We've never seen a pixel of the Wii U version. Not a single soul outside their company has. We just have their word to go on and their word is pretty useless after all their "show the Wii U's hidden power" bull followed by this fiasco. Or even better, their claim they had a version running good on Wii U with the game holding up well in the most intense in game weather conditions. Something tells me that was never the case. :P
I honestly don't think an actual version ever existed and never was going to exist because there is frankly no way they could have smooth sailing development for as long as they claimed they did and then suddenly it all goes this bad. They just used the "Wii U version" to drum up hype. They couldn't hope to compete with the hype machines of Microsoft, Sony, and Ubisoft pushing their racers but there was no such racer for Wii U and they used that to get lots of coverage from Nintendo focused magazines. More than they could have gotten elsewhere.
And lo and behold as soon as they got the big money of Bandai Namco behind them they told the Wii U fan base to **** off and delayed the Wii U version (that no one anywhere had ever seen a single image of) to oblivion.
The Wii U version was a lie, always was. I'd would be stunned if they "worked" on it for more than a month before they decided it wasn't worth even trying because it either wouldn't work or would take considerable additional effort to optimize. It was a publicity stunt, plain and simple, and a sickening display of dishonesty and disrespect for their fans and followers.
