I just want to make it clear that there are reasons not to port a game. I just don't find the reasons given here against the Wii legitimate, at least not in the blanket terms being used.

except it won't be a port, aleast in the conventioal way. No one has answered my question here. Why won't capcom port DMC4 or Lost planet to the Wii when they are all too eager to port RE4, RE0, and Okami instead?

Let me tell you RE4, Okami and RE0 those games were based on last generation of graphics and those games could be easiely ported and could save time and money. The games that are mentioned DMC 4 and Lost Planet are not easiely ported and it would need extreme reworking in physics and etc. To be honest Wii is no a Ps3 so it cannot produce those games. Of course they could do it, nothing stops them but you may call Capcom kinda lazy for not wanting to rework everything. Maybe if wii was more to the level of Ps3 and Xbox then you would see it for sure. Let me tell you don't want Lost planet. There's my answer.

Exactly,and that's my point-so I don't why LordTheNightKnight keeps pushing this. Capcom simply can't just port the game. They have to rework the game. Whether or not they decide it's worth it or not-it's up to them, not to us.

I didn't claim they could "just port" it. I know things would have to be redone. My dispute is the assumption that the work would always be too much to be worth it. For some small developers, it would be, but Capcom is not a small developer.

 But as I said, that's not for us to decide, it's Capcom's decision and they apparently don't think it's worth it.
