You asked why Nintendo financed TMS but not W101. Platinum games approached Nintendo with the idea of a W101 multi plat port from the beginning (Platinum is pursuing a self publishing future) which is why Nintendo did not finance it but did for TMS, which performed much worse than W101. 

It did?

62.) The Wonderful 101 (Nintendo) 0.36m   15th Sep 13

W101 released within the first year of the WiiU's launch.  TMS released less than a year before the Switch launched, but had nearly the same lifetime sales.  I wouldn't call that "much worse".

And if someone say that TMS was a bigger flop but manage to receive funding for port, TW101 couldn't be said to not receive funding for port due to being a flop.

Also I'll say that over 10% pre-order (compared to the total on WiiU) for a game that didn't have critical reception, need to pay in advance, isn't groundbreaking, and is several years old is actually good number. Even more when the port is so badly made.
