I'd bet design and story writing are done, yes, but without seeing anything visually (which in modern games is the longest part of most game productions), I'd bet we have a chance that it could go to Wii U, IF (and it's still a big if) Nintendo got to the team early enough to offer them the chance to switch platforms.
And the structural differences between a DVD and high-density disc isn't the same as cart to CD was.
It's not like porting a game from SD to HD takes no effort... And it's not like making a Dragon Quest mainline game takes no effort... Given the fact that other big name developers just got their kit not too long ago, I would say it's impossible to port the game over to Wii U.
It will still be on the Wii. DQ does not need to depend on anything. It will sell no matter which platform it is on.
Though I still stand by the fact that if it is a Wii game and it is inside the launch window of Wii U, then it would be a really good positive factor to drive Wii U sales in Japan.
