Inafune: Capcom “putting a lot of effort into Wii,” gamers will be shocked at how good Monster Hunter 3 looks, more

“Of course the Wii is a very important part of our multi-platform strategy. Games like RE4 on the Wii and Umbrella Chronicles have done quite well for us, and of course there’s Monster Hunter. Although it isn’t too popular, it was the number one selling title in Japan last year. So that goes to show we are very serious about the Wii as a company. People say that third-party Wii games don’t sell in Japan, but I can honestly say that we are cutting no corners with Monster Hunter Tri. There’s a lot of pressure to make it succeed, and I’m sure there will be a lot of shocked gamers out there when they see just how good Monster Hunter Tri looks. Please don’t worry. We are putting a lot of effort into Wii as well.” - Keiji Inafune

Mr. Inafune made these remarks on a recent Top Secret podcast, which is hosted on the Bionic Commando website.

Well MH3 grfx do look great so far

Good irony there. The latest Bionic Commando was on every platform but Wii. It's not like it was too graphically intensive (it was a XBL/PSN game) or that there wasn't a fanbase (the first BC was for NES and the next for GB). And the next Bionic Commando? X360, PS3, PC. Thanks Capcom.

 How is this a surprise? Capcom is the biggest hypocrite in Gaming right now. Why even take what they say seriously?

Uh oh, apparently good graphics can only be done via on rails, Monster Hunter 3 on-rails confirmed! Quick break out the torches and pitchforks ;)

On topic, I don't think that one "core" game on the Wii is what I would call "taking it seriously". There's no reason SF4 couldn't have been done on the Wii, nor a RE5 using the RE4 engine. 1 core game every 2-3 years is more like Rare back before MS bought them out. Capcom should be doing more.

GoNintendo also mentioned this, and commented that it sounded like he was apologizing for their other games being crap.

Yeah Capcom is getting on my shit list pretty quickly. I mean they supported the early on when things were still unclear. Now that the Wii is on top they seem to have fallen back. WTF?

I would like to not though after playing the RE5 demo on Live I am far less concerned if it will be Wii bound. Frankly it sucks, not horrible, but sub-par, except perhaps the co-op.

Lulz, I have seen a few gameplay trailers and I must say that the above comments are complete Bull and you should have a nice day.

Your comment is not very clear, I'm not sure what exactly you are saying.

There is only one way to apologize. Megaman Legends 3. Any other method is unacceptable.

It seems like they make games for Wii that are only big in japan.  But games that are big in NA all go to PS360.
