[QUOTE="Rudy, post: 145000, member: 1233"] I thought one of the guys who visited Farsight's studio mentioned that they had a working Wii U version there with the DMD on the gamepad? Something doesn't add up about all of this, and I'm inclined to believe it's been dropped until it's considered profitable to port to the Wii U. The delays to games like Watch_dogs for the Wii U make me think that there's a lot of companies that have given up hope on the Wii U and don't publicly want to say it, yes if Pinball Arcade was ported to the Wii U it'd have a tiny dedicated fanbase, and probably a bunch of Wii U users who want something new... but it wouldn't make anywhere near the sales that they'd be making for the PS4/PC/One and they're a drop in the ocean compared to the Android/iOS market. Considering the price that Nintendo might want farsight to pay to get the game on their consoles and you're looking at something that may not ever recoup it's development costs. Farsight are probably better off by devoting their time to getting the PS4/One tables upgraded so they can be released, for it'll make them a lot more money than adding a brand new division to cater for.
