Oh, I thought Shinji Mikami was still with Capcom.  So that new Suda 51 x Mikami game is Grasshopper x Seeds PlatinumGames.  Wonder how that'll turn out.
Mikami did a lot of work with Clover studio and left when they were disbanded.  He was also still upset with Capcom about them porting RE4 to PS2 over his head after he strongly disagreed with the decision to do so.
Oh. And I thought RE4 was timed exclusive.  I didn't know they backstabbed Mikami :O
Not only did they backstab Mikami, but they gave the Gamecube the finger too.  They announced the PS2 version of RE4 2 months before the release of the Gamecube version with exclusive content.  Of course, it turned out the PS2 version played and looked like crap next to the Gamecube version, but they killed the sales of the Gamecube version themselves.  Mikami was really pissed about this and refused to work on anymore Resident Evil games.  He moved from Studio 4 to Clover, and then when they were disbanded left with them.
No wonder they remade it for the Wii.  Not only did they lose sales, they lost Mikami.  They dug themselves in a big hole.
I'd forgotten that part.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

This is a shame. Oni is right. Capcom's big ticket games are not coming to the Wii at present.

Since when did Wii owners become satisfied with low-budget games and PS2 ports?


You obviously never played Zack and Wiki.


I have.  It's a 2/5 star game for me.  I'll take something else please.

Is there already any information about the project seeds is working, seeing how many talented people they've got I expect big things from them.

Then you're not a fan of puzzles. Nothing wrong with that.  But I do think there is something wrong with the "low budget = low quality" equation implicit in your post.
