"The game is running in 480p and 16:9 widescreen at a fluidity of 30 frames per second." What is it about the Wii and running only at 30fps? (note: this comment is directed at shams, heh).

Anyway, I look forward to the story elements of this game. I guess I'm a freak because I like the story of resident evil? Also, returning to the mansion will be a lot of fun because that and 2 are where the story was at it's best imo. Will be refreshing to finish the game in 1 day (they said 15 to 20 hours right ;)

This game looks nice but I still don't think RE5 will be on the Wii. It would most likely have to be completely redone.

 Well nobody knows how far RE5 actually is...I don't think it's impossible to have a Wii version, and a good version wouldn't be hard.  I mean...they announced this game waaay before E3 last year when the Wii got very popular.  Capcom has no problems with Nintendo, they made RE4, the Wii remake and UC, along with a Zelda game even...  It's just a matter of them wanting to make a Wii version of RE5.

Personally, I'm guessing they won't, just because of the work they'd have to do to be able to run it on the Wii...but I don't think it's impossible.  I mean...the game was announced and had a teaser trailer before the 360 even launched...after seeing the success of the Wii, maybe they'll consider making a port to it.  But whatever.

Also, quite a few PS3 games only run at 30 fps as well...it's basically the standard for consoles, like it or not.  I guess they choose better effects and overall graphics instead of 60 fps, and I can understand that.  Particles and AA and all that stuff generally comes first, as long it never gets below 30.
