Wii U version of 007 Legends not coming to Australia, 3 other games delayed


Box art for Wii U version of 007 Legends


Here's some bad news for gamers in Australia. NBA 2K13, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, and Marvel Avengers: The Battle for Earth have all been delayed and will not be available when the console launches in the region on Friday, November 30th. The new release dates are as follows:

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two - December 13th
Marvel Avengers: The Battle for Earth - December 13th
NBA 2K13 - "early next year"

While those three titles have merely been delayed for the platform, the Wii U version of 007 Legends has been cancelled and won't even be released in Australia. I've been looking at the comments sections on various websites and most gamers seem completely indifferent to the news that 007's latest game won't be available in the region, which is undoubtedly due to the fact that it received overwhelmingly negative reviews. The game did so poorly that developer Eurocom recently announced they were laying off over 200 employees and are shifting their focus to mobile platforms. It's a shame, really, as the company had developed a number of successful Bond games over the years, including James Bond 007: Nightfire and the reimagined version of GoldenEye 007 for the Wii.
