Not really seeing how well umbrella chronicles and Re4 sold. I could see a new RE title being announced at least before the end of the generation for the wii.

I'm hoping for Resident Evil as well, and I don't see how it's impossible. Capcom churned out a light-gun game that's well past a million, so that's the absolute basement for a main series entry.

Yeah, but that takes serious effort, and while Capcom's been improving very rapidly on the system, they've mostly outsourced their Wii games so far. Mind you, if they outsource it to Mikami Shinji I would cry tears of joy, but most likely they'd want to keep any "true" RE game in-house, and between RE5, Monster Hunter, and Dark Void I think they're short on manpower right now. I can see one of those teams being shifted after they've finished what they're working on, but not before.

 Heh, Spyborgs is still getting short shrift.

A couple thoughts: I don't have any real idea how large Capcom is, or how many projects they can have in simultaneous development. But it's not out of the realm of possibility that they still have resources to devote towards this game. I  was also under the impression that MH3 was nearly finished, but I coud be totally wrong on that.

And as you said, they can farm it out. I love the idea of Platinum Games doing merc work on this.

Why do you assume this is a Wii game, and not the confirmed HD project running on the UE3?

I still think their 2 secret games were MM9 and the new HD project. I just can't be optimistic with Capcom anymore.

As I needlessly pointed out to scnumbers, the article states that it is a Wii game. MM9 doesn't fit the bill, really - is classic Mega Man a next-gen favorite? Or in any way similar to Lost Planet or Bionic Commando?

Actually, I think Spyborgs has tremendous potential. But it's not Capcom developed: Bionic Games is making it, with Capcom just publishing it. And while they probably have enough employees to throw someone at it, that's exactly what I don't want. I want that game to be as good as RE 4 was, and that takes a tremendously talented team. Put alternatively, I demand Capcom's best, and they're all taken. And actually, MH3 still has a ways to go: it's not even going to show at E3.

@trestres: because the game has been named for the Wii by the Spyborgs developer. It's possible Mega Man 9 was the project, but since it hasn't come out this gen it's hard to call it a "next-gen favorite."

@noname: And how do you know it will be showcased at the E3? Who said it will? I still think this is the new HD project.

Edit: I hope this is a Wii game, but I won't get my hopes up with Capcom until I actually see a proper game from them.

I only hope it is not like DC3 though.  DC 1 and DC 2 were both good game the first one was more like a survival horror game while the second was more a action game;...  I would be already happy if they choose one of both :).

Touche. I can't recall why exactly I'm convinced it's a Wii title, so I can't offer you a link like I usually do. I do, however, have the distinct impression from somewhere that it's a Wii game. Still, I'll concede you might be right...but even IF you are, and the game doesn't show at E3, I still want to try to figure out what it might be.
