GoNintendo has a copy of the PR email that was sent out listing the Wii U as one of the systems Watch_Dogs is officially coming to.

Booyah. One of my most anticipated games - now coming to Wii U. I just hope we get the version that's using the better assets (PC/PS4 version.. compared to the PS3/360 version.)

Day 1 for me. I'm really pumped for this game.

The looks awesome, am sure as we get closer to e3 more games are going to be announced and thigs will get brighter for Wii U, and after the overhyped play station direct, cough, cough, i can say that "next gen" is not looking like is going to affect Wii U too much after all.

Okay, that footage from Playstation presentation convinced me in Watch Dogs.

Stopping and hopping on a train is quite ingenius way of moving around.

It looks like Assasin Creed in modern urban environment. I'm game for that.

Story is kinda confusing (predicting crimes Minority Report style? Why are cops going after him then?), but who cares.

NeoStar! Is this the official mega-thread?

Kairon · « **Reply #6 on:** February 21, 2013, 01:27:43 AM »

HALLELUJAH!

...also, since I've spent so many years supporting Ubisoft games on Nintendo systems, not listening to the naysayers out there... You're welcome.

Kairon, where did you come down in the battle of Rayman? FOR OR AGAINST

Rayman did not violate my policy of striving for parity support from Third Party developers. That, and it just means I have more money to buy Need For Speed the month after.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #9 on:** February 21, 2013, 02:03:01 AM »

Man i'm such a stupid child. I see this and read about the actual Rayman developers upset about the game releasing so late and all is forgiven. Now I will certainly get both games.

This game looks like nothing I have ever played before. So i'm sure I am in for a treat. Well so long as the game is actually good. I really had some high hopes for that blasted Aliens...

Enner · « **Reply #10 on:** February 21, 2013, 02:36:56 AM »

I'm worried how well the game will look on the Wii U (compared to Playstation 4), but this news is nice to hear. The two demos shown so far look great.

This is actually what I keep seeing in it. I think Assassin's Creed was probably the foundation (big cities, lots of roaming around if you want, not necessarily rushed to do things in the cities).

This seems to be an Assassin's Creed, of the FUTURE. Which is odd knowing the Assassin's Creed storyline somewhat.

I really try my best not to get hyped over stuff, and I'm actually wondering how well the Wii U version will run (I want to see how well LEGO City is first).

Sarail · « **Reply #12 on:** February 21, 2013, 08:40:09 AM »

Why are you lot so concerned? If Need for Speed: Most Wanted is any indication, and based on Criterion's verbiage concerning Wii U's strength, Watch_Dogs could very well be the PC/PS4 version on Wii U. No need for alarm.

Wii U is powerful (next-gen.) End of discussion.

Main thing I took away from video - Gamespot still exists.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #14 on:** February 21, 2013, 01:55:21 PM »

Did anyone think the PS4 version shown at the conference looked like it could have been done on the PS3? I was seeing it and saying that the Wii U could do better than that.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #15 on:** February 21, 2013, 05:02:05 PM »

Yeah, it's pretty but not next-gen pretty. It doesn't look as fancy as the demo last E3, I need to bring up both and compare.

I'll bet we're getting the PS360 version, which to me doesn't mean much. Better than not getting it but if I'm going to buy a new system for Watch Dogs, why would I get a Wii U if I could play a comparable version on the PS3 I already own? The Wii U has to get the PC/PS4 version or it's last gen. That would be the best test.

Nice to see Ubisoft not totally turn on the Wii U though after that whole Rayman thing.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #17 on:** February 21, 2013, 06:31:20 PM »

Nobody should be buying a new system for this game. That's like buying a Wii for Twilight Princess. If you're already getting a new system, I can see picking up what will probably be the best-looking version of the game, but the game was built for hardware most people already own.

Considering that NFS:MW is using the PC build for Wii U. the test has already been passed.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #19 on:** February 21, 2013, 06:54:04 PM »

You can port from PC to Wii U. Whether the developer will actually do that is another matter.

assuming they give a **** I'm sure it could be done, as Stogi pointed out NFS is a great example.
If they're going to be lazy they'll just port the PS360 version and say "hey, see we give you games."

I'm still not that interested in this game but at least it's another Wii U game for Wii U owners who are interested.

Ubisoft has the official site up, the PS4 trailer has commentary.

Here is the original E3 trailer, I guess the graphical fidelity looks about the same.

They didn't show PS4 version.

Footage from conference was from PC.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #23 on:** February 21, 2013, 08:39:29 PM »

If you're expecting the PS4 game to look significantly better than that, prepare to be disappointed.

MrPhishfood · « **Reply #24 on:** February 23, 2013, 09:21:33 AM »

I was never hyped for this when it was first announced or when it was announced for Wii U. From the looks of it, its still the same Assassins Creed/GTA concept except in a different context. I feel like I've experienced all the elements that make up this game just never all under one roof.

In a Zelda game I actually feel like I'm on an adventure whereas in these other games like I'm continually crossing out stuff on a check list.
