I believe they did. Take Two actually stated that if the petition got enough signatures, they would make the collector's edition, and the sigs came. It's on Kotaku. I just have to look it up.
Here. It may not prove this petition will work, but it does disprove the notion that online petitions never work.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

No, not really. Cartridges don't play on Disc Readers. Crazy I know. You think Nintendo would have re-released the entire NES, SNES and N64 libraries on Gamecube Compatible discs or something so that the GC could have had BC right? Gamecube's reason for no Backwards compatibility was a change in formats and the resulting complications there of, sorry but the prospect of a foot long addition to the Gamecube to play these three cartridge types isn't a realistic one I'm afraid. The 360's was, oh I know lets make a completely different hardware based console that isn't compatible with its predicessor and refuse to pay the rights to buy the hardware that would allow them to have true B/C. The PS3's was, oh shit we made an overengineered console that costs too much, how do we cut costs? What goes first? Also I ask, what is worse, a brand that didn't have B/C and now does or a brand that did and now doesn't? |
Why do u complain of the ps3 dont having BC, everyone owns a PS2, if u dont, ur a LOOSER.
I hope u dont get this game so u cant be happy :)

Where's the petition to stop people from bitching about petitions that don't concern them?
This could go on for a while.

| theshoe23 said: There is a little problem with that logic. You see the PS2 was always way out in front of the other consoles. The Wii is not going to keep selling like it is forever. I know this for a fact, and the third parties know it too. I'm sorry, no one on this site is an analyst, yet some completely ignore what these people who are making a ton of money (analysts) are saying about the console scene. The fact is Wii is #1 right now, but its not really #1 in terms of software sales. Thats because grandparents and soccer moms don't buy games for themselves. Wii is Wii Sports. ....The industry has spoken, and the real next gen consoles are 360 and PS3 |
I'm not sure if you're actually so deluded that you really believe that, or if you're just trying to get a rise out of people.
This thread should be lock, we all know that resident evil 5 won't come to the wii because it has been in development for the ps360 for a long time now plus the wii can't handle resident evil 5, anyways I will prefer a ground up resident evil with resident evil 4 controls exclusive for the wii rather that a gimped version of resident evil 5.

Mods don't lock threads for that reason.
And I am sick of that "Wii can't handle the game" line. We don't know what the game will be like, nor how it will really push the systems. So using gimped is a lie, since you don't actually know what would have to change.

I signed it, but I'd much rather see a spin off (like Code:Veronica) specifically designed for the Wii.

I am well and truly shocked that you were the one to answer that. Well, it could've been Neos!

The prime reason is always money, but no business is wise to ignore a raving fanbase that wants to give them money.
Capcom's Svennson talking about Okami:
"You referenced earlier all the petitions of people screaming for us to do Okami Wii, and we had so many posts on our message boards about it, I think we had to seriously consider what could be done. Being honest, revisiting Okami for Wii was kind of a sensitive thing internally with Clover's past]. But I looked at it as, the fans want it, the fans deserve it, we've got to figure out a way to do this," explains Svensson. "And I thought there was a commercial value to the company in doing this and frankly that's how we got it sold through. The company will do well to do this -- to address the needs of what the fans want."
For those of you who think fan feedback is futile.
Wii has the fanbase, wii has the market. Capcom can make money selling Wii users another Resident Evil game. If they scream loud enough, Wii RE fans are sure to get something, though perhaps not RE5 specifically.
"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event." — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing
