Is it possible for the Wii to have games like Bioshock, MSG 4, and GTA 4?

Hypothetically, would the Wii be able to have such games, albeit with downgraded graphics of course, without drastically changing the game?

I ask because I read somewhere that COD 5 will be essentially the same game on the Wii as is on the HD consoles. I am thinking how is that going to work.

 

In general Bioshock isn't that much different from System Shock 2, Metal Gear Solid 4 is not that much different from Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3, and Grand Theft Auto 4 is not that much different than Grand Theft Auto 3; all were games that were developed for platforms which were noticeably less powerful than the Wii.

Realistically, you could create similar games on the N64/Nintendo DS if you wanted althought the downgrading in non-graphics related areas would become far more noticeable then.

Yeah, but now that we've seen the new versions of the games, let's not look back. The Wii needs unique game experiences that don't pale in comparison like those games would.
