Just to remind everyone...there have been NO plans WHATSOEVER to change RE5 to accommodate for the Wii. I honestly don't think with the direction that the series is going that they would not push the envelope with every thing the more powerful systems could do. Otherwise it would be a huge letdown to the fans. I mean, following up RE4 is a big responsibility, one Capcom and the devs might not be willing to sacrifice the quality of their game for.

Since the only announcement of what platforms it would be on included a willingness to put it on all three, I have a hard time imaging how it would need be changed especially since we have no idea what the graphics of the game are going to be. Perhaps you can provide me some screen shots of in-game graphics to show this something the Wii couldn't handle. Again, you make the assumption that this is being done as a PS3 or 360 game primaraly, we have no confirmed information since a vague statement over a year ago about the game's standing on a console so please stop acting like its set in stone that we know for sure what the game is comming out on. Thanks.

Sorry Gballzack, but I beleive akuma587 has a point. If, for one it has a prerendered video then it's probobly for the 360/PS3. But also, it was announced at E3 2005, when there was almost no info on the Wii(it was still the revolution) and developers were not willing to jump on the band wagon. Also, this kind of game is one that needs big flashy fgraphics that the Wii can't do. It is(will be) a built for HD game.

Also, I won't be buying a PS3 ever(big suprise huh?). I don't think 499 is the magic number to most consumers. It will help more hardcore gamers make the leap, but like most people said they won't want it without more games. It's evident as the 360 is slowing down quite a bit even with it's 399 price tag.


Umbrella Chronicles has pre-rendered video so i fail to see your logic of how a game having pre-rendered video alienates it from the Wii.

Resident Evil doesn't need big flashy graphics because that's not what is selling now and that has never been what has sold Resident Evil games, and even then the Wii is more than capable of doing big flashy graphics. I fail to see how dated information from a two year old E3 remains pertinant when the console race has shaped up much differently than anticipated while Capcom had all along stated a willingness to make a wii version. If things are so sure fire for a PS3/360 debut of this game, why has no info been released since 2005 on it? Why is the game in developer hell. If Capcom's game's need flashy graphics why did they announce putting forth almost all their effort into the DS and Wii. If RE5 will be a PS3 slam dunk, why has nothing been said to hype it as such for a console desperate for killer games?

You'd kill the RE franchise in Japan if you put RE5 only on the PS3/360 which would almost certainly ensure a port to the Wii if they had any hope of recouping the franchise there. Does this garantee RE5 on the Wii? No, there is no garantee, but there is really no evidence to suggest it won't be either. There's also no reason to think their original plans for the game's release set long before the PS3's flop and the Wii's triumphant success will stay the same especially in lieu of this suspicious information blackout on the game.
