RE:UC (Wii) - Capcom say the game is a test, maybe more RE to follow...

I feel that RE4 for Wii was kind of a no-win situation for the Wii in some ways.

A success means Capcom and others might just port their old series to the Wii instead of actually taking the effort and creating compelling new content.

A failure might have caused Capcom and others to take a step back and assume that Wii fans might not be interested in hardcore games so they instead completely focus on casual games.

The real test though will be Umbrella Chronicles and hopefully it's a success so that Capcom and others realize that there are fans of hardcore games on all the consoles.

Honestly, I would LOVE to see RE: 1, 2, and 3 updated to Wii graphics with RE4 controls and a $30 price tag. I would buy them up so fast. Hopefully though the success of RE4 and (eventual we can hope) success of RE:UC gives the Wii many of it's own unique hardcore capcom titles, and perhaps the opportunity for it's own unique version of RE5 (which as I mentioned above would probably mean I had to buy the game twice, once for PS3 or 360 and then again for Wii).

When Capcom last did the re-releases on the GC (with the exception of RE1), they didn't update the graphics or price them cheap.  Maybe Capcom will learn from that mistake and this time and give the fans what they really want. :)
