Most of the work was already done on the PS360.


That isnt a valid reason and here is why. Both the 360 and Wii U are PPC based systems. Porting it would take no time at all. Some developers early on had their games ported to Wii U in a matter of days

Perhaps the difficulty of making a port depends on the game. Like if its using an engine already ported to Wii U.

Eitherway, I'm a little reluctant to believe a port is done as easily as you're implying. Otherwise we'd probably see more ports.

Wow, the ps3 version is pretty expensive at $230! (You need for the extra features right?)
Most people have a smartphone (or possibly tablet) so the 360 version is pretty cheap.

I'll stick with the original pc version I picked up for $9.99 on clearance at Best Buy. Nice deal I found while visiting home last year.

old news is old, bomba will still be bomba

But will it bomb only on Wii U, or in all consoles?, a lot of people where expecting this to be a 15 dollar DLC, not a 30 dollars disc purchase. Will many repurchase?


all of them.

superior controls come at a price guys, you can't expect to get the vastly superior version of every games and not pay for it from time to time



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Because PS3/360 owners need buy the game again.  $60+$30 is worse than $50.  Honestly Wii U owners getting the better deal out of this. aside from PS3/360 owners who never bought the original.

Since the original been bargain bin prices for a long time anyway I'd imagine anyone who had interest in this Director's Cut would be people who played and liked the original, so the $90 people.

With that logic, it's surprising VC games aren't priced 65$.

I didn't play the original, and i like the idea of the revamping of the gameplay and the gamepad addition. I was really thinking of getting it.

But to pay 20$ extra for this, i don't think so. I'll vote with my wallet on this.

I agree with you that 20 extra is too much, how much is the extra suff worth? Personally I would pay 10 extra, so if the game comes down to 40 I will buy it.

Amen to this. Square Enix sent this game to the slaughter. No one is picking this up on any system. Not with them giving away the other verion on PS+ not that long ago and dirt cheap on Steam. This is the kind of stuff that makes me think they don't have much time left before they drop out of the industry completely.

Yeah this has been announced 4 months ago.

It isn't that simple. While the 360, PS3, and Wii U may use similar instruction sets, there are many, many ways in which their architectures differ. How much memory and cache there is, how they're organized, the nuances of their graphics processors. Perhaps a single core of the Wii U CPU is better at integer calculations, but worse at floating point than the other consoles. Any tuning for performance you do on one platform is bound to get thrown out the window when you move it to another.

thats one game and they were being petty. BUT i have seen Ninty fans complain about more than one game, but on much smaller scales. Kupomogli brought up the Ninty angle im just asking questions


GTA4 ring a bell. I dont recall Nintendo fans sending SE death threats or threatening to commit suicide over this.

no they didnt, but thats my point, its on a smaller scale. ninty fans did complain about getting no GTA at all, and Dead Space, and a real RE, Soul Calibur, Tales of Graces (in the west) etc.

I thought you guys were talking about console diehards complaining at the loss of an exclusive, not at the lack of a multiplat.

If you want to argue that Nintendo fans complain more about not getting multiplats than Sony & MS fans do, you'll have to contend with the fact that multiplats were a dime a dozen on PS3/360 and a downright rarity on Wii. Of course Wii owners who didn't own a PS3 or 360 were going to complain about not getting RE5 or Dead Space 2 when RE4 proved such games could be played (and play well) on Wii with a simple graphical downgrade. And of course Wii U owners are going to complain about not getting Soul Cal 2 HD when it just makes so much damn sense to do it.


i dont need to contend that multiplats were a dime a dozen on PS360 as that is common sense, but I wont contend that RE5 would have just have been a simply graphical downgrade, for one the game would have looked MUCH worst. It would not have looked like a graphical downgrade it would have looked like a completly diffrent game, enemy AI, less on screen not as smart, environments, they would habe been smaller and im havent even gotten to the online yet, which most likely not have even made it to the WIi version. Cant believe people are still saying this to this day. They either never played 5 or are lying to themselves, yes Capcom could have MADE a game and called it RE5 but it would not have been Resident Evil 5, not the true version
