Is this really an inherent flaw in the system or more excuses to be lazy? Xbox and PS3 architecture are not to different.
Nah, this is probably one of the very rare case's where the excuse is legit.
Even with the ability to store on SDHC cards, and thus free shitloads of data, running the game still has to be done from the internal memory. So thats 512MB absolute max, with a *much* more likely limit being Nintendos 40MB-ish restriction on downloads.
Fighting games tend to take a lot of raster space for animations.
That said, it could concievably be done by having the core game in 40MB, and having that read from the SDHC card for the games resource files, which are downloaded seperately. Thats a lot more work then a mere port though.
Hmmm... this smells like more Capcom BS. How big are the N64 & Neo Geo games on VC? Surely the WiiWare titles are more.
Anyone know how big the download is on Xbox Live and PSN?
I cant believe that Capcom will not release this game on Wii. i think that the 2D graphics will work wonders with it, they could also have an online mode that will make it even more interesting. Aghhh Capcom why do you have be such mean people?
Capcom said their Live/PSN download is at least a couple hundred MB, which is already far too past the Wii's filesize limit.
This is as genuine an excuse as I have seen. The fault lies more with Nintendo's limits than with Capcom people; there's nothing we can do about it.
Surely it was obvious that SOMETIME, the Wii was going to need bigger filesizes, why were they not included? This news SUCKS. In the word of Keven....MEH
This just breaks my heart... Can there not be some sort of alternative that won't turn into "Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 Party?" Jeez...

Because Nintendo wanted a cheap,solid state based console.
This means less space, but it also means we have by far and away the quickest loading/boot times.
