i don't understand why people want re5 on the wii.
if you really wanted the game THAT badly then you wouldn't settle for a crummy downgraded port =\

how about a resident evil built specifically for the wii?

Fans of the series should buy Umbrella Chronicles because the game is ok, but it's a blast to revisit the old locations (especially the mansion) and fill the gaps in the story. BTW am I the only one that really liked the camera settings in the pre-4 games. The controls were pretty bad in these games, but I loved the tension that was caused by the static camera. I missed that in 4 (though everything else in that was amazing).

There are elements of the old control style I liked, mainly that it made fighting slow and dumb zombies much more challenging (and in a way realistic) ... In general I'm glad they moved away from those controls because the heal turning was far too frustrating

I'd love the chance to choose a "downgraded" version with wiimote controls over the "superior" graphical powerhouse controller version personally.

Why must it be one or the other? Gamecube had tons of resident evil games and i'm sure the Wii will probably get just as many IMO.

You're not the only one.  Origianl estimates from Capcom put both games about about 500K units worldwide.  With RE4 closing in on three times that number (abiet at a discount price in most regions) and a solid start to RE: UC which should easily glide past 1M when all is said and done, it would be a no brainer for Capcom to bring more of the series to the Wii.  I'm just hoping they're solid titles and not more cheap ports.  And forbid we get some kind of RE: Minigames collection!

I cant see it Steve 3.2 - the day Capcom lower there standards and give us a crap Wii game we'll see but so far all 3 titles have been high quality. They may just be the third party that others inspire to be as the Wii gets taken seriously by these other devs in 08.

given both options, you would choose a wii version over the 360/ps3/PC versions? see, i don't understand that =\ i would love an re2 remake on for wii though :)

Well since you put it that way... Obviously you must belief that our desire to see RE5 on the Wii must be nothing more than a fanciful whim that we just came up without any prior thought or planning as there's really no other way to explain why you thought making such a post would bring any previously lacking illumination to this thread.. 

Seriously though...

I'll take RE5 built specifically for the Wii, does that work for you? And with brilliant logic like, "If you want a game that badly for the Wii you wouldn't settle for a Wii version", it's not hard to see why you don't understand the situation here. To each their own.

 Yes, for starters - if it was on the Wii the wife would play through it with me.  I chose Wii version of Tomb Raider and Simpsons for this very same reason as she refuses to pick up a 360 controller except for Geometry wars, Forza or PGR4.  I also love the Wii controls and out of both versions of RE4 I played then Wii was sooo much more fun for me personally.   

 

Parokki said: Capcom has been awfully quiet about the game after first announcing it. If they're still working on it as a 360/PS3 multiplat, then that's probably how it'll be released (later Wii port possible), but they might've changed it into a multiplat for all consoles, or even a Wii exclusive (not likely) for all we know. Umbrella Chronicles is showing surprising legs. I was pretty sure it wouldn't reach a million, but now it looks like it just might be able to crawl up there eventually.

It's been done once already by Capcom in Monster Hunter 3. I doubt it will happen again so soon as this may enrage fans. Anyways, I think we'll start to see older RE remakes with Wii controls and new graphics or RE5 side story.

Unlike MH3, Resident Evil is a proven franchise on Nintendo so I doubt it will enrage fans.
