Project Cars Cancelled on Wii U

Developer Slightly Mad Studios has confirmed that Project Cars on Wii U has been cancelled.

The ambitious driving simulator, which is already available on multiple platforms, was previous delayed for release on Wii U with rumblings that it may get the chop after technical issues.

Today, Slightly Mad Studios confirmed that Project Cars Wii U has indeed been cancelled, with creative director Andy Tudor stating how "the quality does not meet our own high standards nor our intended vision for the title on this platform."

Speaking to GameSpot, Tudor apologised to "Nintendo fans out there that have been waiting for further news on this but we have no desire to release a product that isn't at the very least comparable with our highest-rated versions on other platforms."

The team don't appear to be ruling out a Nintendo-console version, as Tudor expressed interest in "any announcement of further hardware from Nintendo." Perhaps the recently announced Project Cars 2 could make the Nintendo-cut in the future?
