Was there ever an official statement as to why Project H.A.M.M.E.R was canceled?

I was just browsing the internet when I stumbled across an old Project H.A.M.M.E.R screen shot. It got me wondering, did Nintendo ever release an official statement on it's cancellation? I've always wondered why it was canceled, because I remember being really excited for this game back when it was shown at E3 '06. I'm still really disappointed that it was canceled, because I still think it looks really BA.

Any info? I looked around and all I could find was speculation.

AMN: Why are games like Disaster and Project H.A.M.M.E.R. not being shown?

Beth Llewellyn: We shifted development resources. However, Disaster: Day of Crisis is still in development and coming along nicely.

AMN: So is Project H.A.M.M.E.R. canceled?

Llewellyn: Development resources have been shifted for the time being, but it may come back. But right now, it's not a focus of ours.

AMN: So it's not currently in development? Is it on pause?

Llewellyn: Uh... probably... yeah. Again, we shifted our focus. Some games have shifted development resources.
