| johnlucas said: Here's a thought. Capcom released Resident Evil 4 (a 3 year old game) on the Wii as a test. 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. |
Half the test.

"When questioned why Resident Evil 5 was not currently in development for Wii, Kawata revealed that RE:UC and RE4: Wii Edition will be tests to gauge how well the series can perform on Wii.
In addition, Kawata and his team working on Umbrella Chronicles are still looking into how they can exploit the Wii remote functionalities and/or Nunchuck for the title."
So Umbrella Chronicles would be the other half. Considering RE5 is set for "sometime" 2009, seems like plenty of time to make up thier mind.
