The Wii U can't support a game that expects a minimum amount of sales. Tony Hawk has a more similar audience to CoD because it is a mature game. The ones you cited are oriented towards kids, a strong public on Nintendo. Anyway that let's us with the following:

- Games with weak sales that sold a little less on the Wii U compared to other platforms.

- Games with strong sales on PS3/4, X360/One that sold abysmal numbers on the U.

If it was a profitable market fro 3rd parties, they would be there. They tried and they quit trying now. That's because they lost money. The platform isn't viable. The only games still there are kid-friendly ones, that found a decent niche. It's similar to Vita, where AAA games aren't feasible but it has a good niche to indie games.

3DS isn't getting 3rd party support because it can only sell a handful of 3rd party games. Devs gravitate towards PS4 and X1 because they can sell almost ALL 3rd party games.

Anyway, that's way off-topic now so I'm leaving the discussion.

You lost me there. Skating culture was incredibly popular when I was a kid. I grew up on Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3.

They didn't try, it was a half assed effort at best, I'm including the Wii era where they burned their bridges.
