Nope. Seriously, the hardware just wouldn't support it. It could be ported to the Wii though.

Well, since it is not released yet,

1. Be a professional funded developer.
2. Contact Nintendo's developer resources for pricing and availability.
3. Pay.
4. Wii.

The price-tag is speculation. The price of the dev unit may be $2000 but the SDK to interface with it may be much, much more. But who knows? Right now, I would assume that Wii devkits are only available to tried and true development houses. After launch, they may open up and be more available.

EDIT:
There is more information at Warioworld.com. I believe it a part of the SNSys ProDG family of products. At least that's where I was directed from.
