SEGA explains why Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 isn’t being made for WiiWare
Sonic Team boss Takashi Iizuka…
“Our intention was to release Episode 2 on Wii as well. But, there’s a limitation on the size of the game you can release on WiiWare. Because Sonic 4 Episode 2 has cutscenes, and the graphics aren’t 2D pre-rendered images – it’s all 3D – all those things together made the game too big to be released as a WiiWare title. So, unfortunately, this time we had to give up on releasing it on the Wii platform.”
That sounds like a good enough reason for me. I hope we will be seeing Sonic 4: Episode 2 on the Wii U .

Ya know. This isnt the first time a game developer has looked over the Wii for size reasons. I hope the Wii U will eliminate any worries future projects developers may have. Because I gotta tell ya. As a hardcore Nintendo fanboy, having the Wii looked down upon because of these reasons….I cant blame people for going to XBox360 and PS3.

I agree with everything you just said. Hopefully Nintendo sees this problem and plans to fix it.
