hi guys, since Resident Evil 4 Wii was a port and has sold  more than 2 mil copies; Why Capcom has never made Resident Evil 5 on Wii?

Capcom has a good relationship with Nintendo so cannot be that.

 

What do you think?

Royalty? Exclusivity to the HD twins? Will be a surprise Wii-U game?

I think none of what you say is correct from top to bottom. You are assuming a lot. Resident Evil 4's success has nothing to do with nor did it bring any kind of relationship. RE4 Wii edition was an effortlesss port will no real alterations. Just GC graphics with PS2 extras and pointer functionality.

RE5 would have to be rebuilt which would take a lot of effort. Making a game that looks like even as good as RE4 on that hardware from scratch would still be an expensive task even today. Darkside Chronicles is what they gave us instead and you saw how that turned out.

Not to mention that RE4 retailed for 30 bucks at launch, thats pratically bargain basement prices, so of course it would have done well
