Sigh, Fact Check:

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/03/epic_games_developers_can_use_unreal_engine_4_for_wii_u_titles


Sigh, link wars

https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/playstation-4-and-xbox-one-now-supported

https://www.unrealengine.com/custom-licensing

No mention of wii u on official site even with "wii u site:https://www.unrealengine.com/"

Because Epic personally isn't supporting Unreal Engine 4 on the Wii U does not mean other developers can't bring a game that uses Unreal Engine 4 to the platform, which is what the vice president Mark Rein was saying. Posting a link that only mentions official support from Epic says nothing to support your claim that Unreal Engine 4 cannot be used on the Wii U. Here's another source, by the way.

"If someone wants to take Unreal Engine 4 and ship a game on Wii U, they can! If they wanna ship an Unreal Engine 4 game on Xbox 360, they could make it happen." While that game might not look as pretty as it would on a "true" next-gen console, the new engine is scalable to a variety of platforms, including mobile."
