Wii U owners won't see them coming outta of the goddam walls...

The heavily criticised Aliens: Colonial Marines won't be seeing the light of day in Nintendo's Wii U, as Sega has pulled the plug on the game, issuing an official statement online.

"Sega can confirm that the Wii U sku of Aliens: Colonial Marines is no longer in development," the publisher stated to Polygon.

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game didn't do all that well, and many publications looked unfavourably on it, so the cancellation probably comes as little surprise to some, even with reports that the Wii U version, developed by Demiurge Studios, was potentially the best looking of the lot. It would certainly have benefited from the GamePad's screen, and you're very own hand-held motion tracker would have been very cool. Sadly, this is no longer to be.
