From what i understand it isnt hard at all to take an SD game and just up res it in HD, which is probably why we've seen so many HD collections of PS2 era games, Spintler Cell, Sly, Metal Gear, Zone of Enders, God of War, Hitman, DMC, hell it goes on and on. Now trying to take an HD game and down port it to something like Wii? Harder.

Having dabbled in indie game dev years ago, I do know that the entire texture library would have to be rebuilt, without making the textures look washed out, and to take advantage of the more powerful systems, a dev might want to add polys to their models, to polish them up a bit. I would doubt it's a short process. Of course, if they're looking for a quick buck to port out as is, then yeah, but you'll start dealing with "jaggies" and the sort.
