Strategy games could work so well on Wii U with the gamepad.
Sid Meier's Civilization V: The Complete Edition just released on February fith. It already has touch control integrated for Windows 8. Porting it wouldn't be much of a hassle. If 2K and Firaxis don't want to port it, then I think Nintendo should pay them to do so. If it were succesful, then it could get third parties to create/port strategy games on Wii U in the future, which, while a niche, would help Wii U. If this were to happen it would redirect business from the Steam Box to Wii U. I think the possible reward outways the risk of it being a flop, and Nintendo wasting its money.
