Depends on how we define "handle"

What is the target platform for UE4? What kind of hardware are gamers going to need to run UE4 based games?

Unreal Engine 4’s next-generation renderer targets DirectX 11 GPU’s and really starts to become interesting on hardware with 1+ TFLOPS of graphics performance, where it delivers some truly unprecedented capabilities. However, UE4 also includes a mainstream renderer targeting mass-market devices with a feature set that is appropriate there.

WiiU has at best around 350GFLOPS, so only 1/3 of what's needed to run UE4 with those "truly unprecented capabilities". So, all games built in UE4 would need to run on it through that "mainstream" renderer - which I'm guessing is more or less UE3. WiiU does support UE3, as he said, so...
