 Awesome I appreciate that a lot

Not sure why they didn't have that option.

Graphically yes it is just an HD upgrade of the Wii version, which lesser effort than pushing the WiiU to its limit. 

 

It's because the Wii U version is a port of the 3DS version rather than the Wii version. :( baffling decision.

Basically, the Wii version is the actual game, Kodakowa (I think) decided they also wanted a 3DS version of the game so made that themselves. Then the Wii version got delayed until well after the Wii U was out, so Kodakowa decided they wanted to release the game for Wii U rather than Wii.
