There is a big difference between the wii and wii u. The wii ran on the bare hardware which meant game code had to optimized just for the PPC750.
So they were forced to re-use it to get 100% compatibility.
The wii u has an operating system that sits on top of the hardware, which means code doesn't need to be so finely tuned. Nano Assault Neo being ported to PS4 is a good example of this.
