Why no Marvel vs Capcom 2 on the Wii

It's not like the game has HD graphics so why isn't Capcom releasing Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on the Wii via the WiiWare channel? Well Crious Gamer got a response from Capcom's Christian Svensson saying that they can't get the game under the WiiWare file size limit. They also don't have the rights to sell it as a retail purchase as well.

Now, a quick search has an interview by IGN with Nintendo's Tom Prata about a year ago discussing one of the topics being a 43MB size limit for games. He doesn't really say there the limit isn't there but there are many reports of Nintendo refuting the limit to be around 40MB. So, with the recent ability for the Wii to play games off of an SD card you would think size wouldn't be an issue. Sorry Wii folks, looks like you'll be missing out on this one for now.
