Crysis 3 was apparently ready and waiting for a Wii U release. Crytek's Cevat Yerli revealed to VentureBeat (http://venturebeat.com/2013/03/01/crytek-chief-puts-on-his-warface-interview/view-all/) that they had a Wii U version of the game that was very close to being released but poor "business support" between EA and Nintendo led to there not being a release of the game.
Is the Wii U from Nintendo even on your radar as far as making games?
Yerli: We did have Crysis 3 running on the Wii U. We were very close to launching it. But there was a lack of business support between Nintendo and EA on that. Since we as a company couldn’t launch on the Wii U ourselves — we don’t have a publishing license — Crysis 3 on Wii U had to die.
The reasons why this agreement fell through may very well forever remain a mystery.
