I see your point and RE5 and DMC4 arent bad games they are just not the  best in the series but they sold  well, so people must like it.    Could they have made a DMC4 without all the graphics for Wii?? Maybe, but why spend the money on getting another deve team to do it when they would not buy that much anyway?? RE5, is more than just HD visuals.  Would the ally AI be able to work as well on inferiour tech?? Will the local MP be as smooth?? Would they be able to even get online in their considering how poor the Wii online is??  These are thing s to think about, when someone says a game would not work on Wii, they are not saying it just to troll, their are some things it just cant handle

oniyide, as far as I can tell the Wii's online is horrible on a per-game basis. For example, Super Smash Brawl's online was abysmal :((((, but as far as I can tell COD: BO on Wii is working fine from what I can tell from my roomie's COD:BO playing.

Granted most people are not trolling, but to ask would the AI be as good? How important is the question? Is the gain that much more significant in light of other features of a game? Advanced AI and massive numbers of NPCs is obviously not as doable on the Wii, but whatever is saved in graphical detail and advanced AI can be infused in better storyline, story development, better characters, better controls and so on and so forth. As a blind man has more acute hearing, the same can be said for the gimped Wii. The less fundamental things (graphics) are reduced, while the more important can be focused on style, story, characters, controls. In line with you, AI and NPC count is more on the important side, but two of many ;)

With that said, the Wii was underused by 3rd parties, with reason for some as you say, without for others as I say.
