That is what's going on. Just the art direction would be redone so that the detail wouldn't be so obviously reduced.

being an original game does not change the specs. They don't become less just because it's a port. It just becomes more noticeable, which is basically blaming this game for making it clear what everyone already knew.

Any chance you are working on this port? How else would you know whether they're taking advantage of the Wii hardware or not?

As said before, the fact that the game features buggy animations and collision detection in official trailers doesn't exactly point at a good effort from the development team, raising many doubts that it's exploiting the hardware. But of course this doesn't stop you from defending the game based on your speculation that the Wii's specs are the problem.
