Wii KSP - what happened?

[Second Hand Rocket Science]

Hey y'all,

Recently I was reading up about a Wii release of KSP that was supposed to come out in 2016. I can't find anything about why it never arrived; can anybody here enlighten me? I don't have a Wii personally, but I'm curious and I have a few friends with Wiis. I know that the Wii is discontinued yet I can't help but wonder.

Can you link to what you were reading?

The Wii, even when it was relevant, is very underpowered and not at all designed to handle the kinds of demands KSP would throw at it.

Even if it was, they're not going to push out a new version of a game that's stopped development and onto a retired platform.

This was actually news to me. 

They did, however,  announce it was coming to Wii U, but not the Wii:

But "shortly" afterwards, they stated it was on hold:

And since we haven't heard a peep about it since, I would strongly imagine it never got beyond the planning stages.

I could swear it was for the Wii...

Anyways, thanks for your help.
