“Project CARS” Cancelled for Wii U

"Quality Not Meeting Standards"

As reported by Polygon, Bandai Namco has confirmed after some rumors that "Project CARS" has been cancelled for the Wii U.

Despite much perseverance on the Wii U version of Project CARS we will no longer be actively pursuing development on it as the quality does not meet our own high standards nor our intended vision for the title on this platform. We eagerly look forward to any announcement of further hardware from Nintendo but right now Project CARS is simply too much for Wii U despite our very best efforts. Apologies to our Nintendo fans out there that have been waiting for further news on this but have no desire to release a product that isn't at the very least comparable with our highest-rated versions on other platforms. We optimistically look forward therefore to what the future may hold.

The game seemed to be a bit too difficult to get running on the Wii U. "Project CARS" has been out since May for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
