[UPDATE - MISTAKE!] GameStop cancels WiiU Watch_Dogs preorders [NOT TRUE!]

[Tom Bombadildo]

Huh, from Kotaku:

[UPDATE: 2:30PM: We've contacted GameStop stores in New York and Los Angeles that say that customers can still pre-order Watch Dogs for Wii U, leading to the possibility that the cancellation order our retail source told us about was not applicable nationally. Joystiq reports that the Italian branch of GameStop told them that the de-listing of a Wii U version of the game was an error and that "tomorrow the reservation ofWatch Dogs will restart." We've not heard from GameStop U.S. yet, but will let you know if/when we do.]

Nevermind

You're either an ass or a troll. Although I suppose the two aren't mutually exclusive.

Overreaction much?

Nintendo had damn well better have some kind of contingency plan should things go from bad to worse

 

[Gahars]

Hoping that people don't get a game they've waited a few years for?

I think cancelling my Wii U order has been a good thing.

Did you even read his post?

And you know the number of smartphone/tablet owners who also happen to own a ps3, ps4, 360, or xb1 greatly out numbers the amount of wii u owners
Besides the gamepad part is a gimmick

There's plenty of console gamers who don't own a tablet but perhaps a smartphone.

I don't own either because I don't like touchpad, unless it's usable with a stylus pen. I had an iPhone and hated it.

So then you're in agreement about the hardware?

The hardware isn't "bad", either. Sure, it's not powerful, but it's a step up from their previous console. I'm pretty happy with the Wii U hardware, I don't understand why people need everything to be bleeding edge.

I misread it. I thought he said cancelling the game has been a good thing. I've not been concentrating as well these days due to a loss in the family.

emigre . Now that I understand your post I get your point. I like my Wii U, but it wasn't a very good investment.

Because being a graphics whore is a prereq for being a true gamer /sarcasm Bleeding edge hardware be damned. Anyone who defends Nintendo for having weaker hardware is labeled as a troll.

[UPDATE 2, 2:58PM:] Good news, everyone! GameStop Italy and our U.S.-based source have both said that this was all a glitch in the system and that Watch Dogs is—or will soon be—available for pre-order for Wii U again in Italy and the U.S. Apologies for making everyone nervous about this and for not getting that all sorted prior to publishing the first time.

Crisis averted... now back to your mundane lives.

I thought it smelled of BS

Addendum, that happens on IGN and Kotaku

Stop with the persecution complex please.

Stop with the persecution complex please.

Then would you be so kind as to let me how that should have been worded?

 

[Mario92]

That's pretty big title so I wouldn't even consider Wii U or any other console version of it as there's PC version in make and they have stated many times that's their primary platform.

 

[drgnslayers]

Strangely, its Canadian division, EB Games, does take pre-orders for the Wii U version but does not come with any exclusive bonuses nor a limited edition. You can have the Exclusive Palace DLC on the other consoles (PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, XBOX ONE) and the PC version if you pre-order from EB Games. They even sell a limited version that can be bought on all versions but the PC and the Wii U.

This year is gonna be amazing for Wii U ... Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros, Bayonetta 2, X, Shin megami X Fire Emblem, Donkey Kong, Yarn Yoshi and possibly the new zelda and Dragon Quest X. These are all exclusives, it just sucks that 3rd parties are all leaving the ship. It's by far my fav console atm. I use the gamepad everyday when my wife is asleep ... the web browser is great, the feel of the controller is great and the image quality on the gamepad is better than the quality of airplay on vita and PS4. I love Miiverse and even TVii (to my own surprise). Hopefully Nintendo will do the same thing they did with the 3ds and save it by releasing tons of amazing games!! There's also a lot of indie games coming out on the Wii U .. Nintendo is a bit late on the indie side :S

Wii u is the only true Next Gen system out there in terms of innovation, with the smartest gamepad as well. Getting one is the only way I can play the Nintendo exclusives (even the remade ones) that I cannot find anywhere else. As for the PS4 and Xbox1, the majority of their games can be played on a PC.
So, for me there is only one value for money way:
Get a WiiU and a good PC (everyone has a pc)
and a 3DS
