More than likely sega is waiting on the wii U so they don't have to downgrade the game for wiiware.
I heard the Wii version of Episode 1 used synthesized instruments for the soundtrack, which made the file size much smaller. Basically midi. But apparently the other versions are not midi but streaming sound samples, which take up a lot more space.
Still, if Sega wanted to release the game on Wii badly enough, they could easily do the same to Episode 2's music for the Wii version. Unless there's something else inflating the file size besides the music. I'm going to assume there's another reason entirely, perhaps visual. They mention a new graphics engine is being implemented. I'll hold out on making assumptions until i see it in action and hear what it sounds like.
They could at least release it for 3DS and Wii U though. 3DS doesn't have the same sort of data limitations as the Wii. We've seen games on the eshop around 200MB in size.

I hate the way wiiware and savegames bloat ur Nand. With all the wiiware titles out you absolutely need emulated Nand on the wii imo.
But i don't care if its on the wii or not, its another Sonic game so im getting it
Sonic has been doing great lately so im sure ill have fun with this one as well.

Well, there's always that SD slot on the front of the Wii...then again, it's probably loaded with all the retro roms, and other wiiware/virtual console data/Riivolution files. And likely your porn stash for some reason
But yeah, Generations continues the broken curse cycle, which may end up benefiting Ep 2. Although, I'd rather they just merge them into one game, over releasing yearly installments(go back and FIX Ep 1 using the data gathered from the last two games that did well)

$60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles+1 -
@
The Real Jdbye:
especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release

The Real Jdbye:
but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will

@The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
