Perhaps they're all TBA. What retail 3rd party games are coming to Wii U in 2014?

How is this poor attempt of trolling relevant to the topic?

There are a few Kickstarter indie games coming. Someone had a list, I'll try to find it. There were even one or two by renowned indie devs.

Downloadable.
There's Watch Dogs, assuming it's still coming to Wii U. And...that's all I can think of. Just Dance and Skylanders surely. Are there any other multiplatform titles announced for Wii U?

I doubt that after all of their games flopped hard on Wii U.
Well, for Ubisoft's announced 2014 games that are releasing on console:
On Wii U:
-Child of Light
-Watch Dogs
Not On Wii U:
-The Division
-The Crew
-Valiant Hearts
-South Park

Rayman Legends sold better on Wii U. At least at launch.
I thought that madden 2012 let you do that.
Anyway, it looks more and more like the system is going to be an indie and Nintendo machine. If Nintendo can keep the indie titles coming regulkarly I can live with that.
As well, I will buy any good 3rd party title that come but I am not holding my breath. I really want games developed specifically for the systen/gamepad not cross platform stuff. If Nintendo was smart they would have done everything they could to get the tools for making exclusive type games in to everyones hands, and combining it with an easy to develop environment that helps minimize costs and risks. Bigger publishers would put games on the system if they knew they would make money.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Is there honestly any interest in multiplatform games on the WiiU? Why would anyone want to play Watchdogs on it instead of just waiting until they can get a PS4 or an Xbone or something?
Genuine question -- I really don't understand.

Watch Dogs, Lego Movie, Lego Hobbit, Project CARS, Child of Light. CoD will probably appear as well. Doubt AssCreed will (maybe a port of the PS3/360 game if that rumour is true).
Skylanders, Disney Infinity 2 and Just Dance are very likely. That's it really as far as we know. Outside of maybe a random port like Remember Me or Diablo 3 (ported by a random studio like Straight Right or something).
EDIT: Forgot about the second Spider-Man game.

I find it weird that Child of Light is on Wii U, but not Valiant Hearts, considering both are downloadable and were announced the same day.

I would guess they did some kind of combined demographic + team size calculation and decided it made sense for one and not the other.

We need another Nintendo Direct 3rd party sizzle reel. I think we got one in February at the beginning of the year, so its about time for another...if there are enough games to make a sizzle reel.

When's 'secret Wii U game' out?

What if they don't want to own those consoles? Or just can't?
"Why don't console owners just wait until they can play Watchdogs on a gaming PC?"
See how that sounds?
Third party games are usually not those that are published and funded by Nintendo. Same holds true for Hyrule Warriors.

That's a Nintendo published game. 3rd party stuff as in games from other publishers.

The Division and The Crew are understandable, south park maybe, but I can't think in any reason for Valiant Hearts to not be on Wii U, especially that child of light is on Wii U. So why is Ubisoft not doing a Wii U version of the game?
A more reasonable question would be why they are bringing Child of Light to Wii U.
Ubisoft said a few months ago that if sales of their Wii U games continued to be so low, they would drop support.
I guess that happened.
The people you're describing are a microscopic audience. For example, the Wii U was 1% of AC4 sales. That's incredibly low, even considering the smaller userbase.

Due to EA's unprecedented partnership with Nintendo, there probably won't be any NHL games on Wii U for a long time. And the only other rival I can think of, 2K's NHL, isn't being made anymore as far as I know (last one was NHL 2K11?).
At it's height, I could see some shovelware ice hockey title for Wii U in some bargain bin. If Nintendo doesn't make an ice hockey title that is. But that probably would end like Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball.
What did you expect? The console still have not sold a million there and 3rd party games bombed on it.
