Question: Why is it so easy for some games to be ported to ever platform under the sun? Yet, for other, more high-profile titles, we just get excuses like "it is too hard to down-port," "the control scheme is too unique," "it is too expensive," etc. etc...

I think in this case the game was designed to be possible on less powerful systems from the beginning. The original game was on PS2/GameCube/Xbox, and the mechanics haven't changed too much since then. Games that make extensive use of technology that's only on the high end consoles are a lot harder to adapt to systems that don't have those abilities.
