I guess you didn't really read it then. The game was originally envisioned for GC but, early on, it was decided that it would be released on both platforms. Plenty of time for development.

Anyway, it doesn't matter; the game was released on both systems almost simultaneously (Wii first). These two facts hardly imply that this was a GC game ported to the Wii. Years of development were spent specifically on the Wii version.

It was a button press for most of the Wii development too, motion control was a last minute addition, as they struggled to convert the controls originally designed for the GameCube, as the game's director explains here::
