The long wait of Wii U users is finally over, as Ubisoft finally released the first screenshots of "Watch Dogs" for the console after it was left behind by other platforms that were rolled out earlier this year.

Back in March, "Watch Dogs" creative director Jonathan Morin announced via an interview with Edge Magazine that the Wii U version of the open-world action-adventure game will be delayed to make sure that the AI of the game is bug-free and the GamePad integration is working well.

"There were some areas or missions where the wires connected in the wrong way and it's not really the mission itself, it's the emergence it can create. So once you have cops showing up in a certain situation with this and with that on top of it, and it starts getting out of control in a good way, it kind of collapsed. In certain combinations, the AI didn't react at the level of quality we wanted," the director said during the interview.

Ubisoft also revealed that the Wii U version of "Watch Dogs" will come out in stores beginning Nov. 18. It coincides with the release of other highly anticipated games like "Far Cry 4," "WWE 2K15," as well as "Grand Theft Auto V."

Kotaku recently discussed that Ubisoft had distributed over nine million copies of "Watch Dogs" in different platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows. It could mean that there is a clamor for a sequel of this action-packed third person game that follows the adventures in the life of Aiden Pearce in Chicago.

"Watch Dogs" can be purchased in stores or can be digitally downloaded via Nintendo eShop for $59.99.

Those who choose to download it need to free at least 17.7 GB of space in their console to make way for the "Watch Dogs" game. A DLC is yet to be announced.
