<p><em><a href="https://bagogames.com/check-out-this-project-cars-preview/">Project CARS</a> </em>is raced to just about every current-gen system since its release earlier this month, but it looks like it&#8217;ll take a bit longer to park itself on Wii U after some serious technical issues plaguing the slick motor-sport racer.</p>
<p>Upon inquiry, Slightly Mad Studio&#8217;s Ian Bell admitted that he and his team were having some difficulties getting the game to run at as polished of a level on Nintendo&#8217;s HD console than its newer peers.</p>
<p><em>Project CARS</em> is reportedly running at &#8220;23 fps&#8221; at a 720p resolution – specs that Bell&#8217;s none too pleased with and neither is his studio. He conceded that launching the game on Wii U as planned might require some sacrifices on the part of the game&#8217;s graphics than its gameplay if it can be helped.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;We could reach a fairly solid 30FPS but it might take a hell of a lot of work,&#8221; he says. &#8220;On the other hand, about halfway through us finishing, Nintendo might announce a new console (I have zero knowledge on this BTW but I&#8217;ve heard &#8216;rumours&#8217;). Our work might just be the best thing that ever hit that new console in the driving sim genre.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>In the wake of these troubles, Bell alludes to Nintendo&#8217;s <a href="https://bagogames.com/nintendo-announces-new-mobile-deal-teases-nx-platform/">much-hinted at NX game platform</a> as a more viable alternative for <em>Project CARS</em> should Slightly Mad Studios not be able to implement an acceptable solution to the game&#8217;s performance.&#8221;Honestly, unless we really cut the looks back I think we&#8217;re looking to Nintendo&#8217;s next console,&#8221; he further writes. The NX, which was teased earlier this year, won&#8217;t be fully revealed until later next year.</p>
<p>Originally released worldwide <strong>May 7th </strong>for Playstation 4, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and Steam OS for PC, <em><a href="http://www.projectcarsgame.com">Project CARS</a></em> offers players a change to get behind the wheel of an ultra-realistic driving simulator with dynamic weather effects at 1080p and 60 frames-per-second. The game has yet to be released on Wii U and might just take a while longer if these reports are any indication</p>
