I would like if someone could clarify about this, since my rants have gone always to NoA, and perhaps like you said it's mostly NCL's fault.
But I still say that NCL gives them the choices and then NoA decides what is it that they will release. For example Captain Rainbow was probably never given as a choice, but Disaster was and was ultimately declined by NoA. If I remember correctly, Reggie said the game wasn't enough quality to get released on the Wii, which sounded like BS, since it was already voice acted with American voices and was one of the big games at E3 2006.
But Nintendo isn't too keen in answering these kinds of questions, so I think we might never know the actual truth.
