EA DICE technical director Johan Andersson revealed that the developer'sFrostbite 3 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/frostbite-3/) engine, which powers Battlefield 4 and the next entries (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/28/next-mass-effect-dragon-age-3-powered-by-frostbite-3/) in the Dragon Age and Mass Effect franchises, does not run on Nintendo's Wii U.
Responding (https://twitter.com/repi/statuses/331549012022927360) 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 Reinnoted (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/30/unreal-engine-4-not-designed-to-work-on-wii-u/) 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.
