I'm leary of this. They can say all they want, but they've shown nothing. If they really put effort into the Wii U version, then why is their no promotion or footage?
Everytime I see a dev boast of the Wii U version of the game without showing anything, I think of Alien's Colonial: Marines.

Is the Wii U harder to develop for than the Gamecube?

Curious
Yes
More or less.
As for the Wii U being harder to develop for, under what context? The GC wasn't really hard to develop for. Shading was done in a very different, non-standard way on the system, so that was difficult to implement in for most devs.

No DLC confirmed for Wii U. Way to kill off hype. Once again, don't blame the Nintendo fans when it does bad in sales.

But why does Shin'en make it seem so easy(at least they talk about it that way). Shouldn't at least some of the improvements Wii U has over ps360 be showing up by now without giving the devs headaches?
There were games that were showing superiority over the 360/PS3 at launch. There have been many since then as well. People just ignore them.

I think they ignore them because either they are late ports which no one cares about(NFSMWU) or they are indie games(trine 2). If as ubi claimed and Wii U is superior visually to ps360 on ACIV and Watchdogs and it showed why not show off gameplay of Wii u version and let gamers know.... But that's not going to happen is it? I'm not expecting much to me this is just ubi trying to make gamers think they actually cared about the Wii u port and are not lazy.
i think ubisoft has done more for wii u than any other dev, personally.

Ubisoft has done more than most of the big "publishers" (which isn't hard seeing as most have just dropped Wii U like a stone), not developers.
Criterion didn't just release a shoddy port of Need for Speed but actually made it look better on Wii U. Yes the textures were just a toggle, but they worked on the lighting too which made it (at least for a while, not sure if they ported those improvements back to PC) look nicer than PC (the lighting obviously not the lower poly models). All that despite being owned by EA who did the LEAST for the Wii U, bigging it up before launch than slamming it for selling badly despite all their launch day ports being carp.
Then there is SEGA who seem to still be supporting Nintendo.
The proof of the pudding will be seeing how Ubisoft support Wii U AFTER their new games come out. Refusing to release DLC on the Wii U version certainly doesn't look promising, but I think that is partly Nintendos fault for not having a HDD. I suspect its much harder to patch games on Wii U than other platforms.
