Why didn't Nintendo never release a Mario Golf/Mario Tennis on the Wii?

With how successful Wii Sports was, why didn't Nintendo further develop the existing Golf/Tennis games on Wii sport into more in depth Mario based version. It just seem such an obvious games to make for the time and both games could have been potentially been 10+ million seller each?

like serious?!? such a good question and i really really wish i knew what went through nintendo's collective brain.

...the day mario tennis was announced for 3DS i just about cried.  it makes no sense at all.

and here i was thinking i was the only one that found it strange.

nope, if i remember right quite a few people were perplex at the time of announcement. 

saddest part is mario tennis might probably is my personal favorite nintendo franchise.  mario tennis with good motion controls would single handedly sell me a wiiU.   i was really tempted to get a 3DS for it but it just seems kind of a let down without the motion control.
