Gearbox 'really likes' Wii U, thinks Borderlands 2 would work well on the system

GN Version 4.0
"We really like the Wii U. I think it's a really cool platform. I like what they're doing - obviously with the touchscreen - and it will be interesting to see what Microsoft do with their approach to that idea. It's one of those problems of the Wii: the only people who have ever made a lot of money on the Wii is Nintendo. So we're really excited to bring Aliens: Colonial Marines to it. And we're going to do a wait and see approach, our publisher 2K is going to see whether they're going to go with that.

If Borderlands 2 was on the Wii U, the thing I would be most excited about is inventory management: it would be amazing on that, it would just be fantastic. And I think the artwork would look really good, with the way they can deal with the resolutions and textures, I think it's a really good console." - Gearbox co-founder and Chief Creative Officer Brian Martel


Keep in mind, this is in no way a confirmation of the game coming to Wii U. This particular dev was just saying that the idea works well.
