Ubisoft’s latest big budget IP is finally set to launch on Nintendo hardware.

Watch Dogs is coming to Wii U on November 18 in North America and November 21 in Europe, publisher Ubisoft has confirmed.
The game was released on other platforms in May of this year. The Wii U version was originally expected to ship alongside those, but a February announcement revealed that its appearance on Nintendo hardware had been delayed indefinitely.
Watch Dogs arrives on Wii U bearing key enhancements tailored to the system, such as an interactive map displayed via the GamePad and the option for Off-TV Play. Ubisoft Bucharest developed this build of the game in partnership with Ubisoft Montreal.
For those unfamiliar with Watch Dogs, it's an open-world action-adventure title set in a fictionalized Chicago. The plot follows a hacker's quest for revenge and justice after the death of his niece, and the key gameplay hook revolves around using the main character's hacking skills to manipulate or interact with aspects of the game world.
With Ubisoft skipping out on bringing new Assassin’s Creed content to Wii U this year, Watch Dogs is slated to be the only “mature” title coming from the publisher anytime soon.
Hopefully they make up for the 6 month delay by also including all of the DLC for the game free.
