Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 made it out for WiiWare over a year ago, but it doesn’t sound like the sequel will arrive on Nintendo’s current home console. Episode 2 was officially announced today, but SEGA made no mention of a Wii version. Digital Brand Manager Ken Balough told GameSpot that the game will be released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Android, Windows Mobile 7 phone, and iOS devices.

Despite WiiWare’s file size limitations, Episode 1 ended up on the Wii Shop Channel without any issues. Balough did say that the new title will make use of a new graphics engine. Could that be the reason why there won’t be a WiiWare version?

Cambridge, Mass. – December 28th, 2011 – Harmonix today announced that Rush’s ambitious seven-part suite “2112” will come to the Rock Band™ Music Store of downloadable content for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Wii™.

In 1976, legendary Canadian rock trio Rush released their groundbreaking fourth studio album, 2112. With its opening track – a 20-minute, seven-part suite known as “2112” – Rush painted a picture of a sci-fi world in the midst of a revolution, controlled by technology. An alternate take of this epic suite, largely considered one of the most important pieces in progressive rock, comes to Rock Band just in time for the New Year.
