NO! The problem has always been the lack of effort put into the games that third parties release for the Wii. Capcom could have easily invested more resources in the development of Dead Rising: Chop til you drop, like develop an engine that is made from the ground up like they are doing with Monster Hunter 3. Instead they decided to use an engine developed for the Gamecube. That did not cost them anything. Capcom ported this game for a quick money grab. Dead Rising 2 is not even announced for the Wii .
Secondly, Capcom's support of the Wii has not been good.
Zack and the Wiki, no advertising
Okami, a port with no advertising.
Resident Evil 4: Wii edition, a port
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, a light gun game
Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Japan only
Dead Rising, a port
Neopets Adventure, a puzzle game
Spyborgs or Spybots, I do not care for the name, a game aimed at kids
Monster Hunter 3, is the only game capcom is making besides Zack and the Wiki and Resident Evil:UC that shows effort. Now compare their support for the Wii to the HD platforms or their recent announcements of support, Dead Rising 2 and Lost Planets 2. It's clear that the Wii is an after thought in their development plans or just a revenue stream.
If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
