Sega Superstars Tennis lack of Wii, DS online due to 'time constraints'

Were you wondering why the DS and Wii versions of Sega Superstars Tennis lacked online play? Developer Sumo Digital claims that the features weren’t added due to time constraints. I understand that the control schemes for the two systems are very unique, and they take more time to get working properly. The thing is, did they really take up so much time that online couldn’t have been added? SST seems like a game that makes the most sense on Wii and DS. I would think that development started on these versions first…but perhaps I’m wrong.
