Watch Dogs also confirmed for Wii U
by Alice O'Connor, Feb 21, 2013 6:45am PSTUbisoft had hinted at a Wii U edition of open-world hack 'em up Watch Dogs before, but only formally confirmed it last night alongside the announcement of a PlayStation 4 version. No, obviously it didn't drop this news during Sony's big shindig, but in a press release afterwards.
One can guess at special Wii U GamePad functions it'll have, but the confirmation itself is the only solid detail we have. The announcement merely listed Wii U as a platform, alongside PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 and PS3. It'll be a PS4 launch title this holiday season. Doubtless it'll be coming to Microsoft's new console too, whenever that's announced.
Watch Dogs stars a vigilante in super-connected society, hacking into everything from bank accounts and security cameras to road barriers and trains in his mission to stop naughty men from being naughty. It's okay when he steals money, though. Here's the demo Ubisoft showed last night:
Xbox One won't allow indies to self-publish games
Microsoft won't cater to 'traditional desktop PC gamers' with first-party strategy
Kinect for Xbox One coming to PC
Xbox One does not provide any built-in DVR capabilities
Xbox One increases friends lists to 1,000
Xbox One achievements dynamic, not limited to single games
Battlefield 4 launching October 29; confirmed for Xbox One and PS4

And hey, maybe such a cutting edge game coming to the system will shut up the Wii U haters for a few minutes. I can only hope.
