Uuuuuh if they can't get THAT to run on the Wii U, I'm sorry but they suck at their job. I can understand CARS and other big titles and such but this isn't even impressive for its genre.

That and Nintendo made an impossible system for any third party to develop for

I have a hard time believing that.  Arkham Knight runs well, so does FAST Racing Neo.  Need for Speed Most Wanted on Wii U is better than on the 360  and PS3.  Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut is good.  Fact of the matter is, most devs at this stage are either lazy or don't see the Wii U as a worthwhile investment of time, resources, or money.  For this game, I think it's quite simple:  the party behind this game has far over stretched themselves.   But I will stand by what I said:  if you really try and put in the resources but can't get this game to run - a game which isn't impressive even by 360 and ps3 games of similar genre - on Wii U, then you simply have a deficiency of tallent.  This game presents no significant challenges from builds we've seen.  It's that simple.

You know arkham knight isn´t on Wii U, that game can barely run on PS4, arkham asylum is though ;)

Most of the ports you named where during the launch when devs tought the Wii U was worth the trouble, with it´s `special architecture`. Fast racing neo is a second party game and doesn´t seem to launch on other platforms. So it can be purely optimised for it. This game runs on UE 3 which is made for 7th gen not 8th gen and the latest version of UE3 is barely updated for WII U. Meaning that the engine itself doesn´t run to well compared to ps3 and xb360.

Though it is obvious this developer didn´t want to go trough all that trouble for a WII U port, like Sega with bayonetta on PS3. The result is a very poorly optimised copy/paste version of the 7th gen version on a console which isn´t known for it´s splendid performance with UE 3. So I doubt they really even tried and I doubt I could even blame them, because investing means money and a third party making money on U is rare enough as it is.  

Sorry sorry.  I meant Arkham City: Armored Edition. 

Fast Racing Neo is not a second party game.  In fact, it's an indie just like Mighty No 9; the Wii U version just has all their resources. 

And I agree, this is just them not investing.  I disagree that it's a bad idea; this is the exact kind of game that could make money on Wii U.  But the real issue is that the company behind Mighty No9 is doing too much too fast:  animated series, all these platforms, etc.  It's just too much.
