I agree with the 3rd party make no effort aspect... heck even the square outings were disappointing on Wii, when they should have had an easy time.

Capcom though I can't agree. Yes they put the Wii on the second plane... but they still released a lot more of quality titles than others.
And no RE:UC was not a test title. It came out early in the Wii's life when there weren't many rail shooters, a genre that just felt natural for the wii remote. You can't call that putting out crap on the console when they carter to a yet unchartered aspect of the console's controls. The game itself was incredibly long for a rails shooter, with some re-playability and a local 2 player mode. I'm a rail shooter fan and I liked RE:UC. The real test game for RE if there was any was RE4... which incidentally sold well.

Test games in the rail shooter genre are stuff like Dead Space... that you don't even understand why it's on Wii in the first place.


Whats not to understand, both RE rail shooters sold well, hell HOD 2&3 sold millions and that was just a dirty port. Not to mention the wiimote makes games like this much easier to make than before now that the devs dont have to worry if the customer has a guncon or whatever the hell else

Sorry i I have so much hate for that title that I forget to express my reasons. Dead Space came on the HD consoles... there is no reason to think that a spinoff would carter to the Wii audience.

If anything an original IP would probably have had more sucess on the Wii than that game...It also came out at a time where devs were saying left and right how games on Wii didn't sell (THQ's deadly creatures comes to mind), so the release of this spinoff in a different genre to an audience that didn't particularly carter to space horror shooters really felt to me as a game that fits this thread subject... a shitty game that the devs thought people were obligated to buy ("hey look it has the same name as the big boy's games, so surely you'll buy it!")...

This may be a personal view... But I've seen nothing to deviate me from it.

Why not??? the RE rail shooters seemed to do alright sales wise and review wise, hell Extraction has higher review average than the RE ones. Your entitled to your opinion but why hold DS in contempt and not RE?? Whats the difference?? Its not like Capcom put an original RE game on Wii either and no im not counting the quick and dirty port of RE4. I for one enjoyed Extraction, but then again im a multi console owner
