Disappointing. But it's to be expected with how poor 3rd party support was for the Wii. It'll take time before Nintendo gets all 3rd parties back on board for their consoles. They say it's a problem of resources but it's really a problem of them not seeing enough profit in porting their games to the Wii U (and Vita). The fact that codemasters say future installments could be done externally points to this.
That could change if the Wii U turns out to be a succes but it also depends on how well games like Tekken, Batman and Aliens for example do. When 3rd party dev's realize there's a reasonable amount of intensive gamers who'd like to own their games on the Wii U they'll start bringing their big franchises to the Wii U as well.
