It was a very different situation on GC, making games for that level of hardware is easier than on Wii U. GC also wasn't selling as badly as Wii U is, and Pikmin 2 arrived over a year and half before the GC was replaced, so there was no pressure to bump it to the next generation like there is now with Pikmin 4.

Of Course that was easier to make games for GC than for Wii U, but that change anything. GC was worst selling Nintendo console till date and Wii U is now worst selling console till date, Wii U will have shorter life than GC so Nintendo needs to support to the end. We had Pikmin on GC, than Nintendo make sequel using same engine, assets and models. Nintendo probably is doing same for Wii U. So that's very similar not very different situation.

GC in 2004 was in a much less desperate position than Wii U will be in 2016. 

There's a significant difference between a system 19 months from replacement and on course to sell 22 million and a system in its final 6 months and on course to sell 14 million.
