Certainly, the studio who you outsourced the Mass Effect 3 port wanted a budget large enough to support 2 years of work with 20 developers to ensure that the game looked as good as possible and fully took advantage of the Wii U but they were only given 9 months with 12 developers because EA thought that money would see a better return on a different project.


That's where I see actual problem 3rd parties have - it's not that they can't make it look better, it's that WiiU is not strong enough to just port to it with somewhat higher settings and instanlty have better looking/performing version. If you have to spend some significant amount of extra cash to get the job done cause Ninty went tad cheap on some cruical components, that might avert early on some devs (like Metro devs) from porting at all, unless they see in some future significant user base that is actually buying usual PS30 "hardcore" titles on WiiU.
