Cheers,
David - Risin' Goat It's on my watch list data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 And Homeland Security's watch list too. I like the look of this game but am a bit weary of kickstarter games in general.Got nothing against them but things like what happened with Project Cars really does annoy me.The wii u was one of the original plartforms that game was due out for and as such got wii u owners interested and I'm sure they received donations.Then the ps3/xbox 360 versions were dropped and it was announced for next gen and PC, and now the wii u version, the only platform it was origianlly touted for is being delayed and the others will be out before it.That sucks. To be fair, the Wii-U is much harder to code for in comparison and it has many more limits. No doubt mate, i do get that its just that when the original platform the game was supposed to come out on gets delayed, that annoys me.The whole interest and initial hype/support/backing would have been made and generated from users of that platform and then when that gets delayed to accomodate platforms that were added afterwards, it just feels like two fingers have been stuck up at you.
By principle the funding gained and resources they have should be dedicated to that platform and others follow suit.Yes the wii u is reportedly harder to develop for but then dont start a kickstarter campaign for a game on the wii u and release other versions of it before hand.
Apologies for sounding off, not venting at anyone in particular, just the prinicple of it gets to me data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 They were probably unable to get the funding needed to finish the game on the Wii-U so had to open it up to other platforms.Unfortunate, but nature of the beast.As it stands I think the PS4 has sold many more consoles than the Wii-U lifetime so PC might not have even made money if they only released on the Wii-U.
But honestly, it should have at least released first on the Wii-U.Without Nintendo funding the studio a bit though for a timed exclusive then they have no obligations to release on it first.Nintendo need to start throwing money at third party studios for rights. Another one bites the dust

Don't know if Wii u was lead platform or not but it was promised on Wii u and now is not coming out for it. They probably got a look at Wii-U's SDK tools and were like "Nope"
Honestly they should hire some fresh programming talent to make everything much smoother transitioning from PC to the Wii-U, which is what is really hurting the Wii-U and Nintendo. That would be good. Also I read somewhere a while back (for the life of me can't find the article now) that apart from their own development teams Nintendo are notoriously bad at providing tech support for third party devs and that some third parties were just given a Wii u dev kit with little to no support on how to code for it and had to figure it out themselves.
