Industry News | Capcom Reveals Nintendo Plans [news]

sounds like i'll be getting a 360 this year and not a ps3 or wii then

when you can wayit, you can get a wii.
Companies are developing for x360 because they got devkits for it. PS3 has them too, but maybe Wii-kits are not on the way - dolphin.kits don't do it because of the new controller and the essential differences to Cube-hardware.
We are in the unfortunate time when fiscal decisions have to be made and no devkits are given away or releasedates are announced (My, I sound like Lemony Snicket!).
Hence my mistrusting to market-analysts...

Wii kits should be getting out there around about now, I imagine they've started REWii and just want to give it quite a bit of time to get it right.

Please don't tell me Resident Evil "Series" means more remakes. And it better not be some Gun Survivor spinoff. Surely RE5 is entirely possible on the Wii (even on above RE4 levels). Hey, RE4 happened for the PS2 which at least shows that when forced to, certain tricks and techniques can be implemented to make a the game work on a "weaker" console. Thinking of it in reverse, porting Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes to the PS1 is entirely possible.

Capcom make some fantastic games, but they really do seem to be a company shying away from Nintendo's innovation mantra.

C'mon Capcom do an Okami port for Wii. Make the Wii RE RE5. Create a fantastic console-based Megaman game again. Bring Devil May Cry to Wii.

PlayStation 2 - 33 Titles (3.4 million units)

PlayStation 3 - 3 Titles (150,000 units)

Goes to show how much faith Capcom have in the PS2 staying a strong force in the console market. They must have a lot of games still in development.

Resident Evil 4 (PS2, 1,810,000, Japan: 490,000, USA: 610,000, Europe: 710,000)

And what were they for the Gamecube in those regions then....

Lol it sold better in Europe then in Japan and US!

I doubt we will ever see RE5 on Wii.
The producer of the series (forgot his name) said last year we changed the controlles for GC and now we dont wanna change it again for Wii!!!

But i think we will see a spin-off series for Wii that utilizes the Wii controlls!! There were a few on the PS2!
Lets just hope its not Survier series!!!

Ironically, the Wii version of Resident Evil is more anticipated in Japan than Resident Evil 5 for PS3, by a lot, which doesn't even make the Japanese top ten list!

BEWARE, below you will find a RANT...

After seeing this (PS2 with 33 more titles), and recently seeing Sega's plans to bring out another 30 or so PS2 titles, I really do get pissed off knowing that graphics are not an issue for GC porting, hell even audio isn't (both the GC and PS2 have Pro Logic II don't they?), and the ONLY factor that is the difference between 57ish more games being released for one system is the userbase.

Yes, it makes sense to release games on popular consoles, but I am certainly not going to shell out

GameCube - 0 Titles

Ah well, thanks Capcom. You're supporting the GC was one hell of a ride

Resident Evil 4's greatness prevents me from too much ill feeling towards Capcom. They could quite happily have ignored GC completely - instead they arguably produced one of the top 3 games released for the system.

However, RE4's greatness won't persuade me to buy a Survivor game.

Ever.

It's surprising there isn't more initial Wii support from Capcom.

Don't get me wrong, an exclusive Resident Evil is fantastic but I half-expected there to be another project slipped in for us. Viewtiful Joe or something.

It wouldn't surprise me if they have more stuff planned, they're just keeping it underwraps for now. They're a big developer, afterall.
