Hi Rick, The Wii U version will likely be announced after Christmas. What your hearing in the press is simply wrong. The Wii U is much faster, it has 4x the memory, a modern CPU and GPU. Don't count Mario out of the game yet. Nintendo's heavy hitting first party titles are about to launch (Donkey Kong, Mario 3D, Zelda WW, and Mario Kart). Bugie is probably waiting until after the Christmas Holiday to make a decision based on Wii U sales which will likely grow exponentially based on Nintendo IP.
