there's no excuse. most never released a single game for wii u. even obvious choices, like FF 15, FF type 0, kingdom hearts and revelations 2 aren't confirmed. porting is porting, we aren't talking about alien tech.

Sorry but those are not obvious choices...

-There has not been a FF game on the console for a long time, so the audience is not there (or at least is not obvious that is there)

-Kingdom Hearts games have never been released on Nintendo home consoles, so not obvious

-RE: Revelations sold very poorly on the Wii U (100k according to VGChartz), so that already proved that it is not an obvious choice

You can argue that a game like Dragon Quest Heroes is a decent option (Zelda Musou did ok, and DQX is on the Wii U), or maybe something like porting MH4 U for the console could do well, specially if Nintendo does the distribution in the West, there could be other options but very few are obvious choices.

Last I checked, ff 13-3 sold less on x360 than many multiplats on wii u and SE is still putting those games on the far less successfull x1. FF 15 and type 0 on wii u are obvious choices because of the bigger japan installed base and general audience. you also have to remember that even the low cost non numbered FF crystal chronicles sold more than a million on gamecube.

kingdom hearts hasnt been released on a sony home console for a long time, so the audience is not there (or at least is not obvious that is there). see how your first point is baseless now? also, KH was never on a xbox console. the fact stands that kingdom hearts always sells well on nintendo handhelds and it makes absolute sense to have a version of KH 3 on wii u. being the lead home console in japan helps.

Revelations was a late 3ds port, thus all post 3ds versions lost potential. but the important part is that the wii u version sold half of what the 360 version sold, with it's 10x+ bigger installed base. now compare wii u vs xone installed bases, especially in japan. you can either argue that it shouldn't be on neither wii u nor x1, or that it should be on wii u, but not x1 (that is, if you want to exclude at least one platform).
