As was already known yesterday, Ken Balough has once again confirmed that the second episode of Sonic 4 won’t come to the Nintendo Wii:
Because making money is a horrible reason to do something. You uhhh volunteer your time at your job right?
But no – the reason Episode I was on the Wii was because we wanted to bring the Sonic 4 saga to the widest possible audience. Episode II unfortunately will not be coming to the Wii – for reasons most people have probably guessed, but that doesn’t mean the SEGA isn’t supporting Nintendo platforms, we have a very strong partnership and will continue to do so.
While this sounds bad, that doesn’t mean the game won’t come to the Nintendo 3DS or the Wii U, right?

Nintendo’s online system is so far behind Microsoft and Sony it’s pretty pointless to get any multiplatform game from them. Plus, it’s in standard def, so there really is zero benefit other than a potential preference for the Wii controllers. In today’s era though, what gamer doesn’t have more than one system anyway?
