PvZ GW 2 on Wii U possibly?

Someone from EA, please be reading this. It is a good idea. The Wii U is an awesome system that many families have and don't want to spend money on a PS4 or Xbox One. EA also has contract with Nintend...

    Correct me if I'm wrong but a comparison between the PS4, XBox One and the Wii U has the Wii U lagging far behind the other consoles in RAM, CPU, and GPU, so honestly I'm doubtful that the Wii U even has the horsepower to run the version of the game that everyone else is playing but more to the point the last time I checked the Frostbite 3 engine (developed by DICE) which powers the game just doesn't support the Wii U in the first place.

    It's unfortunate but when the Wii U launched people who took a hard look at it's technical capabilities predicted that in two or three years it simply wouldn't be able to keep up with the PS and XBox competition and that's actually come to pass.

    It's likely that to bring the game to the Wii U would require a drastic overall of the art and the game engine and that is probably cost prohibitive, especially since the CFO of EA has gone on record stating that they consider the Wii and the Wii U to have too small of a market size to actually continue to produce games on either of those systems.

At this point I gave up on EA, PvZGW would've been perfect for the Wii U, but EA hasn't even released any recent games on the system. Wii U could easily handle a game like this.
