[Update: EA's response: "Brütal Legend was never announced for the Wii." That's ... true ...]
Remember the rumored Wii version of Brütal Legend? It was rumored that EA planned to release a Wii version of the video game, developed by someone other than Double Fine. The very mention of the project made Tim Schafer uncomfortable.
According to Destructoid, that Wii release, which we don't even know was real to start with, has been canceled. "Word has it that quality assurance testers who moved from Electronic Arts to Double Fine were recently let go," Destructoid notes, "after the demise of the project left their services unnecessary."
Whether the video game was real and canceled or never existed at all, the net effect would seem to be the same: no Brütal Legend video game on Wii. If it really was so bad that EA decided to cancel the project, we can only feel grateful that the company didn't subject Wii fans to the kind of embarrassment we had to endure whenever a screenshot of the Wii Dead Rising came out.
