Gone Home is No Longer on its Way to the Wii U eShop

I'm a bit sad because it was such a fantastic experience on PC...but I do hope Nintendo owners try and find a way to play it. It's on Steam sales quite often.

Would have been interesting to see how they implemented the gamepad though...

That subtitle was so stupid... but I couldn't help but laugh.
Meh, we're not really missing out on much.

I think that this game would have been outstanding when it came out.
But by the time it makes consoles, it will be three years old. And other similar experiences are out there (though not necessarily on WiiU).

I played it on Steam. It was a good story (a TON of story in a lot of little details) but not enough replay value other than exploring every nook and cranny of the house and finding it's secrets. I don't think I'd double dip for this one.

@-Godot it may have just been the best subtitle I have ever seen

...Okay?
I'm mean, since I didn't play the game, I don't want to judge it too harshly from what I've seen, but isn't this game basically a Walking Simulator?

And nothing of value was lost. Overpriced pretentious short story.

@WireWare Yes. And it's a short one that you can beat under 2 hours and see most of the game has to offer with ending so stupid it's mindblowing

I guess nothing of value was lost. It´s an interesting sandbox but very little game. Volgarr the Viking on the other hand...

For fans of the game, though I use the term loosely, it's probably disappointing, but I'm not one of them.

I bought it on Steam and felt it wasn't worth the price. The story wasn't interesting, though there are two recordings that I feel were well done, but as a whole, Wii U owners aren't missing out on anything of value. At least, as far as I feel anyway.

If there is an indie game more people need to play it's Undertale.

And as other's have said Gone Home was not a good game. It was pushed by gaming journalists for it's "message", not because it was good.

This is a game you can just watch a playthrough for and pretty much get the same experience.

Just play it on Steam on a 75% off sale. A regular laptop/pc will do.

@DarkKirby As someone who just finished playing Undertale, I second this recommendation.

Good music, fun mechanics that keeps you on your toes, and a story with engaging characters that keeps you hooked from start to finish. One of the few games that's worth going in blind and avoiding all Let's Plays and spoilers until after you beat it at least the first time.

I've had worse news.

From what I've heard of this game, it doesn't sound like a massive loss. It's not like there would've been any Wii U exclusive content and just about any relatively modern PC can run it. The three or four people that HAD to play it on Wii U will be disappointed, but otherwise I don't think it's that bad of news.

And nothing of value was lost.
Another "political correct" walking simulator for the easily offendet
So the MacBook Air fraction anyways

Doesn't Wii U support Unity5?

I am one of few gamers that hated Earthbound (Diamond status, home sickness, the desert, getting the Ultimate weapons, the humor, etc..) but I'll go ahead and recommend Undertale too. Full pacifist, 2nd playthrough. It's golden.

Fantastic, we don't need hipster trash like this

Yes, a shame, was leaked like a year ago in a nindie event to be in production, but then it fell of the map. Seems it really is not coming to Wii U...

Normally I'm all for more choice but there's so little to redeem this I can't even feign disappointment,

Well, it's almost proper for it to be a "PC" exclusive. It's a bit dissapointing that that won't be the case soon.

If you don't have a computer that can run this game you are living in the dark ages.

I rather have Undertale instead of Gone Home. The Wii U needs some indie gems!

I already played it on PC. It was really good, but like some pointed out it's not really a game and has very little replay value.

It's to bad there isn't a Wii U version. It's not the end of the world though.

Oh well their loss

Shucks. I guess I'll have to satisfy my urge to walk around casually and doing mundane tasks in a game by walking around casually and doing mundane tasks in real life... like I already do every day. And to think, I was so excited to get my hands on a game that mimics the most boring parts of human existence.

Thank goodness for that. My friend rated it the worst game he's ever played

Good riddance. Give us Undertale.

I've got it on Steam but it's a shame for those that don't play any games on PC. It's a fantastic experience, something that's really pushing the medium onwards. Not a huge surprise though with the sales situation.

As a Wii U owner, I've stopped expecting games that were not from Nintendo.

This game felt like Myst without the difficult puzzles or Stanley Parable without the humor or choice. So it felt to me like little more than a 3D, interactive, visual novel with only a single possible outcome. That isn't to say that it wasn't able to be entertaining, be effective in what it attempted, nor that it didn't deserve acclaim for attempting to take the medium in a new direction. However, at the end of the day it was an extremely limited experience that asked an extremely high price for what it offered.

Good riddance.

This is sad news. It's a really good game and experience. If you have access to other consoles or a PC, highly recommended. It's an important piece of gaming.

What else is new?

It's hard to believe that a two-hour interactive novel would sell well on the Wii U anyway. Loved the game, but this seems like a smart move.

Game is good, but even if it doesn't come out for Wii U it's not really a big deal,by the time this tittle would come out there's gonna be tons of better games to buy rather than this one

Tagline is too perfect

It's objectively a bad game, but no offense to anyone who enjoyed it.

Who cares. Honestly, add an F-Zero, a more realistic racing game (similator like for my brother), a Metroid and a Zelda and the Wii U couldn't be any better

Those who have it describe this game as a gem, while here it seems we're not missing out on much. Whatever the quality of the game is, one thing's for sure - we Nintendo fans just can't catch a break...

Got it on steam

One if the most overhyped games ive ever played, its so bad.

PS: And no, i knew what i was getting into it, i like those kind of games, and this one is bad either way, sad that ita not coming but im not sure people are missing much

@yuwarite I don't think "objectively" means what you think it means.

But I can second/fourth/twentieth Undertale for Wii U.

@Mattiator Gone Home is a game where you can accidentally beat it in 2 minutes from the start. I don't think you understand the principle of objectivity in regards to reviewing a game's design. One's enjoyment of Gone Home is based on subjectivity.
