Would you look at that… yet another sports title will be skipping Wii U.

2K Sports confirmed to GameSpot that NBA 2K14 will not be available on the platform. Senior vice president of sports operations Jason Argent explained that the company “didn’t want to take resources” from the other versions.

Argent said:

“We are not doing a Wii U version this year. The decision was made internally that resources would be best put toward building a really, really amazing current-generation and next-generation game and we didn’t want to take resources away from creating amazing experiences on…all those platforms.”

Are any major sports titles heading to Wii U this year? There’s no Madden, FIFA, UFC, NHL, or PES titles planned.

It doesn’t sound like Marvelous AQL has forgotten about the series, at least. When Harvest Moon was mentioned by Siliconera, chief creative officer Yoshifumi Hashimoto teased: “The series is getting very interesting…”

What could that mean?
