AC3 was handed off to Ubi Quebec and Batman AC to WB Montreal.
Sonic ASR2 and Trine 2 were done inhouse by the same teams though (and are arguably the two best launch ports).

Right, I'm sure there are decisions based on timing and schedules rather than just development and polishing the games.
First point is, from launch until console end, I am "predicting" that many multiplatform ports will have some kind of flaw or annoying blemish. Whether it is a small online community, a later release date, graphical disparity, etc...
Second point is, Nintendo hardware is not JUST for Nintendo games. I'm expecting many third party exclusives. Preferably games for players over the age of 10, not necessarily "hardcore" games, but "deep, rich" games. Games that use any of the hardware features, gyroscope, touch screen, 2nd screen, wiimote+/nunchuck, ANY OR ALL, are welcome.

Well, as far as Ubisoft goes, we know it released a handful of games for the holiday season last year. I think the only one not released on Wii U was jus Far Cry 3. I don't recall if part of the reason was wanting to fine tune Rayman Legends as well.
The problem is third-party exclusives have been a dying breed on HD platforms this generation, so how is Wii U going to convince third-party publishers to support it with exclusives? Wii's exclusives mostly consisted of niche original IPs and spin-offs due to the combination of cheaper development costs, mixed userbase, and the console technically not being ideal for multiplatform support. Of course, Wii U development costs aren't goig to be quite as cheap in comparision to Wii's. Although, Ubisoft said porting games to Wii U for them was "Say less than a million Euro to make some of the ports, I would estimate. So together I don't think we have a huge investment on the Wii U."

For some reason this .gif loaded slowly. It was actually better to watch. Go figure.
Also, fine by me.

The title reminds me of a Wii U version of "Call Me Maybe" to developers. 
I get what you are saying about 3rd party exclusives. Maybe Nintendo will think it is good to pick and choose studios and publish those games like Lego City or Razor's Edge rather than have more internal teams.
But it's clear that some publisher's don't even want to spend that 1 million euro to port their game over. And even if Wii U saw more multiplatform ports rather than exclusives, the downside would be poorer use of the unique hardware.
It'll be an interesting few years, I'm sure.

Well it depends if you find GoW a good game or not and then depends if you find a bad GoW clone a good game or not
Can someone tell me what kind of question Jennifer Lawrence answered?
I, too, had WAY more fun with Lords of Shadow than with Bayonetta. Have at you!
I'm currently playing through it for the fifth time and it's really the best thing to happen to the Castlevania franchise since SotN.

Wii U walks into a bar. Sees a hot lady. The console walks up to her and says, "I'm touch-enabled." Wii U has no game.

I can't tell if this is surprising or not.
I guess I took for granted the idea that an equally-powerful system would receive the same games but apparently it is a lot more complicated than that.
In an ideal world, less ports would mean more unique Wii U-only experiences from third parties but something tells me that we're only going to see modest efforts of that kind.

A customer walks into Gamestop.
"Do you want to buy a new game?"
"Yes, of course"
"Console?"
"Wiiu..."
"...HAS NO GAMES"
