Love it when people say "Also Graphics wise it would Be Impossible".
Ever heard of the word "optimize"?

Not have the same level of graphics yes, it would be more than likely impossible(impossible is an absolute term, but we are dealing with reality here) with the gpu in the wii is barely better than the old xbox and inferior when it comes to shaders, no amount of optimization would be able to make up on the hardware difference.

about the article
Could it still run on the wii, at a lower graphics lvl, if the devs spent enough time, money and made a new engine yes it probably would. Its not merely the graphics also ai or physics. Would the wii do the explosions right, what about downloadable content, the cpu also comes into play here.

If the airlines really wanted to it would be possible to have nuclear powered aircraft, and how many of those have you seen? Just because something isn't impossible doesn't mean its practical or cost effective.

@sidar
Your a wii owner since when do wii owners actually care about graphics, it all about the game play isn't it or so the nintendo fanboys have told us non wii owners.

This is their nice way of saying they don't think it is worth the expense of releasing it on the wii, because no one will buy it, like some other third party games that have.

And yes sidar, i know you will shoot back with but resident evil 4 sold blah blah, probably previous gc or ps2 owner that bought a wii also picked up re4 for the wii.

Tell me a new core third party game not an old on, that sells good on the wii in numbers equivalent to its next gen counter parts. So what third party game on the wii has come close to gta 4 or mgs 4 sales numbers, to make it fair i wont mention cod 4's numbers.

One thing i find alot more surprising is mercenaries 2 is coming out for the ps2 but not the wii, obviously hardware isn't an issue hence the ps2 version of the game.

So what is the reason, that there is no wii version, it's not like it has a low install base which wii owners are so proud to remind ps3 and 360 owners of when they get the chance to. It could be simple or it could be a damning answer, i am curious to hear it ether way.

It's funny that you say that. Recently MS has been acting as if it wants to take down the PS2 (especially with a price cut on arcade, and buying out former-PS exclusives), yet they'll fall flat on their faces trying to compete with it.
