"The title was set to feature online multiplayer and several features that are being implemented for the new console versions."
Isn't the Wii a "new console" as well?

I like the "let's ignore the console that's been sold out for two straight Christmases" attitude.

I think Sony and/or Microsoft paid them to not release a Wii version. I mean Why would you make a game on the PS3.. they are so little owners compared to the Wii. It doesn't make sense.
If what I said is ot true.. then why won't the company focus on the Wii, they are more Wii users then on the PS3 and XBox 360

No one paid them anything. There is a trend right now that hardcore 3rd party games don't sell on the Wii. It might have a huge userbase, but people are buying minigames and casual friendly games. The only exception to this is really RE4 which is a great game. It is too risky to put this on Wii, as its possible it will fail like Zack and Wiki. A great game, but killed by Nintendo's superior 1st party games.

No, Zack and Wiki didn't sell because it does not look like a game that would be interesting to play. I"m not saying that the graphics suck, but the overall design and look of the games does. I cannot get into Dragon Quest for the same reason.

Superior perhaps, depending on your preferences. But Nintendo's 1st party games mostly outsell the rest because they are significantly better advertised. It's easy to pontificate about Nintendo's software godliness, but it's a matter of publishing and marketing.
3rd parties shouldn't have to meet Nintendo standards just to sell 1,000 copies. That's a shitty excuse. If Nintendo pushes Wii/Sports/Play/Fit during Oprah, on the Food Network, or in an IKEA catalog, obviously those sales won't trickle down into NMH.
There's also the feeling that spending $50 dollars on a good-to-decent Wii game that you may or may not like is worse than doing the same for a $60 PS3 or 360 game. It probably has to do with the fact that Wii games usually hinge on the control feature, whereas the other console games typically have the graphics/CPU glitz and a beefy multiplayer mode which has an inherent replay value for most people.

Why would they ditch the Wii version? Look at the sale figures:
Worldwide sales figures
1. Wii: 20.13 million, as of December 31, 2007
2. Xbox 360: 17.7 million, as of January 3, 2008
3. PlayStation 3: 5.59 million, as of September 30, 2007
US sales figures
1. Xbox 360: 9.15 million, as of January 1, 2008
2. Wii: 7.38 million, as of January 1, 2008
3. PlayStation 3: 3.25 million, as of January 1, 2008

Yeah the Wii is king of the userbases but you guys need to look at software numbers. These are the most important thing to look at. PS3 and 360 3rd party games sell great. Wii 1st party games sell great and are often at the top of the charts. SMG, Wii Sports, Wii Play, Links Crossbow, GH3, Mario and Sonic and Mario Party are the best selling Wii games right now. Out of those games, 2 are 3rd party games. That is a horrible attach rate for 3rd party games. The PS3 and 360 both have more people buying games for those systems. I believe this is why they have put this version on hold. Userbase is nothing if the users don't buy games...

Bah. How many non-minigame third-party games on the Wii are (a) worth purchasing and (b) ADVERTISED!?!? Outside of Nintendo commercials, I only recall seeing Raving Rabbids commercials. Anyone else?

Thanks for reporting it guys. I was loving this game. Them staying firm on PS3 and dumping Wii is a slap in the face. I get why they have to pursue DS and 360, but c'mon.
Everyone who cares should visit that forum link and tell them you're upset. They won't know if you don't tell them.
