I too think that RE4:Wii is by far the superior edition just because of the controls and can never go back to playing the game on a normal analog controller but I don't see RE5 coming to the Wii ever.

It's easy to port something from a less powerful system (GC/PS2) to a more powerful system (Wii) but porting something from a more powerful system(360/PS3) to a less powerful system (Wii) is just like making an entirely new game. At that point, it's more worthwhile to just make a new game so that you won't have to deal with an inferior version (because the two version would be more different than you think in more ways than just graphics).

That being said, I could see an RE series coming exclusively to the Wii. I wouldn't hold my breath yet on it being the main series nor do I think it will be a rail shooter like RE:UC, but the Wii is being good to Capcom and Capcom will be good to the Wii.


Sorry, but if Capcom is willing to do the work to remake RE4 for MOBILE PHONES, then reworking RE5 for the Wii will not be an issue for them.

Note I am NOT claiming RE5 will come to the Wii. I am just calling on your bullshit claim that downgrading will prevent it, despite how gaming history has NEVER proven that claim.


I'm willing to bet that RE4: Mobile edition will be nothing like the other RE4 games.  About the only things it's more than likely going to share are the name, the fact there are zombies, and there might be guns.  Other than that, it's going to be your typical mobile game crap fest.

And RE5 will never see a Wii version exactly why because I said.  I know you love to troll my comments but it just aint going to happen.  They would have to seriously decrease the graphics (remake textures and models), they would have to port the game to the Wii (requiring extensive testing and programming), and levels would have to be redesigned because the Wii simply can't have as much on screen as the PS3 and 360 (requiring a rework in the game and level design).  That would mean the Wii version would have to have the budget of a completely new game for a game that would already be two years old by the time it came out, different gameplay that probably won't be as good, and far inferior graphics.  There's just no good reason to assume that Capcom would waste the money on porting RE5 to the Wii.  It would make much more sense just to make a new game rather than waste an entire team and a AAA game budget on a port.
