Forums - Nintendo - Reggie demands to know why RE5 and some other Capcom games aren't on Wii

Why does he care, anyway? The Wii sells more software and more hardware than both the HD consoles, and they want more? Greedy bastards.

Qual é, Dadinho...?

Developer choice Reggie. If they decide not to that's there risk they take. They ran the assessments and came up with the conclusion that if they put some of those games on Wii that the potential costs of porting it would outweigh the sales. Although I do think with SFIV and RE5 which have significant brand ties to Nintendo platforms would have been good choices to have Wii versions. Especially RE5. Now games like Lost Planet, DMC4, etc I can understand.

It's not that he's arrogant, it's a valid question, people think he's cocky but he's really not. there is no reason to have a price drop on Wii for example, he shouldn't have to explain why, because the better question is why do people think Nintendo should do it because I don't see why myself if it's selling like hot cakes, the man goes right to the point, it's more aggressiveness than arrogance(or being cocky) by far, the man wastes no time. The simple truth is Capcom hasn't provided the same effort to the Wii as a whole and it shows, no matter how many anti-Wii people there are, it still is the leading console of this gen after all. Then again, you could argue that Capcom hasn't been showing the same effort towards making games in general lately, but that's just my 2 cents.

 

 HD consoles ( seeing how they both get games)  are still the leading one this gen.

Thing is the PS3 and the Xbox360 are close enough from each others that releasing a game on both is not a lot more expansive than releasing it only on one...

 

It's not on the Wii because Nintendo purposedly designed a system not easilly compatible with the other consoles and Regie knows it perfectly well...

 

Sure Capcom could probably trash the graphics and do a shitty port and then Wii owners would complain and Capcom image would be even more hurt. There's no win-win situation in those cases. You don't do a port, people bitch, you do a port they bitch too...

HD consoles are not 1 console, there are 3 consoles so that hardly qualifies as a valid argument, it's more cost vs effort vs profit and Capcom has gone corp, I don't blame them for doing so since it will yield them with a burst of money at a lower cost but that doesn't impress me one bit as how their company works now vs how they used to be. Capcom games are still good but the innovation and quality of production is not as high as they used to be.

I think there were a number of reasons why RE5 could and/or was not done on the wii but the biggest technical hurdle cited by the producer of the game was that Sheva's AI is just too advance for the wii.

I think Reggie had a similar outburst like this last year with Dead Space (and maybe some other games?), and now the wii is getting Dead Space: Extraction, and Capcom has already announced a new Resident Evil game for the wii.

 

uh..... I don't know, Sheva's script is hardly impressive, it's actually quiet crappy.



The long and short of it is that the gun is enjoyable. It's worth the money and I've beaten it about 12 times with buddies. Going online is fun and a great social experience. I like when people join and then I shoot all the emblems for a couple levels, it makes them really happy.

So yaknow what, who cares that it's "not as good as re4", no game is as good as zelda a link to the past but I enjoy them. Get real haterz!

well, if I want coop fun, I'll go play L4D or TF2 on Steam, though no L4D or TF2 if you are a PS3 gamer I guess since The Orange Box wasn't so hot on the PS3. RE5 coop isn't even close to what L4D has to offer and L4D AI Script is actually smarter O_O.



whatever who cares, it's fun.
I don't even like tf2 so there you have it



I dislike RE5 for many reasons, but in the end it's an "OK" action game. I will say this, Gears 2 was scarier than RE5, and Gears 2 didn't scare me at all. RE5 was a bore fest and is nothing like the originals, and I could care less about ever playing it again. It was fun playing online co-op, but that was just for the co-op experience, which I can get with plenty of other better amazing shooter games.

It makes sense story-wise that the enemies are getting smarter and better and more human-like, but that doesn't mean I enjoy it as much as the originals. It's not even remotely close to the original games in any way, so bleh!

"Fear you can't forget." Yeah, I can't forget something that was never there. Clever, Capcom!!

It will be on the Wii in 1-2 years.

so the xbox 360 and ps3 are not 1 console? Glad we found someone smart as you to figure this out.

 

Nintendo choose to make alot of profit on hardware, and released the Wii with a sweet 250 price tag. Nintendo knew full well that the wii would miss out on great 3rd party titles, but did so anyway. This would also boost their own 1st party software sales, since not alot of competition.

They let u Wii fans miss out on great 3rd party titles for money, and then reggie points his finger at capcom.

Real classy
