Games were a lot less complex in the past, why would they start from scratch with the all modern work they've done with the Wii U?

Why would they start from scratch? Because they are releasing a new system.

Game engines are also updated and reused on new systems.  And if porting games expedites the learning process of the new system why not use it?
