I remember all those "Resident Evil 5 for Wii petition" threads, we had at least four of them and everytime it was a very popular topic.
Eventually the game was released only on the HD consoles and shortly afterwards the demand for a Wii port died down. That was fun.

There are STILL some people that want a Wii port, and I'm one of them. Even though I own a Ps3 and the Gold Edition.

Me too.
Also, this can work if done one of two ways.
If there is no extra content, it should cost just $30, or whatever RE4 Wii Edition cost in other countries. Now while I still maintain Okami and Dead Rising were not easy to put on the Wii, I agree $40 was too much for them to catch on, with no extra content for Okami and essentially a net loss of content (some added, but more taken away) for Dead Rising. If we have to wait, full price is too much for nothing new.
If they want to charge full price, add something to make the wait worth our money. Sure adding the extra content to RE4 on the PS2 was because Sony asked, but that was a good idea. Heck, it would have been a better idea to put the gold RE5 content on a Wii version, since it would be something to entice new buyers, not milk the HD buyers to buy the game twice. Anyway, something like my "Light is your enemy" mode suggestion would be a good addition.

For $30 I don't think its even financially worth while porting over. Wii owners would spend $50 for RE5, because even a stripped down version is better than most of the Wii's library and its a very popular franchise. Games like Dead Rising and Okami don't have the mass appeal or popularity of Resident Evil. Capcom tested the water with those games. Sales were modest for Okami and abysmal for Dead Rising.
I think they can easily get away with a $50 for RE5 on the Wii. But for them to bring it to the Wii they would have to redo all the visuals. I mean lower quality 3D models, create new textures, maybe redo the animation (those physics take processing power), and they would have to figure out a way to get split screen in there. They would have to invest a lot of time and money into it. And at best all they expect is about a million sales.
It doesn't seem financially worth while. They could always milk RE5 and other Capcom HD games as launch titles for the next Nintendo console. It would be cheaper to do and likely get better sales.
