A Wii U version is not currently in the works for Nintendo's next generation console.

Resident Evil 6 will not be released on the Wii U this year, producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi told IGN in a recent interview. “Unfortunately, RE6 will not be available at this on the Wii U. Right now we’re concentrating on the Playstation 3 version, 360 version and the PC version of the game.”
Although this news may come as a serious blow to Nintendo fans, the specific words used by Kobayashi in his response by saying, “at this time,” does not count out a Wii U version some time down the road. Resident Evil 6 releases on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 this fall on October 2.
It's Capcom, it'll eventually come to the Wii U but first they need to port RE5 and RE:ORC just because they can.
Good! I don't want games to port over to the Wii U from any other console, the Wii U is unique and should be treated as such.
My guess is that this is a timing issue more than anything else. RE6 was probably too deep in development by the time Capcom got Wii U kits to warrant staffing up a new team to work on a port. It was probably easier and more cost-effective to finish the game and then gather up a team to work on porting it over, likely with extra content.

I feel like the lack of a Wii U version is part of the reason why the release date was moved up. Capcom is purposefully distancing RE6 from the Wii U launch (since it'll be in November).
It always makes more sense to put a game on a much less powerful console with an inferior controller.
That's just the rule you guys will have to re-learn over the next five years.
This better come to Wii U eventually! And it better have all the DLC on one disc or an extra chapter or something. It's time for us to get some good will for all the ignoring during the Wii era.
In the end Nintendo fans may have the last laugh, because when RE6 finally does make its way to the Wii U it will be the ultimate definitive edition of the game, just like how the Wii got the definitive best edition of RE4. So Sony and Microsoft fanboys might be laughing now, but remember he who laughs last laughs best.
Wii U doesn't need current generation table scraps! It's TRUE next gen.
Yeah, who needs RE6 when you can have Resident Evil Snap, the next-gen on-rails photography game (hey, that Tablet has to be good for something) where you try to take the best pictures of various Resident Evil abominations? ;)

That actually sounds pretty awesome. Especially if they have nice HD rotatable camera modes of Jill... or Rebecca.... Sheva... mmmm.....
All that aside, the two Chronicles games were great. I'm actually finishing the last of the Darkside Chronicles titles at the moment.
I'm pretty sure RE6 will be released on the WII U and the only reason why Capcom hasn't announced it yet it because of the "non-disclosure" agreements set up in place.

Considering that Ubisoft has already announced Assassin's Creed 3 for Wii U (as well as Sega with Aliens: Colonial Marines and THQ with Darksiders 2), I find it unlikely that there are NDAs blocking Capcom from announcing this.
I don't expect a port for RE5 before RE6 or even at all. It'll probably cost Capcom the same amount of resources to port either game over and RE6 has a better chance of selling and at full price due to being newer. Economically, it makes more sense for them to just port RE6.
Assassin's Creed III was not part of Nintendo's E3 showing, it was only confirmed as a Wii U game like a month ago (the game itself was only announced last October).
At least it isn't going to be an on rails spin off. ;)
? Are you kidding me? The gun was overkill in my opinion. The AI only reacts to you if you standing in an area but outside of that you'll be able to kill them without themeven reacting.
Kinda killed the fun out of brotherhood since you didn't even need to bother with stealth anymore. All you had to do was double tap the action button, first to auto-target and blam--another body hit the floor.
