Are Nintendo gamers enlightened?

RE is a bad example, it is an established IP and they did make a RE for the HDs, with two more coming. And RE5 was quite profitable, highest selling in the series, without the help of the market leading console. So maybe Capcom, figured; "hell we dont need RE on Wii, it does fine without it" I dont agree with that train of thought, but i do understand it. I dont think its risky at all, a lot of these engines that run these PS360 games were being created even before Wii was announced. What would have been risky is to throw all that RnD and work away and start from scratch running the games on WIi. IMHO I think (some) of them made the right call. Like Ubi, make Just Dance for WIi, type of game that appeals to the Wii audience and make AC type of game that appeals to HD twins/PC. They give something for everyone. Only people really complaining are the fanboys who dont wanna buy a non Ninty machine, tightwads who dont wanna buy a non Ninty machine and people who cant afford another (I feel for you guys). But they are the minority of Wii owners

That's not how I meant it. I said "bring an established IP to all platforms". In the case of Resident Evil, RE5 would have remained the 360/PS3 game that it is (which sold millions) and the Wii would have gotten its own full fledged RE title that would have sold two million copies minimum (because the RE4 Wii port was already very successful). Capcom should have figured: "Hey, we are successful on the 360 and PS3, why shouldn't we also try to be successful on the Wii?"

Of course something has to give, so some other Capcom game would not have been made. Capcom had a good range of HD flops (like Bionic Commando and Dark Void) and these developers might have been able to make a good game on a machine that is less demanding. You know, like Free Radical used to be top notch with the Timesplitters series last generation and then wasn't able to handle the new development environment of this generation with the mediocre Haze.

ok that makes sense, i guess they figured that people like that light gun game, so why not give them another?  Again I dont agree with this train of thought but I understand it. I think its just laziness on their part, not so much as anything against Ninty, its just cheaper to make one or two light gun games, than to make another full fledged RE game and its not like every thing is a bed of roses on the HD side when it comes to Capcom either.
