They didnt make Risen 3 from scratch, thats my point. ITs as much a new game as the yearly Maddens. Your refusing to take into account the completly different architecture of the Wii u versus the others. Ninty once again put out a system for themselves first and everyone esle 2nd. Clearly if the games arent running that well on Wii U, which is something people here swear is the case then its a HW issue right there. So they either get the worst version that no on will buy or get no game at all. Ill go with option 3 they get it on there non Ninty system which is what damn near everyone does anyway.
Oh come on the budget of Risen 3 isnt even close to something of AC or COD dont care how you may want to spin that.

nah risen 3 had some new areas, new gameplay mechanics, ship fights and alot more gameplay tweaks. Its not like fifa or madden, hell all the dialioge and the voice acting + localization etc.
Btw, lets forget risen 3. Witcher 3 cost 30 mio to made. ALOT voiceacting, incredibly huge world, 3 systems (pc, xbox ps), alot localizations, good graphics. All that 30 mio. So how much will a port from 360 to wii u cost? More then 5mio ? :D I guess 1 mio is pretty accurate.

Witcher 3 is developed in Poland where labor costs are waaaaaay cheaper than most counrties. That game would probably cost double to develop elsewhere.
Also what people don't understand is it doesn't matter if a port would be cheap. All studios have a finite number of resources, why waste a chunk of your developers time to work on a port that *maybe* will break even barely at best when you could allocate those developers to start working on Witcher IV for example?
I'd rather invest in a project that's going to sell me another 5-6 million, rather than something that might scrape by at 200k at best.
