NBA 2K14 not coming to Wii U
Coming from a CNET interview:
“In building the best game, we didn’t want to take resources away from building on the other platforms. There will be no Wii U version this year.” – Jason Argent, senior vice president of sports operations for 2K Sports
I am going to take down the cloak of non-biasedism and be honest. This is a really dumb reason. I guess I would understand, a little, if 2K14 was just coming to the PS4 and Xbox One. That makes some sense in having to take time to tweak the engine for the Wii U, but that is still a lazy answer. That isn’t the case here. 2K14 is coming to the 360 and PS3. What is keeping it from porting over to the Wii U? It would be the same game with just a little GamePad support like player stats.

I don’t exactly know why, but it always seems like the creators of sports games make the stupidest decisions. BTW, #3 doesn’t look like D-Wade at all.

Props to you James for calling this out as the bunk it is! Perhaps they are too lazy to try and implement use of the GamePad …

Thank you. What makes this worse. 2K13 came to the Wii u.

I don’t get it, how everybody just rage quit on wii u… if the reason for them (EA, 2K) is because of the low sales of the previous game (FIFA 13, 2k13)
I THINK.., the reason is simple.. because those games were launched long before Wii U appears… now the answer to this is only 2 options:
1. Either some people, already own xbox 360/ps 3.. thus they don’t wanna spend another bucks on the same game… OR
2. There are some people like me, who on the first place didn’t buy FIFA 13 or NBA 2k13, simply because I wanna buy the next one.. the so-called “next-gen” games! especially when it comes to sport games, because I’m not a rich guy that’s gonna buy every single FIFA games or NBA games with.. well, more or less the same gameplay (in my opinion of course…)
So, it’s not because of the wii u sucks, or your games are not fun on wii u, or no one interested to buy the games on wii u… me? well I just wanna wait.. save up some money and earn my patience.. well, now that dream is gone. damn u 2k.

In several instances the ports are just plain lazy too, w/features removed … who is going to spend $60 on an old game w/less content? Lazy developers aren’t fooling anyone, except maybe themselves.
