Something i read today which maybe ? highlights issues of 3rd party support for the wii-u

GamesBeat: Is the Wii U from Nintendo even on your radar as far as making games?
Yerli: We did have Crysis 3 running on the Wii U. We were very close to launching it. But there was a lack of business support between Nintendo and EA on that. Since we as a company couldn’t launch on the Wii U ourselves — we don’t have a publishing license — Crysis 3 on Wii U had to die.

What this is saying is that EA refused to license the game on the WiiU even though the developer wanted to.  The theory is that the EA-Nintendo relationship went sour when Nintendo refused to have Origin as the basis for the online portion of the WiiU.
