people - same with Ghosts. If these titles were designed and made properly on Wii U, the Wii U versions would feature much higher resolution textures, lighting effects and polygons over the 360/PS3 versions but I believe this is not the case.
