Like I wrote at first, TP porting on Wii and very likely possible Zelda U porting on NX doesn't have anything with controls, its all about strong launch title and much better sales for game.

Again, we don't know if NX will have BC at all, and if will have BC we don't know if it will need Wii U controller in order to play it. Point is If you make Zelda U NX game too and launch it with NX, use it to promote NX and reverse use NX to promote game, you will definitely have much stronger sales of game than if it's Wii U exclusive. No to mentione being NX launch title very help launch. Its common business sense, basically you have only positive staffs making Zelda U port like NX launch title, you dont have any negative staffs.

It was because of controls. Porting a game doesn't change it's base. Zelda U is a Wii U game. If nintendo wants the game to push wii u's successor hardware, they can just market the game a lot + making sure people know it's compatible with both systems. In the end, while it is possible, nintendo has no reason to port it.

No it wasn't because of controls, it was beacuse sales of game and great launch game for Wii. Zelda U curently is a Wii U game but if they ported to NX for launch it will also NX game same like TP is also Wii game.

Why they would promote game from previous system that failed hard and that is dying and that is basically at end of life, when they have completely new platform that needs to be promoted hard, they will port that game and made it launch title for that new system (basicly maide it NX game) and promote it like totally new game for totally new platform. What do you think, what variant of those two will sell much more copies of game and what variant will have much stronger impact on NX launch!? Answer is pretty obvious, Its common business sense.

Again, we don't know if NX will have BC at all, and if will have BC we don't know if it will need Wii U controller in order to play it, but you are pretty certain about that. Even NX has BC (I will say chances are around 50% for BC) in some way I am pretty sure Nintendo will port Zelda U and make it NX launch title.

TP is a gamecube game. Zelda U is a wii u game, no porting will change that. If nintendo wants the game to push the next hardware, they can do so with marketing.
