I think Capcom's been pretty good honestly. In fact I'd say they've really only made two glaring mistakes with Wii (which is better than most 3rd parties)...
- 1. Not following up RE4 with an original (full) Resident Evil for Wii, probably should've been able to have one ready as early late 2008. There's an easy 2-3m seller they missed out on, instead they did a sequel to Umbrella Chronicles that went on to sell only 600k due to the oversaturated (and increasingly hostile) rail shooter genre on Wii.
- 2. Not releasing SF4 on Wii. The whole campaign around SF4 was rooted in nostalgia, the game was even designed specifically to appeal to SF2 fans... and yet they didn't port the game to the system that also has the strongest retro gamer audience, that itself revels in nostalgia. A Wii version of SF4 would've easily cleared a million worldwide and probably then some, instead they did a Versus fighter based on Tatsunoko licenses that sold less than half that.
...all in all though, I do think the good far outweighed the bad with Capcom on Wii. If anything, I'd say the system Capcom *really* missed the boat on this gen was DS...
