Turns out there's another team working on the Wii U version of Aliens: Colonial Marines. It has been revealed that Demiurge Studios spent 9 months in prototype, but now they're overseeing the Wii U adaptation. No worries though, as Gearbox's Randy Pitchford checks in on the project often.

"When I play with the controller, I immediately realize that for the types of games I like to play and make, this is the best controller I've ever had from Nintendo. For Aliens: Colonial Marines, it's really exciting to have that screen there because I can do things that are very unique to this universe. For instance, we have a motion tracker in this universe. Now our motion tracker can literally be in our hands and we can see and hear it –and scan the room in 360 degrees, since it's a motion device."
