honestly why would capcom make this game for wii?
it was odd to me when the announced it.
they should have jsut made one for the wii rather than just downgrading

Och hopefully this doesn't affect a possible ps3 port or the quality of DR2

What's your f-ing problem with RE and Wii? You were also trolling another thread with this nonsense today.

I'm a big fan of the series, played all the games, RE5 is pre-ordered and I'm sure it will be great, but what's so frigging hard to understand about the fact that RE4:Wii is by far the superior version to one of the best games ever and that that's because of the CONTROLS?!?

Like I said I'm a big fan of the series, but I would prefer it on Wii, even though that would mean crappy graphics.

OT: This game was beyond saving from the first video Capcom released.

god damn it

Uh it make perfect sense to me. The porting of RE4 for Wii sold unexpectedly well. I  image that  Capcom managment then checked what they had in the development for Wii with the same concept to release quickly on the market and they had nothing at all.

So they pick the same guys that did the RE4 Wii port and tell them to use the same engine they already had to develop a RE4-like game for Wii in about a year. 

Seeing some similarity between Dead Rising and Resident Evil they decided to use Dead Rising like a skin to the RE4-like game.

If this game is good I will suggest to a friend ( that enjoyed RE4 and want something similar on Wii ) to buy it. 

With serious effort RE5 Wii EDITION could definitly be done on the Wii, unlike this game that was Capcoms half-assed effort to satisfy RE-fans on the Wii.

If it was a simple matter of everything making the transition from the ps3/x360 to the Wii sans graphics, I'd agree with you. Other things would most likely get the axe, such as split screen, and any hope of getting an online experience on par with the other consoles (especially voice chat) would be pretty much out the window. Any RE5 Wii port would be a shell of its former self.
