Need for Speed: Most Wanted - Didn't make launch because of online, not just a port
"The reason we didn't do the game for launch is because the online side of it wasn't very clear to us. We weren't sure how much we could do online or how it was going to be, because obviously Nintendo were making a lot of changes up until their run-up to launch. So we didn't want to bring the game out at launch on Wii U with no online play. When we got the final hardware in November, we started to look at it, to really experience it, and start to think that just a port isn't going to cut it. Like we'd be embarrassed if we didn't do anything extra; putting something out, any team could do that." - Alex Ward, Criterion
