We naturally have so many backers who opted for Wii U. Because of the size of the team, we couldn’t take on all the consoles. You can imagine from a developer stand-point, that porting from PC to PS4 and Xbox One is slightly more straightforward than porting to Wii U.
“I also think it feels right playing it on a Nintendo system to some people.
“But the other versions will be fantastic as well.”
Technical art director Mark Stevenson added: “We wanted to make sure that Wii U gets the right attention. There is a lot of nostalgia around Banjo, Banjo heralds from Rare’s Nintendo’s days, and we are all massive Nintendo fans as well.”

He basically say Wii U version will be of one best versions, there is nothing from all this that you make just assume that they will canne Wii U version.
Just to be clear, they announced Wii U version of game in january 2013, they showed several times Wii U version, every time they talked about game they mentioned Wii U, at E3 Wii U version of Zelda will be only version of game, Wii U version of game is basically done, we already had basically same situation with TP and TP GC version wasn't canned, and you still think they will canned Wii U version!?
Wow, you really gives totally new meaning to pessimism.

The Wii U versions of 90s Arcade Racer, Aliens Colonial Marines, and Project Cars were also talked up by their devs as "it's going to be one of the best versions" or "it's definitely coming and it won't be a lazy port". All were cancelled.

Well there are differences, Aliens Colonial Marines is not backed project, huge amount of backers for this game are Wii U owners. Second, developers are huge Nintendo fans and game is basically spiritual successor to Banjo Kazooie 64 and they giving huge atention to Wii U version, it make sense to relase game on evre Nintendo platform they can. Third, Wii U at this point is dead and we know NX is coming in around 9 months, if they really have plans to canne Wii U version, now would best time to announce that, but instead that they confirmed Wii U version and basically said Wii U version will be one of best versions of game.
I can smell some Yooka-Laylee Amiibos too. ;)
