Wii U's failing 3rd Party support

Crysis 3 was said to be running fine on WiiU, but EA axed the project for "butthurt" reasons.

Metro Last Light was said to not be on WiiU mainly because of the Weak CPU, but got it to work on PS3 and 360 just fine, the reality was that they just decided it wasn't worth their time and effort.

Tomb Raider isn't on WiiU because...well we actually don't have a real good reason except this "All three [other console and PC versions] are really trying to deliver roughly the same experience, but delivered best on each platform, and I think something like the Wii U often asks you to do something unique based on a unique interface," Hughes added. "That's something as a gamer I love, but it's something you don't want to do half-heartedly as a developer." But hey let's just give PS4 and Xbox One a shinier version of the game.

Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 will not be on WiiU due to Mercury Stream not having the Budget or Resources Available for WiiU and nothing was said about Castlevania Mirror of Fate HD.

No reason except an EA Reason for why Dead Space 3 wasn't on WiiU.

Despite Platinum making Bayonetta 2 and Releasing The Wonderful 101 on WiiU, Konami will not release Metal Gear Rising on WiiU until there is "demand" for it.

Saints Row IV didn't come to WiiU because the Developers wanted to Focus on "Current Gen Consoles."

Grand Theft Auto 5 may still be a possibility, but it's highly unlikely.

EA gave a "Tomb Raider" Response for why there's no Battlefield for WiiU.

and why no Elder Scrolls? Because it's "not on [their] radar."

No Dark Souls 2 Because "...the audience for the Wii U is a lot different from the audience for Dark Souls.”

No Bioshock because "Nothing is brewing right now"

Resident Evil 6 is just not planned and will never be planned for WiiU. ("We're focusing on New Games not Ports")

Ultra Street Fighter IV will not be on WiiU

No FarCry 3 on WiiU because the game was just not considered for WiiU development.

No Borderlands 2 for WiiU because: “We get asked if there is going to be a Wii U version of Borderlands, and the reason why there's not is because we couldn't think of a natural, obvious, 'OMG, I want that for what the Wii U brings to the table' feature,”

No Aliens because well it was terrible. (so Gearbox didn't want to bring Borderlands 2 for WiiU because they're just terrible.)
