"As of now pCARS is simply too much for the Wii U."Earlier this week, Bell admitted the developer is struggling with the Wii U version , before saying it may instead come to the next generation Nintendo console the company announced in March. Though Bell has previously said a Wii U version was never guaranteed , this is the first time we've had confirmation of a cancellation.Released May 12 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, IGN gave Project Cars an 8.9 , calling it deep and demanding but incredibly user friendly. A sequel was recently announced.
