Aliens: Colonial Marines cancelled on Wii U

Sega has confirmed that the Wii U version of Aliens: Colonial Marines has been cancelled.

The Wii U was supposedly going to offer the "best-looking console version" of Colonial Marines, according to Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford.

The cancellation can be added to the long list of problems that the game has suffered since launching in February.

"We are constantly looking at all areas of our business and in this case have made the decision to not continue development of the Wii U version," a Sega representative told Kotaku.

"Rest assured that we have some fantastic developments for Wii U in the pipeline which we will announce at a later date."

The Wii U port was in development at Demiurge Studios before the cancellation. Nintendo will also be disappointed with the news, as the Wii U badly needs new software to boost sales.
