According to their annual report, Capcom has announced that starting next year, every game they launch will be multiplatform, according to them exclusivity is over.

"All major titles launched during the next fiscal year or thereafter will be developed as multi-platform games."

Henceforth, Capcom will develop many of its games using its internal MT Framework technology, "an integrated development environment built to provide common development tools for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC platforms."

What does this mean? Will RE5, Bionic Commando, Dark Void and SF4 be released for the Wii? (The ones that launch next fiscal year)
Or does this mean that Wii will not get anymore games, as they mention that the MT Framework technology will be used to develop games for 360, PS3 and PC only?

Also, what are major titles? We know Spyborgs, Dead Rising Wii and Neopetz are cheap games, so they will remain exclusively for the Wii, but what about MH3? Does this mean that MH3 is now a multiplat release that may skip the Wii, because of the MT Framework engine?

One last worrying thing is that Capcom is planning on making casual sport games.

Capcom looking to go casual with sports titles

“As the market underwent major changes, we believed that it was extremely crucial for a Japanese game developer to swiftly organise a structure to create and sell hit titles overseas. We are also planning to expand the genre itself to address the needs of an even wider range of consumers. Our first strategy in this endeavor is to expand into the sports genre.” - chief operating officer and president Haruhiro Tsujimoto

This may mean that cheap games/shovelware will be on the Wii, just like Ubisoft is doing, while major titles will remain HD/PC multiplat?

What do you think?

I dunno, it says "All major titles" for 360/PS3/PC which collectively is bigger than the Wii audience (and buys more games). My guess is Wii will only be getting casual sports titles and spin-offs of their major franchises (like RE:UC and DR:CTYD). MH3 may be the exception.

"All major titles launched during the next fiscal year or thereafter will be developed as multi-platform games."

Obviously nothing Capcom considers major or important.

@Soriku: They said titles that are going to launch next year, not that were announced before next year. This really sucks.

Capcom's inability to keep something on one platform isn't really new.

But last thing we need are the usual headless chickens screaming Wii Doom in reference to Capcom's support. They would effectively be abandoning the Japanese market.

Yeah, the plan barely started though.  Gonna be a awhile before a new plan comes.  They will become the japanese EA/Activision (minus a lot of the sales).

Here comes Claude, the guy that likes to insult others because they have different opinions. How can anyone be so blind, hell I find it difficult to understand!

I haven't seen anyone scream Doom for the Wii in this thread at least.

I wanted to see games as epic as this one on the Wii from Capcom. Too bad I guess...

Well at least their commercials are cool.

@Soriku: It was great wasn't it?? The chick is very hot.

 You should check the original post. It has some random fanboy spouting off his normal nonsense about how Capcom is going to can every Wii game they have in development and never touch the platform again. Wait...
