IGA hinted as much in the past but it's official now.

Hello, this is IGA.
Thank you for always supporting us. I would like to give a message to the backers who pledged for the Wii U version of Bloodstained.
During our Kickstarter campaign, the Wii U was at the height of its popularity, but the situation has drastically changed after the release of Nintendo Switch.
This change made it difficult to receive the necessary support from the hardware maker, which has led us to drop the Wii U development and shift the development to Nintendo Switch.
We are very sorry that it has come to this after all your support, but we hope you will understand. We would like to respond by preparing options for our backers, such as moving your pledge to another version or requesting a refund if you don’t want any other version.
We hope you will continue to support us.

Sounds like a bad business practice and they're blaming Nintendo for their mistakes.

Yooka-Laylee was also cancelled for WiiU. Much more likely Nintendo is forcing these devs to jump ship.

Especially since IGA's statement outright says it's more difficult to get Nintendo's support for WiiU development now.

Yooka-Laylee said it was technical issues/just couldn't be done on Wii U, though.

I'm still skeptical on that though given just how late into development and how close to the Switch reveal they announced this.

The Yooka-Laylee thing about technical issues is totally a lie. And that's fine. And Nintendo isn't forcing devs to do anything, this is just what makes sense overall. The Wii U didn't die -- it was never alive. It was a thing that was going to get these games because it was the Nintendo console and the Kickstarters employed a lot of nostalgia directed at Nintendo fans to find success. It's been reported many times that developers were about as in the dark as the rest of us as to how quickly the Switch would be coming out. The timing lines up pretty well for canning the Wii U versions and moving to Switch development -- which is easier and more compatible with code from the other platforms.

And as for it being a bad business practice -- no, this is the opposite. This is a great business practice.
