The sales of the Wii Edition of RE4 were the proving grounds that determined Capcom's relation with Nintendo on the Wii project. The sales are a success and Nintendo passed the test. Resident Evil 5 will be made with Wii in mind FIRST. And it's looking like it probably will be a Wii exclusive. Series creator Shinji Mikami always wanted to make the Resident Evil series for Nintendo originally and in the Gamecube era, Nintendo's console lowest, Mikami went against the grain and went to bat for Nintendo wanting to make his games there instead of everywhere else. Rereleases of the Resident Evils, the Capcom 5, and the original exclusivity of RE4 point to a strong Nintendo-Capcom relationship. Market realities forced them to work with the PlayStation platform in both 5th and 6th generation but in the 7th Nintendo's reigning supreme. They haven't brought Resident Evil to the XBoxes even though they could. But with XBox 360 holding to the old NES-derived controller standard and Nintendo moving forward with this new Wii standard, a crazy creative director like Mikami and the RE team is most likely gonna work with the new style. Mark my words: Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition was the test that ensured the exclusivity of Resident Evil 5 to the Wii platform. And Nintendo passed the test. Yes, another landmark John Lucas prediction. Mark it down in your record books. Put it in your favorites/bookmarks. It's gonna happen. John Lucas |
Pardon me if I missed something since I skimmed most of the above posts, but RE5 is already being made for 360/PS3, do you mean RE6?
