Following up on last month's IGN rumor Joystiq asked Nintendo's Beth Llewellyn for an update on the once Wii-bound Project H.A.M.M.E.R.

What's the status of Project H.A.M.M.E.R. or Disaster: Day of Crisis?

Disaster is still in development. Project H.A.M.M.E.R. we've sort of shifted resources off that title. But Disaster is still in development. Again, you have to remember, E3 is one small little blip in time and we tried to focus on a few key titles. Rest assured, there is a lot more going on behind the scenes at Nintendo. You know the company, and we always have stuff going on ...

Are you talking about the reasons why H.A.M.M.E.R. has been cancelled?

No.

Following up on Joystiq's exchange with Llewellyn, I asked Nintendo if it really is dead. They told me it is on indefinite hold.
