Project Cars Wii U version confirmed

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Wii U

NFS: Shift developer racing to Nintendo's new platform.

Need for Speed: Shift developer Slightly Mad Studios is developing a Wii U version of upcoming racing sim Project Cars.

The UK studio has added Nintendo's upcoming home console to the game's official website, alongside the game's already-announced PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions.

No release date was mentioned for the game, although the Wii U will not launch until later this year - sometime after the E3 Expo in June.

Project Cars is a community-developed game, where feedback from the game's open beta is rewarded with a share of the game's profits.

Martin Robinson went under the hood for Eurogamer in our Project Cars preview late last year.

Something about this doesn't sound good at all. It's either community developed or Wii U, not sure which.

The game looks awesome so far and depending on it's release date, being on Wii U may make me think twice about just going straight for the 360 version. Looking forward to more details of both Project CARS and Wii U.

So it's confirmed that the Wii U will support Logitech and/or Fanatec wheels then?

This looks like it�s going to be a great racing game. I imagine the Wii U version will be sufficiently better than the 360/PS3 versions, so will be my system of choice.

@Francisnf You mad bro?

What makes you think the Wii U is going to be even as powerful as a PS3?

No specs are official.

@OllyJ hi Olly.

Well i was just presuming that the Wii U would be more powerful actually, given that its going to be brand new etc, but yeah i guess it might not be.

@OllyJ The PS3 is 6 year old technology, of course it will be better.
