Eh, I don't really care about an RE5 Wii. I'm more of an RPG guy myself. It's just that when I see the same half-assed bullshit arguments like the "but all u wiii ownerz always want...!" with stupid 12-year old caliber generalizations made by angry fanboys when I can count maybe 2 people on this board at the most that actually champions for RE5 Wii on any kind of regular basis (and further making the fact that about 5-6 people in this thread keep repeating this EXACT.SAME.ARGUMENT that much more astonishing by how ineffective and sloppy it is) and such other beautiful arguments grasping at straws like "BUT NITNEDO PISSSD ON DEVELOPARS SOMTIME AGO" which is rendered even further irrelevant by the existence of Resident Evil 4, I get the overwhelming urge to tell these peole how stupid I think they are and thus start arguing because, since they're not capable of making an actual point, I want to shut them down before they think that they had one. It's a bad habbit.

RE4? You mean the game that came to the GC first because Nintendo paid off Capcom?

You're in denial if you think that Nintendo's current third party relationships weren't caused by the company's actions from 1985-2000. They have improved recently but given the GC's marketshare at that point, it was too little, too late.

After all, most franchises that are more than 10 years old started out on Nintendo consoles. The N64 was the straw that broke the camel's back with its expensive proprietary cartridges and late release. Sony countered with an easy-to-program system based on inexpensive CDs and they showed a willingness to help offset developer costs, something Nintendo never did. It's not surprising that when finally given the chance, developers ran from Nintendo as quickly as possible.

Don't get me wrong, Nintendo is an entirely different company now. But you can't blame developers for dropping support for Nintendo systems from 1995-2006. And you need to give them more than 16 months to come back to Nintendo consoles.

You mean the same Capcom they "paid off" as part of the Triforce? The same Capcom they "paid off" to make several Zelda games?

There's no doubt that there's probably some third parties out there still miffed about 13 years ago, but using Capcom as an example is like saying Wii owners don't buy games and then using Smash Bros Brawl sales as an example - it's a direct contradiction of reality. Capcom is one of the few developers closest to Nintendo. Rights to main RE games for the Gamecube, frequent use of the Zelda license; these are not things companies that hate each other would come to agreements on. Saying anything about "pissing on" is simply denial. It's grasping at irrelevance, because it has nothing to do with why RE5 isn't on the Wii.
