No WiiU version because EA is blacklisting Nintendo. I don't understand why this is still a mystery to people.

What did Nintendo do to piss off one of the largest video game publshisers in the world?

EA was initially jazzed about Wii U because they were working on a plan with Nintendo whereby EA would power the fledgeling Nintendo Network, and according to rumor, Nintendo did not like the terms EA set for that (namely that Origin would be the sole provider for all Nintendo online games) and pulled out, which made EA get all pissy and either dilute support (like the kick in the teeth that was the Wii U version of Mass Effect 3) or drop it altogether.

There is no proof of any of that

No proof otherwise either, besides increasing negative reports of EA's support of the system before launch.
