“I can say we currently don’t have any plans for the Wii. The Wii is a very difficult platform, not just because of the performance but mainly because of the controls. There haven’t been any successful shooters so far, as I see it, on Wii. DICE as a studio is quite autonomous. We focus on what we think is best for the studio. If that involves Nintendo or not, well we’ll see about that.” – DICE producer Patrick Liu

I wouldn’t exactly say there haven’t been any successful shooters on Wii. Some might count Metroid Prime 3 as a shooter (or at least somewhat), and Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 had spot-on controls. It’s true that there haven’t been a plethora of titles to choose from, but there have been some successful shooter titles/shooting elements from games.
