I think the Wii version has voice unlike the DS one. Just like the GB Advance version.
Edit.
I saw news of these releases and I'm sure I read somewhere what I typed above.
Going over it again 10 minutes later I can't find the source.
Anybody or am I going mad? The latter I think. Sorry.

Maybe it's because both Nintendo platforms actually have controllers that make adventure games playable? (stylus, Wiimote)

They should have released a PC version too IMHO... the new graphics look so much better

I only played the Wii for 20 minutes but I HATE the Wiimote with a passion.

I'm not anti-Nintendo, it's just that I do my gaming on the PC.

You can't play adventure games with a mouse?

Just be happy about the game. Don't bash the high technology toys, just because you can't afford the Playstation 3, or the Xbox 360 elite, or the Nintendo Wii.
Content should be king. In the past we could not afford to buy all three, so we fanboy one of them and defend it to death. Today we can afford to buy every single console which effectively means we should focus on content, not on fanboyism.

Ok, I agree, there should be a PC version too. But of all the consoles, the Nintendo platforms are definitely the best bet for this kind of game to have a decent control scheme.
