To the Wii U discussion
Since the SNES Nintendo home consoles don't get any good 3rd party support. Wii U will not be different despite being able to run the engines this time around. They have two major disadvantages.
One is most certainly way lower installed hardware base compared to Wii.
The other is the Wii U architecture is different from PC/PS4/720 whichare very similar and a port to either platform will be very cheap.
Thief on Wii U is unlikely unless sales of the Wii U really pick up. Until complex physics will be part of the core gameplay Wii U will be able to run stripped down versions of any PS4/720 game if the developer wants. But I doubt that the Investment will see a good enough return so they will end up doing something else.
