Earlier today, an official statement was made by Slightly Mad Studios creative director Andy Tudor;
“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.”
According to Slightly Mad boss Ian Bell,
“The official line is that we’re awaiting an announcement from Nintendo on new hardware,” he said. “As of now pCARS is simply too much for the Wii U.”
Perhaps along the way, Project Cars may become a reality on the Nintendo NX, Nintendo’s future console yet to be officially revealed. Released back in May, Project Cars received positive ratings and good feedback for being entertaining and very user friendly.
