Observation: The same people who are commending SE for making a smart business decision by not bringing Tomb Raider to Wii U were crying their little eyes out when Revelations was not announced for PSV because it was oh so unfair and didn't make any sense. Oh, the hypocrisy.

I agree, it wouldn't make much sense to release Tomb Raider on Wii U because the game will bomb either way, being shoved between Bioshock, 2 GoW's, GTA, TLOU and all the other stuff that's coming march-may that I don't remember.

I'm pretty sure the AAA SE port for Wii U will either be Kingdom Hearts 1.5 or Lightning Returns which will make me very sad as I am not interested in any of those games. Still keeping my hopes up for Thief 4 though.

Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

So... Lightning Returns? Versus XIII?

Those Miiverse-leaked Wii U titles included a Final Fantasy game. So far they got a few right.

A somewhat legit excuse, though that is one excuse that I'm afraid of.

Developers not porting or multiplating to Wii U, because they THINK they need to do something unique or special for the Wii U.

They need to realize that you can have normal games on this device as well, it doesn't need to be tailored to use the gamepad in some unique way or any wii motes. Just have it be normal.

Worst case scenario, give it "play on the Gamepad only" capability and otherwise just put a map or a status screen on the Gamepad.

But then, as I said, I'm more interested in the AAA Square Enix game's identity than I am in Tomb Raider anyway. As I see it, the fact that the game wasn't Tomb Raider is a blessing, because it means it gets to be something else.
