Some gamers wondered if the hardcore content of might be the cause for the game’s absence on the Wii U, but let’s not forget that Nintendo’s systems have been home to some fairly raunchy games, such as and . I don’t see why a polygonal penis would instantly put Red Barrel smack dab at a concept approval stop sign. Nintendo’s systems have always been a magnet for a menagerie of out-there games.
Of course, Nintendo is also notorious for quality control on their systems; they really do expect companies to release working games on their platforms, usually the first time out and the first time around.
The PS4 and Xbox One have become equally notorious for getting games that arrive, or ship, or release broken right out of the freaking box *cough*Battlefield 4*cough*. It’s something the Big ‘N’ doesn’t tolerate like Fox doesn’t tolerate poor ratings on a show barely out of its pilot episode.
