We somehow missed the news last week, but Rain Games announced that the Wii U port of World to the West would be delayed by a few weeks to work on optimization. While they could have released the title and did a post-launch patch, they felt it was better for Wii U owner's first impressions to be of a stable and working title instead of something that barely functions.
"We’ve chosen to delay the Wii U release of the game for a few weeks," Rain Games' statement reads, "until we can deliver the game in its best possible state. We’re not happy to keep the Wii U users waiting, but we figured it’s better to release the game in a smooth state rather than releasing a patch later on and giving early adopters a less polished experience." Why more triple A developers don't follow this mantra is beyond me, but at least someone is running a decent business. You can read the full statement below:
