Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 is a no-go on WiiWare

If you want to play the second installment in the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 series, you’ll have to download it on a platform other than Wii. SEGA has confirmed that Episode 2 will not be released for WiiWare.
Brand Manager Ken Balough wrote on the company’s official forums:
“…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.”
The situation is most likely related to WiiWare’s file size limitation. The developers are using a new graphics engine (and a new physics engine), which may make it difficult to cram the game into 40 MB.
