Wow! It even has the token black friend! Awesome!

If the game is finished and it has an ESRB rating, how much does it cost to just slap it on the eShop? I can't imagine them not releasing it at some point as there's basically no further investment required (as far as I understand) I'm guessing they're just waiting for the install base to get a little larger or maybe they're waiting for the next big gap in the release schedule so that they won't have any competition.

Quality 3rd party software. At least we can rest easy knowing it wasn't an Assassins Creed or Prince of Persia HD collection.

You're suggesting that the publisher that delayed Rayman Legends from a February date to a jam-packed September date and released a Wii U port of Watch Dogs in November would wait for the next big gap in the release schedule so that they won't have any competition?

Nothing of value is being lost.

I'd rather play Grow Home, but not even Ubisoft cares enough about that game either. So, meh.

I think there are more reasons as to why this wasn't released beyond just Wii U console sales....

Wii U sales so bad that even UBISoft refuses to release their shovelware for the system?

I'd like to think that, for once, even Ubisoft was ashamed of the shovelware they had created and couldn't bring themselves to release another stinker on the market but blamed Wii U sales to shift the blame of the product's obvious failure off themselves to feel a bit better.

in digital, non physical form too....
almost no overhead to release on eshop since the game is done, and it still isn't worth the cost/risk.
that's damn sad.

Agreed. Even an eShop release means that because of the empty release schedule the game would get too much attention, highlighting what a horrible piece of crap it probably is.

Not having games released is never good... but this isn't something I would have even considered purchasing.  You feel bad for the developers though, to have a finished product that will never see light of day.

yes. that is certainly one hell of a way to spin it.
I can get aboard that train.

This is the game that would have saved the Wii U.

So we know the Ubisoft quality matrix:

We Dare
Assassin's Creed Unity
---here be cancelled---

Are these kind of party games still relevant?

Only in the category of "quality unreleased content" and the "3rd party wall of shame".

Kairon would buy it.
