Update: It turns out that the comments below shouldn’t be taken at face value, as the page is not run by Slightly Mad Studios. Apologies for the confusion.
Bandai Namco, the distributor of Project CARS, has already weighed in on the racer’s Wii U delay. Now we have a few words from the game’s developer as well.
On Facebook, Slightly Mad Studios explained that Nintendo’s platform “uses a substantially different architecture to other consoles and the PC”, which means more time is needed “to code to the same quality of the other releases.” Ultimately the team needs a bit more time to adapt Project CARS for Wii U.

TreeFall Studios’ 2D platformer Gem Collector may come to Wii U. The indie developer confirmed on Twitter today that it’s something being attempted at the moment. If TreeFall is able to figure things out, Gem Collector will come to the eShop sometime in the future.
@PBZReviews I am trying to port that one actually! It is kind of difficult, if I can figure it out, then it should be easy from there! 😀

Epic Minds’ 2D action-adventure title Midora is coming to both Wii U and 3DS following a successful campaign on Kickstarter. Earlier today, the total amount raised surpassed $60,000, which was the project’s goal.
Midora’s Kickstarter does have platform-specific stretch goals (including a $80,000 goal for Wii U/3DS), though they are unlikely to be met as less than two days remain the crowdfunding campaign. However, Epic Minds has already confirmed that not reaching these goals shouldn’t cause any issues. Not hitting them simply means that Midora will be brought to additional platforms slightly later.

Bandai Namco has issued an official response regarding Project CARS’ delay on Wii U.
We learned earlier today that the racer won’t be arriving on Nintendo’s console until 2015. The PS4, Xbox One, and PC versions are still due out in November of this year.
