Mike Capps did say that, but Nintendo apparently has upped the specs somewhat since then, so who knows?

He tweeted it just yesterday. This basically confirms that UE4 isn't gonna be on the WiiU-U. I never really believed all these BS rumors that Nintendo upped the specs of the Wii-U (dispite me wanting to). Even Digital Foundy wrote an artical saying that it's extremely unlikely the rumors we've been hearing are true about the increase in specs.

GDC was in March and Nintendo up until now says they don't want anyone talking about wii u specs. So it could still run it. It is more powerful than the other systems says gearbox. 

You're right that Gearbox said it's powerful, but he said flat-out that the Wii-U is gonna be an UE3 machine. I'm sorry, but you can't get around this fact. The Wii-U is not going to be able to run Unreal Engine 4.
