Well ...
It is my opinion that the majority of HD games could have been produced with very minimal (non-graphical) downgrades on the Wii had it been a major focus from the begining; if you're designing the game around the limitations of the Wii and then upgrading it for the HD platforms you will get optimal results for the games with minimal loss on the HD platforms.
The problem is that most of these games were designed around the HD platforms, and certain design decisions (both artistic and technical) are very difficult to deal with when you're attempting to downgrade the game to run on the Wii.
