THere is nothing to explain, because they were not test games, dont know where people get that from. Show me where Capcom said those were test games. All I saw was a budget game and on rail game that as you said did well and the followed it up with...another on rail game. Of course! it makes sense. If I make a dance game and it does well im not going to follow it up with a fighting game it makes no sense

Here you go.

Bonus link!

You're right about No More Heroes though. It was crap on a disc.


You gave me a link to the Capcom forum page, which is just a bunch of fans talking back and forth. How about a link to an ACTUAL Capcom representitive, fairly high up saying those were test games, or am I missing something?

How about this one?

"When asked, Kawata then explained that the decision was made a long time ago to bring Resident Evil 5 to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms. As a result, Capcom is still contemplating whether or not they can or will port the game to Wii. He noted that sales of Resident Evil 4 and Umbrella Chronicles will ultimately determine the decision."

I recall it having been said more than once, but it's not easy to find a quote when you don't remember the wording of it. The point is, Capcom pretty explicitly said that the sales of RE4 and RE:UC were going to be how they would decide whether or not the Wii should get a version of RE5. Both games sold quite well, and what did we get? About 8 months after RE5 was released on PS3 and 360, the Wii got RE:DC. And Capcom then declared that, because it didn't sell a million copies in its first week, "gamers have deserted the Wii". Of course, it went on to nearly break a million copies, despite not being what gamers really wanted (they wanted another game like RE4).
