| HappySqurriel said: I can't help but notice that games like Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter 4 and Bionic Commando were (probably) green-lit before (or soon after) the Wii was released; and certainly long before most publishers accepted the Wii as being a viable platform due to its large userbase. Beyond those games Capcom doesn't have much on the horizon for HD consoles and it was inevitable that there was going to be a big game annoucment or two for the HD consoles.

One of the mods (probs Sven) said a while ago Capcom have 7 HD projects in developement. At the time that was RE5, SFIV, Bionic Commando and Dark Void. We can add Dead Rising 2 to that, and probably Lost Planet 2. An educated guess would put another Devil MAy Cry as the 7th too... but anyway.
7 HD projects for a company the size of Capcom is pretty significient, and I can't see the RE5 team going onto a Wii project. Capcom seem happy to ignore the Wii for the most part and focus more on HD developement - even the teams who could be working on Wii games seem to be alloted to make PSN / XBLA games like Flock / Age of Booty / Street Fighter HD / Bionic Commando Rearmed 0_o.
Capcom will try out the Wii but I think at the moment they're resiliant, partly due to the disaster they had supporting the GameCube and partly due to the pitiful sales their games have seen in Japan. They were one of the only companies to have a profitable 3 quarter year thus far, and that was without any major releases or HD releases (which no doubt take up alot of R&D).
