You can't expect AC IV: BF to run the same way on Wii U and X1. The X1 is far more powerful than a Wii U.

Also publishers publish games only when they sell and turn a large-enough profit. Ubisoft games sell on X1 so they support the platform and they don't sell on Wii U so they don't suppot the platform. Its that simple.

But the least you could expect is that it should run equal or better to the ps360 versions, and it didn't. That isn't the Wii U's fault, it is Ubi's fault.

Its the WiiUs fault, specifically its CPUs fault. Every game with fps problems on the WiiU tends to have many characters on screen and most of these characters animation deformations and physics is calculated on the CPU. Many devs complained bluntly about its CPU at launch.

Not that I am a dev or anything, but I'm fairly certain that the Wii U's Cpu is better than for example the 360's CPU

"As far as graphical processing and such, it's not much of an issue. But as far as the CPU goes, the clock is kinda low,”

"One of the weaknesses of the Wii U compared to PS3 and Xbox 360 is the CPU power is a little bit less...So for games in the Warriors series, including Dynasty Warriors and Warriors Orochi, when you have a lot of enemies coming at you at once, the performance tends to be affected because of the CPU."

"Wii U has a horrible, slow CPU..... We had an early look at it, we thought we could probably do it, but in terms of the impact we would make on the overall quality of the game – potentially to its detriment – we just figured it wasn’t worth pursuing at this time. It’s something we might return to. I really couldn’t make any promises, though"

I've noticed it myself in games like Mass Effect 3 (citadel levels), emmediately I leave an elevator and walk towards the presidium commons (with about 40 - 50 NPCs) boom, the framerate tanks.
