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.

The Wii isn't powerful enough to run the game, that's end of story in my books...

It's not simply a matter of porting, it's a matter of creating a totally different game, much like what Lucasarts are doing with the Force Unleashed.

not to troll or anything but if this game was to be ported to the wii then it would be a stuttering fuzzy laggy mess compared to its hd counterparts and i dont know who would really want it.

if capcom did do a port of this game i am expecting it to be a very ow quality port and not take full advantage of the waggle

 

You either:

  • have not played RE4: Wii and
  • have not seen the RE4/RE5 video posted above

or

  • are just an ignorant troll

Just watch the clip and you can't honestly tell me you think RE5 can't be ported well to the Wii. RE5 is basically RE4 with a shiny gloss painted over it. Take that away and it won't look as good but it will play even better with the Wiimote.

Can somebody honestly list out what makes RE5 not a good candidate for a Wii port? All I keep hearing is "It wouldn't work/it would be so bad people won't want to play it." Just list out why.

Yes i have lpayed this game round my friends house and i stoped playing it about 5mins in and gave the controller back to me friend. i didnt feel like the waggle added to the game-play i just guess the motion thing is not for everyone, just like how a big sony bravia tv with a ps3 with a dualshock 3 controller isnt for eveyone

 

You can't be serious.........there was action in the first 3 minutes. You kill someone by the 7th minute..... RE4 is ideal with motion control.

But hey, your opinion.

Boo YOUR SPECULATION IS WRONG why!!!? Because it doesn't match my speculation!!!!!! *Challenge, Challenge, Blarg*

Is really what I'm getting out of this thread, I just gave the reasons why RE5 wont be on the Wii and I get told my reason wasn't good enough, I explain myself and Capcoms philosophy and I get ignored only to see the same guy go "blargy blarg blarg" on someone else who also doesn''t believe RE5 will be on the Wii at least not for another 1~2 years after the PS360 version.

Capcom is the master of the cash-in and for some reason people don't get angry. Look at MvC2 ^_^ same exact sprites as every other Vs series. No new moves nothing, look at alpha series or impact series, look at the X series look at the Megaman series look at the Tekken series.. get my drift?

In case you don't a series is just being used by them and many other companies to have an excuse not to innovate.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

If it is ported, then good for Wii only owners and for people who prefer motion controls. Why the hate for a Wii version if you'll get to play it on the 360 and PS3 waaay before a possible port?

I'll get it for the 360 and I hope Wii only owners get to experience it as well.

Perhaps because it would be fun?   RE4: Wii Edition was fun.  Any reason why RE5 on Wii wouldn't be fun?

I say they will, Dead Rising will be RE:5's test, if it sells, CAPCOM will do the port in a year.

Why will Dead Rising be the test? Wasn't RE4 enough of a test? If anything they will release Dead Rising first to make some more money off that game and then announce RE5 afterwards.
I mean, who would want to buy Dead Rising if they know RE5 is coming out soon afterwards.

I love when people don't read the topic at all and just rehash the same ignorant post over and over.

Regardless of how "your books" end it's far from fact that the Wii can't run RE5.  Stop being so close minded and just go watch that video.  There is nothing amazingly revolutionary in RE5 that can't be done on the Wii.  There are plenty of other titles on HD consoles I will agree can't be ported to the Wii without massive sacrifices that could ruin or at least change the game. 

RE5 is clearly not one of them.  Whereas SW:TFU (your example) has the DMM and Euphoria technology to worry about, RE5 has nothing special.  Even the animations are the exact same from the animations that were on the PS2!  It is for all intents and purposes RE4.5 and could easily work on the Wii.
