I have a feeling that even if there were no such limit/limitations that Capcom would not be doing this on the Wii.

First, it does not really care for the Wii and seems to have titles on the PS3/Xbox 360 that sell. In other words, they appear one of the few developers that consistently can make money off of going for the HD consoles. Street Fighter and Resident Evil sequels let you do that.

Second, if it can figure a way to release TvC (or some variant thereof) in other markets, it does not want to do something that cannibalizes potential future sales.

despite Capcom shortchanging the Wii multiple times, they still have supported the system fairly well. In fact, I just checked their press site and Resident Evil 3 is listed as a Wii game. No information provided, but it looks like they are remaking their entire back catalog of Resident Evil games.

So it looks like capcom has given us

2 new RE light gun shooters
Spyborgs - which looks like a very good effort put in even if I'm not interested
Entire remake of Resident Evil series (4 out, 1 out soon, 0 out in japan and coming to US, and 3 is listed on their press site)
Zack & Wiki
Monster Hunter 3

plus more, so they actually haven't been too shabby in the Wii support department.

 

You can say what you want about the MVC 2 situation but I will not let you get away with stating that capcom has support the Wii well. Instead actually producing games they are outsourcing game development and all we get are light gun games and action adventure game like Spyborgs. Their best effort is MH3. Now Compare their support for the Wii with the HD systems and it's the difference between night and day and the Wii looks like a 3rd place system rather than the market leader. Capcom's problem is that they decided to focus on the HD systems and are not willing to change their philosphy regardless of their financial statement, which has shown that their revenue is down.
