I'd definitely buy a copy of Nintendogs for the Wii. However, I think Nintendo have thus far chosen not to do so, because the game is far more suited to the on-the-go, pick-up-and-play nature of a handheld format. Furthermore, IR controls do not compare so well to the tactile sensation of the touch screen. Moreover, only now, with the release of Wii speak is the Wii capable of supporting the voice recognition features that made the DS version so appealling.
In fact, I'd go as far as to say that Nintendogs was created specifically to show off the functionality of the DS in the same way that Wii Sports does so for the Wii. Hence, it's far better suited to the DS platform.
