Project CARS for Wii U Officially Scrapped

It has been officially announced that Project CARS for Wii U has been cancelled.

There had been worries that the version (still on the official FAQ as coming 2015) wasn't running as expected, and it was never exactly promised, but they have told Nintendo Life that it is a no go due to the processing power of the console. They also released a statement:

Despite much perseverance on the Wii U version of Project CARS we will no longer be actively pursuing development on it as the quality does not meet our own high standards nor our intended vision for the title on this platform.

We eagerly look forward to any announcement of further hardware from Nintendo but right now Project CARS is simply too much for Wii U despite our very best efforts.

Apologies to our Nintendo fans out there that have been waiting for further news on this but have no desire to release a product that isn't at the very least comparable with our highest-rated versions on other platforms. We optimistically look forward therefore to what the future may hold.

Andy Tudor - Creative Director

Of course, even when it was first mentioned in March, Nintendo stated that the NX would not even be officially announced until at least 2016. So perhaps Project CARS 2 will be coming to the Nintendo NX, rather than the still-faulty Project CARS...
