Capcom Looking into More Resi Evil for Wii

27.10.2008

Speaking recently about the upcoming Resident Evil 5, Capcom confirmed how it is keen to bring the series back to Wii. Juntake Uchi, Producer of Resident Evil 5, went on record, in an interview squarely based on the impending PS3/Xbox 360 release of RE5, to say the following:

"We really like the Wii. We think it's a wonderful piece of hardware. We are definitely thinking about ways we can bring the Resident Evil series to the Wii, but it could be a couple of years down the road just yet."

Below is the full video interview:

So could he be talking about a re-worked version of Resident Evil 5 in a couple of years, with a continuous line of remakes/ports in-between (Resident Evil 0 on Wii sold 50,000+ units in Japan and Resident Evil Remake hits Japan this December, with many believing a RE2 remake could be on the cards for 2010)?

Cool, the game's looking very nice, if a bit shiney.

They'll probably bring this to the Wii in a couple of years(it'll take that to actually get in right on the Wii) but it's probably more likely they'll bring a sub-series to it instead.

I thought RE4 was pretty...but comparing the screenshots of RE4 to that video...wow. Smilie

Everyone's currently just talking about the other producer's comment of how the Wii and PS2 couldn't even handle RE5's title screen, saying Capcom's slating the Wii. I don't feel that's true, though, since Wii obviously is weaker than PS3 and 360, so the game would need to be optimised for Nintendo's platform, simple as that. They're not saying it CAN'T be done at all...

I feel a game so obviously advanced as Resident Evil5 would probably have to be redesigned with the Wii in mind.

However, always nice to hear some positive love for the Wii! Smilie

capcom..
first they will release "Re5 - Wii edition "
and then they will release " Re5 Wii2 edition " which is the same as the 360/ps3 game with different controls

bullshit.

They should do a ground up, dedicated, new entry in the series for the Wii.

The Wii sales justify it, and we saw the superb job they could do on the gamecube.
The Wii has almost twist the ram, twice the gpu and twice the cpu power. It also has a fantastic interface.

We should be getting a NEW RE game that isnt just a onrails shotter.
