Amazon Listing For Wii U Version Of Off-Road Racer DiRT Slides Into View

Could Codemasters be bringing its franchise to Nintendo's system?

The DiRT series of racing games has already gained a sizeable following on consoles and PC, and if a recent listing on Amazon is to be believed, it could be racing onto the Wii U in the not too distant future.

The online retailer has listed the game — simply entitled "DiRT" — with a price of $59.99, but offers no further information. Seeing as the franchise is now up to its third entry, we could potentially be looking at an all-new version for the Wii U, but a more realistic proposition would be a port of DiRT 3: Complete Edition, which launched in 2012.

Would be great to see more support for the wii u by 3rd party studios. Lets hope this is true.

... thus getting it's act together, as well as getting much more support. Especially now, when so many are considering it again after they've written off the Xbox One, while still wanting a 2nd console next to their first 'main' console.

As far as DiRT isconcerned, I really hope it is a new game that focusses completely on the Rally-aspect, instead of the whole 'dude' Xtreme thing they had going on for 2 and 3.

I just want to ride, mostly alone, on LONG tracks, through (many different) GORGEOUS and CHALLENGING and FUN locations! Not just some short 2-3 minute tracks.

If it's a port/compilation of the first 3 games, again, I hope they'll focus on the rally-tracks, and not the extra crap that hampered those games, like truck-racing and such.

Couldn't agree more. DiRT needs to go back to its roots: Colin McRae Rally. I absolutely loved them back in the PS1/2 era. Truck Racing and the other crap doesn't belong in the game.

I should of known a Codemasters game will come, they will not skip out on another Christmas.

Eyesoffiction3990d ago

I would buy this for sure, nice to see some games for wii u.

MasterCornholio3990d ago

Especially games from 3rd parties despite some Nintendo fans not buying them.

Some of these retailers and online sites are getting anxious. They keep spilling the beans on games before the publishers. lol

Thanks alot codemasters for nothing. We appreciate your support. Just don't feel like optimizing code anymore huh? Not happening. Portmasters shot it down. Story has been updated.

To Sony, and so many other companies in this industry, the short-term satisfaction and happiness of their shareholders means so much more to them than their employees, their products, and their customers.

Apologies, don't know how the above comment ended up here while it clearly should have gone to other article about the Sony lay-offs. Please delete.
