I asked on Capcom-Unity, and Sven said it was planned that far. So the game was in at least some form of development since nov 2007.

Yep, this game was planned before Overkill was even announced (which was in aug 2008), and when all the Wii had in terms of rail shooters was Ghost Squad, HotD 2 & 3, and UC1 (unless there's another I forgot).

This only came out in a saturated market because of timing, not because of some deliberate diss to Wii owners.

Also, given how far back UC1 came out, that's well over a year to work on it, and it's still only 35% complete. That says they are making an effort with this.

planning =/= development.

Planning = planning.  I'm sure that Kojima was planning MGS5 when MGS4 came out, but that's not called development. 

The fact of the matter is that Capcom treats Wii owners like second-rate citizens.  The same way the PS3 and 360 have tons of First Person shooters, The Wii does, and will have tons of On-Rails shooters.  They always sell so well, I don't see any reason why Capcom would give Wii owners anything different (Save for MH3).  I expect Capcom's efforts on the Wii to consist of ports/remakes/and on-rails shooters.

I'm sure DC will be okay, like RE:UC was, but let's call a spade a spade...  Didn't Capcom talk about how much 'effort' they were putting into DR: CtyD?  And yes, that turned out playable, but Capcom promising effort, should mean little - nothing to Wii owners (again, MH3 aside).

You keep putting MH3 as the exception but wouldn't its existence prove your point as incorrect? The fact that it seems like to be a first-rate effort from Capcom proves that they are in fact willing to put a great amount of effort into making a wii game shine.

I don't think it's time to give up on Capcom yet. As of right now they only have Lost Planet 2, Monster Hunter 3, Dead Rising 2 and Darkside Chronicles under development so thats 2 wii games and 2 PS360 games that we know of.  There's still plenty of time in the generation for them to get their act together.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
