While it does fit the Nintendo audience more lets it wouldn't have sold best on Wii U espically when the Xbox One alone has about double the amount of hardware sales and if a lot of the rumors about the Switch are true like say Pokemon Stars it will likely the Switch will likely have a bigger install base then the Wii U by the end of 2017. 

Well depends, shovel knight sold better on wiiu than the other home console versions, with no new games coming it had a chance of selling really well, also depends though how many WiiU owners are going to get a Switch could of affected sales of the game so maybe thats a reason it was cancelled.

It probably had something to do with the Wii U getting it a year before the Xbox One and PS4.
