From what I understand, this game's localization was tied to the performance of Sin and Punishment 2.  Since S & P 2 bombed (and I hate all of you who didn't buy it, by the way), we don't get to have Zangeki.

Apparently so.  I can't remember off the top of my head where I heard this, but I remember that the source is generally credible.

@noname  if that is true that is some messed up stuff. its not like S&P2 is a known franchise, I guess Ninty is not as squeaky clean as some of us would like to believe

I don't remember anything like this, and I usually do. So while I believe you believe this, and while it is always possible I missed it, either provide a source or I call this nonsense . This is exactly how false facts are born - next thing you know Oniyide will quote this as fact in some other thread...

I Googled this but have only found threads where people hope for localization of both or threads mention localization of S&P2 with hopes of localization of Zangeki as well, but no thread/site mentioning any localization connection between these 2 games. So - source?

Well, I don't think Capcom should've stopped working on RE5 either... the game was a HUGE hit for them.  I do think though that whatever resources got poured into DSC would've been better served going to a full RE game for Wii.  Even if it was just a conversion of RE5, it still probably would've done better than what DSC did.

As for SF4, that one's really excuseless.  Capcom has a long history of downporting their fighters, even when it negatively impacted gameplay (like all the Marvel/Vs fighters on PS1), and gameplay wise SF4 could've been done 100% as is on Wii.  The game looks fantastic on 3DS, and even with fewer shader functions, I'm sure it could've looked just as good as Wii... money left on the table imo.

But really, I'm more a proponent of Capcom porting all their fighters to as many systems as possible.  Stuff like DarkStalkers Chronicle and SFA3 should've been on DS, SF4/SSF4 should've been on Wii/PSP, TVC/UAS should've been on PSP/HD, MVC3 should be also headed to 3DS/PSP/Wii, etc, etc.

I also think a "two pack" of REUC and REDSC for PS3/move would be a good release.  The games already look better than Namco's PS3 gun games, and it's not like Move is really getting anything else notable in the genre.  Also, I find it kinda funny that DS got the only Point Blank this gen.  If any game seemed like a natural fit for Wii, especially form a 3rd party perspective, you'd think it was a cartoony railgunner loaded with minigames like Point Blank. :/

@bmmb1  just because i believe it, doesnt mean I will go and quote something. I would like to see a source but Ninty is still a company and they still do their grimey things on the side, maybe not as bad as Sony or MS but grimey nonetheless

@jarrod DSC wasnt such a great hit anyway so a RE5 would have surpassed it. I say about 1mil at least. Fighting games should be shared by all but we know the reality of that situation. IMHO just because something could be done doesnt mean it should. the Vs. series on PS1 was atrocious, i think it should have never existed and to me those edtions are blatant cash-ins for desperate people who did not have a console that had the better version. Why put resoures into a version of a game that you know is going to suck??? As for Point Blank that truly baffles me that its not been released that could have been big on Wii. I would have bought it day 1, personally. After Tekken 6 I think someone at Namco has lost their marbles

 Other than Capcom (MH3, TsavsCap, Okami) and Marvelous (NMH1&2, muramasa), I dont really care much about third parties anymore on the wii... If I were to think about games I would want for the wii this year I would add,  a new star fox, F-Zero, Baten Kaidos, Pikmin 3, xenoblade, the last story, Zelda SS, maybe a new Yoshi's Island ;), Custom Robo, Fire emblem,  Advance wars Wii, a new DK, Zangeki, Fatal Frame, a pokemon Stadium, earth seeker... See, almost only Ninty games...      

I used to agree, but between Earth Seeker and Machinist of the Sky, Kadowkawa Shoten suddenly has my attention!  Both games look amazing, hopefully there's more where they came from.

Yep, I should add Kadokawa there, it seems that could be another marvelous or maybe better...
