That RE fanbase on the Wii gradually stopped caring and each new RE game on the Wii has sold fewer copies than the one before--RE4 to UC to DC. 

Not really, this just shows that we stopped caring for on-rails games :|


2 out of 5 Wii RE games have been rail shooters.  In fact the rails shooters outsold 2 of the actual RE games.


If you mean the GC ports, that didn't offer anything new (while RE4 at least combined the best of the GC and PS2 versions), that's understandable.

Also, I'd say it's less tired of rail shooters than the genre not having as much appeal as developers thought it would. Rail shooters don't have as much replay value as FPS and TPS unless something new is done to freshen it up.*

* In case anyone bringd up Dead Space Extraction, slowing down the game just to show off the graphics (aka, the "guided first person experience") was clearly shown to not be the right way to freshen it up.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
