The UK's lack of interest in the wii u is a problem nintendo can't fix now! It's too late and the complete lack of advertising is crazy. Two years ago I bought my Wii U and I'm yet to meet anyone else that owns one.
Another moronic decision from Nintendo! A massive lack of games in 2015 and no horror games since zombi u. Just give me zelda so I can get rid of my wii u.
I bought the game on ps3 two weeks ago because of the lack of info regarding the wii u version. Anyway after I bought AC3 on wii u and it froze constantly I don't think id bother anyway
I bought a wii u day one and I've never regretted it! All I'm saying is that without third party support the wii u has no real chance of being a massive seller. I don't know one person that owns one other than me and I don't know anyone planning on buying one.
A huge Nintendo fan so I'm Not trying to bash them but can you honestly say that the wii u is not a failure? If it only sells 15 million units over its life is that acceptable to nintendo?
@Einherjar I personally buy Nintendo consoles for first party games but the general public aren't really interested anymore, without third party support dedicated gamers won't buy a Wii U (not in huge numbers anyway) so my thoughts are that after Nintendo release all their titles like Zelda the Wii U will be at the end of its life cycle.
GameCube lasted just over 3 years and that was selling much better than the Wii U.
Game looks great for a Zelda fan but I'm still worried about the game play just being button smash. Wait and see what the full review says before I decide to buy or not.
Wii u will sell 20m units in its life span. This won't be enough to bring back third party games, but most nintendo owners only want to play nintendo games anyway. I've a ps3 and I'll buy a ps4 for the rest.
Wii u could do with a price cut in the UK. £200 with a game and they would fly off the shelves. I bought mine day one for £350 ad to this day I still don't know one other person that owns one.
I was waiting for the watch dogs reviews to land before deciding which game to buy first. With watch dogs only getting 7s I've chosen to buy Mario Kart now and watch dogs when it's either cheaper or gets released on wii u (if it ever does)
I see the wii u VC has gone back to being a fcking joke again. I predict we will never see n64 or GameCube in VC! Just give me MK8 and zelda and then I'm Done nintendo!
Nintendo have two system selling games this year mario kart and smash, smash should have been released earlier by the time it comes out the wii u will be on its last legs. To little to late from nintendo to save the wii u now.
Troll don't make me laugh! My nintendo network id is boxmonkey and you will are I've owned a wii u from day one in the uk! Same as I've owned every nintendo console from day one for over 20 years. I'm pissed of with what's going on at nintendo, sorry if that upsets some people.
Is this really what it's come too? I paid £350 for a wii u and this is the type of news I find. I've never been so disheartened by nintendo in 25 years. I feel sad that I'm moving on to sony.

Re: Wii U Version of Watch Dogs to Miss Out on DLC
I have just looked up third party titles due in 2015 and found 4 games:
Project cars, human Element, ashes cricket (2013) and sacrirgium.
This time next year the wii u will be on its way out. Zelda will be the swan song.

Re: Ubisoft Executive Talks Up Super Smash Bros. as a Wii U System Seller
Third party support on the Wii U is going to be crap from now on! I really can't see the Wii U surviving past next year.
Re: Watch Dogs Will be the Only "Mature" Ubisoft Game on Wii U in Upcoming Lineup
By the time Wii U gets Watch Dogs released the game will only be £20 on the other systems. No way will it sell at full price then.
