Saying that Umbrella Chronicles is sufficient compensation for RE5 is just outright ignorance and little more than insulting patronization of the Wii audience.
I particularaly don't care too much about this game but I do agree it makes sense to see it on the Wii. There is no reason almost every game of the series is on the GC/Wii yet the next one isn't. Fans don't like being torn between gaming platforms. On principle alone I support this petition.
More realistically I would like to see a Petition advocating the porting of the Outbreak games and Gun Survivor games on the Wii.
The Outbreak games released as the "Outbreak Files" perhaps featuring a third never before seen file compiled from the unfinished levels not used in the first two but clearly evident on the game disc for those who knew how to sort through the data. The game could be sold as one of the early third party games with online capabilities which is far more accessable on the Wii than was on the PS2 which could promise Capcom far more success for only a fraction of the investment.
The Resident Evil: Gun Survivor games could be released as the "Survivor Chronicles" and the first one (a PS game) could be remade in much the same way that levels in Umbrella Chronicles were, chopped together from various games. The second Gun Survivor could stand a make over too and could be hyped as a game never before released in North America. The third title could be left untouched. The "Survivor Chronicles" would be sold at least as a bargain priced title or at full price with a free Wii Zapper. Similaraly the "Outbreak Files" could include a classic controller if Capcom doesn't feel like converting the entire PS2 control scheme onto the Wii-mote and Nun-chuck.
Whether they were popular or not, both series, for what little investment they would require, are smart and common sense moves for the early Wii library, a collection of games that would boast the Wii's online and a second collection that would further support the Wii Zapper. Even if neither title sold substantially they would both turn a major profit for Capcom.
Obviously more viable long term projects for the Wii could include remakes of RE2, RE3: Nemesis and RE: CVX (third try is the charm). Capcom would be more than welcome to wait on putting RE5 on the Wii until more about the Wii's hardware and how to utilize it is known. They of course would announced ASAP to make the fans happy.
