So this a mods response on the Capcom forums about new RE games on Wii and why they will NEVER happen. Infact it sounds like no Wii engine has been built at all.

A lot of Wii owners bought it because it was one of Capcom's tests. They said if it sold, we would get a proper RE in the future. And guess what? It hasn't happened yet Frown

So, as I said before, a lot of the people that bought the original will not buy Dark Chronicles (including me).

And how long do you think it would take Capcom to build a proper game on the Wii?

Games are planned at least a year or two before they ever enter production, and then they have like a two year development time on top of that, so given that and when RE4/UC were released and sold a million copies, you honestly expected to see a proper RE game already?

The time, money, and development team size of something like UC isn't nearly as big as a proper RE game would be (on any platform) so of course you're going to see UC2 before you see a RE proper.

Like that's what ends up being really annoying about you guys is that you don't take these facts into account or don't even know about them but then spout off about it as if you do or like you've got it all figured out.

You might say "well Capcom should tell us these things that you're saying then" but they can't. It would be great if companies could be that open about everything but they can't, ie if they had a proper RE game planned they couldn't tell you.

Going by your logic, why did Capcom start developing Dead Rising and Lost Planet on 360 before it was a proven platform for those games?

Because they got dev kits for 360 before anything else. Not to mention Microsoft was pretty crazy with snacthing up alot of exclusives early on. There's also the fact that early on nobody (not even Nintendo) predicted how well the Wii would do.

I can also say this now that someone else let it slip, but apparently Capcom's MT Framework engine that they develop almost all their next gen games on isn't Wii compatible.

Nothing new here...

Look, I don't mean to be mean to any Wii owners who feel like they're being treated as second-class, but seriously guys, What The Fuck.

Why do y'all care that one or two developers are devoting their attention elsewhere? So Capcom's sticking the B-teams on the Wii (ignoring Monster Hunter and Spyborgs). So Ubisoft thinks that Raving Rabbids is "Nintendo-like quality." So EA (and Capcom) think rail-shooters are the most complex thing Wii owners can handle.

So freaking what?

If those developers don't bring games you're interested in to the system, buy the games that DO interest you instead. This whole "We Wii owners are the victims" attitude is disgusting: it may have made a modicum of sense in 2007, but we've got so much good shit coming out soon that that crying victim no longer makes sense. Seems to me that Wii owners who complain about a lack of software are beggars sitting on a pile of gold.

You know, my Wii collection stands at 27 already, and that doesn't count Virtual Console, WiiWare, or the 18 released retail titles that I'm very interested in but don't have the time for. Between now and the end of May, I'm looking at six NEW titles that I really, REALLY want. This number increases in June, let alone for the rest of the year. This number increases with WiiWare/VC titles, both previously released and yet-to-be released. I'm positive that most Wii owners have similar stories.

So Capcom doesn't think the Wii is worth their time and effort. The proper response is to say "fuck 'em" and go buy some of the many, many other great games coming out for the system instead.

It ain't our loss, folks, it's theirs. So let's stop pretending otherwise, and go play some games.

"and go buy some of the many, many other great games coming out for the system instead."

Like the game in your sig?

If you would be so kind, sir!

noname, what´s Little King Story about, anyway?..Is it a RTS game?

Can't you see whats happening? Why do you think Dead Space is on rails? Is EA risking millions of dollars on an untested product for the Wii? No

The very fact that there may be other companies copying Capcom IS THE PROBLEM.

Well, less money for them, I guess.

I mean I like Capcom, but if they don't want even more of my precious moneys I can't really hate them for it.

Nothing new here, but like noname said, now that there are better options out there, we can just ignore it

Though Dark Chronicles will probably break a million also

I cant wait for Lost Planet 2. M.T. Framework 2.0 looks awesome.

megaman, about your OP....the parts that aren´t bolded...is that from a Capcom dev himself?
