In other words, Crytek is seriously considering the possibility, now - likely because Nintendo spoke with them and offered them something. Not likely to be money... but I could definitely see something like "Nintendo officially endorses the use of CryEngine 3 for Wii U development". After all, while CryEngine is available for licensing, relatively few studios are actually using it - they're all biasing towards Unreal Engine.
Meanwhile, Epic spoke warmly about the Wii U... and then decided that they're not going to officially support Wii U with Unreal Engine 4. A deal with Crytek benefits Nintendo by having an "official" engine fully supported for Wii U development, while Crytek gets the weight of Nintendo's support to encourage broader use of CryEngine.
