Wii U Frostbite engine tests yield 'not too promising' results
Responding to fan questions on Twitter, Andersson explained that DICE's Wii U experiments with Frostbite 2 had "not too promising" results, leading to the company abandoning efforts to get Frostbite 3 up and running on Nintendo's latest console.
During the Game Developers Conference in March, Epic Games' Mark Rein noted that Unreal Engine 4 does not currently run on the Wii U. Rein later clarified, explaining that licensed developers could potentially port Unreal Engine 4-powered games to the Wii U, at their discretion

Not surprising to me. I didn't think the Wii U would be able to run it in the first place.

ChieftainOasis Really? I'm struggling to even come up with a joke now. If we're honest, (admit it) even the 360 struggled with battlefield 3. How the hell was a WiiU ever going to cope!?
I'm actually annoyed at nintendo for wasting decent developers time and money when it could be spent on more reasonable machines.
You know the Wii U is more powerful than the 360 right? It seems like they're too lazy to do the extra work to support features the Wii U has.
Yes maybe correct. But remember, Wii U came out less than a Year ago. Xbox 360 first debuted I believe in 2005. So if Microsoft came out with a console the same time nintendo did, it would be no contest which is better. I mean a console made 8 YEARS ago should already be not as good as consoles that came out 8 MONTHS ago.

Because Wii U has more graphics features? or is that too obvious?

-Luna It shouldn't be suprising. I'm suprised Nintendo even exists at this point.
You got that right.
