Just download it. No stock issue.

Perhaps publishers want to go down to just developing for 2 systems to save costs. It appears that we know which 2 systems they've chose.

I already own this game so why would I buy it again? Release the new games across all systems, not this old port crap.

Every machine that is developed for is an "extra" cost. Maybe there is collusion between the publishers to have only 2 machines to develop for. I think it's obvious who they have chosen as those 2 machines.

@oldaq They're right on the main menu. I've always bought disc but with the wii u, due to the 10% off wii u deluxe promotion, i've been downloading them. Now when I want to play a game I do have on disc, I find myself saying, ah man I gotta get up and put a disc in. It's quite handy having them all on the hard drive. No noticeable difference between reading off the hard drive compared to disc either.

I think this really prooves that there was some kind of falling out between EA and Nintendo, and EA basically told them that they will not support their system with any direct investment. However, I think when EA goes to release their first games for the PS4 and Nextbox, they'll see the small install base in the first year of those systems, and see the larger install base of the Wii U and port those "next" gen's over to the Wii'U, just to help cover the costs of the inherently lower software sales on newly realeased hardware.

I wish they would state which wii U's are abundant. I bet the deluxes sell out quickly, but there's ton's of the basic sets. I've pretty much always seen at least on basic set on the shelves everytime I go in the store, but usually never any deluxes. Personally, when I was trying to get my hands on a Wii U, it took me six weeks from launch to get a delux, although many times I passed up on an available basic set. I give the basic set another 6 months before Ninty goes back to just one set with common items, just it'll be available in white or black.

The only reason to hack a system is to allow for pirated games. Everything else is all BS to "legitimize" it to appease their conscience and lawyers. Hackers killed the wii. Developers stopped supporting it because game sales dropped like a boat anchor when the wii was hacked. I know guys with hard drives full of wii games they never paid for. Why spend your hard earned money on games when you can get them for free right? I guess if I can't afford to buy that nice sports car I should just steal it right? If you didn't buy it, you stole it. It's not piracy, it's stealing. So hackers, don't kill the 3ds, and the WiiU. Go hack something else.
