What. A. Shock.
Those of you left caring may have noticedAliens: Colonial Marinesmissed its Wii U release launch window. There’s a very good reason for that — SEGA finally decided to shoot the lame dog in the head, and has quietly canceled the project.
SEGA confirmed the cancellation toKotaku, though had no further comment.
The Wii U version was, at one point, expected to be the superior alternative, boasting GamePad-exclusive motion tracker gimmickry, and enjoying the benefit of some much needed extra development time. The termination is in spite of Gearboxpimping the Wii U’s greatnessas a system and sayingAlienswould be “better” on it — just another unrealized pledge from the studio on this particular game.
So there you go. No Wii UAliens. Nintendo just breathed a sigh of relief.
