Here come the Aussie Wii U game delays. One has even been cancelled

It inevitably happens, just before the launch of a console some titles slip a day or two, a week or at worst a month. It happened with the Wii and also with the 3DS. Now the Wii U is suffering some delays. As it stands, three games have been delayed and the release of another has been pulled entirely from Australia.

The following Wii U games will miss launch on Friday, NBA 2K13, Epic Mickey 2: Power of Two and Marvel Avengers: The Battle for Earth.

NBA has been pushed to early next year where as Epic Mickey 2 and Marvel is only missing release by a couple weeks and will be arriving on December 13^th.

007 Legends though, that’s just been entirely cancelled for release here. It’s not coming, it likely never was. We followed up with Activision as to why and just received  a confirmation that indeed the game on Wii U was not being released here. We shouldn’t be too angry however, reviewers haven’t been favourable to the title on any system and now the developers are laying off staff. It’s a bit of a mess.

We’ll let you know if any more titles slip.
