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

I don't quite get why some are irate with the question.

It's a chain interview...each person interviewed passes on a question for the next person interviewed....Capcom were next after Reggie.

...if you were Reggie what question would you have asked Capcom?

Surely he just asked the most obvious question?

That's very interesting to know and MORE OF YOU SHOULD BE READING THIS POST.

These comments are annoying because it's as if feels like third party should be putting everything on the Wii. As if they owe it to Nintendo or something.  

 

To you, and in particular, to all the crazy HD fans in here who hate the Wii and apparently Reggie: take a second to pull out whatever is stuck in your ass, take off your biased sunglasses that you love wearing so much, and take a look at the words Reggie actually said.

 

How was that arrogant in any way? How does what he say annoy you? He was told that he should ask a question to Capcom, and on the spot that's the first thing he thinks of. It's merely a question, he didn't "demand" anything or attack Capcom, he was merely asking "why?"

 

Get over yourselves you guys, seriously.

that's not my point.
my point is that Reggie is playing sides.


 

A big business trying to appeal to a mass customer base?  Who ever would of thought of that.

Luckily for us Microsoft and Sony don't, ah the joys of summer rifting down the river with both of them, stopping by the nearest river side bank to fire roast the corn we stole from old man jenkins.  Unlike Nintendo who turned out to be some kind business, good old Micro and Son kept it old school and kept it simple, kept it oldschool, kept it hardcore. 

Hehe, i like the stories. I'm just glad that it's finally been admitted by someone that nintendo is in fact in it for the money and is in fact as deceptive and corporate as the other two. :P Sometimes I think that N is spin-less.

 



Oh, poor Reggie is sad because of evil Portcom! Tsk tsk.

I'd take the new RE rails shooter coming out on the Wii over RE5 any day. In fact, I'd be pissed off if Capcom made a Wii version of RE5 because it would be a waste of effort that could have been used to make a completely new adventure survivor horror Wii RE game, or hell, even a RE4 style remake of RE2.

 

You'd be pissed of if campcom made a Wii version of Re5? I've gotta say thats pretty wack.

 

Well I already own RE5 for my 360, so why would I want them to release it on the Wii? I don't particularly like the game, and co-op splitscreen is a disgusting mess because Capcom thought it would be funny to make the screens as small as possible while leaving huge black spots on your TV. The only fun way to play through the game is online co-op.

 

No wait I'm sorry, the co-op with AI Sheva is abso-****ing-lutely the most horrible thing I've played this generation. I had to play the last chapters with her since I couldn't play with my friend at the time, and going through the last few chapters was the most annoying, aggravating time of my entire gaming life. I tried telling her to attack and to cover, and it didn't seem to make any difference. She would only get in my way and waste bullets, and at other times she'd just stand there and would constantly be dying. It was PARTICULARLY obnoxious and mind-numbingly aggrevating on *boss spoilers* the woman who gets mutated on the ship and turns into the huge monster. Sheva wouldn't shoot those little larva things the boss spat out, and they would run all over me while I tried to shoot the huge laser beam at the boss.

I almost felt like crying out of frustration while playing that game, and it was one of the most stressful experiences I've ever had in a game, and I've played lots of annoying games.

 

The only positive thing that came out of that game was that me and my friends would make fun of how much it was a clone of GeoW, and whenever we'd "die", we'd always say "REVIIIVE MEEE!!" in the scruffy, coarse gears voices. It was humurous.

@wfz
I had no trouble with sheva AI, in fact, she died a lot less than when I had partners.

All you have to do on the boat is bring a couple mines and use the grenades that they drop to clear them away quickly. Really not that hard, even on professional.

Cover makes her stand near you and only shoot nearby enemies that are charging or about to grab you, allowing you time to lineup shots, while she blasts anyone in a 5 yard radius. It works very well. Maybe you just don't know how to play yet?

Do you realise that the "HD fanboys" have been pretty nice about this topic up untill now. I'm going to lay it out for fanboys in as simple terms as possible: The Wii cannot and never will be able to run a game on the level of Resident Evil 5. Do you realise how much more powerful the 360 and PS3 are then the Wii? Do you need to see the specs? Yes Resident Evil 4 was a BEAUTIFUL game when it came out in 2005 on Gamecube don't try and say "If it can do Resident Evil 4 it can do Resident Evil 5". That's like saying The NES can run The Ocarina of Time because it had The Legend of Zelda on it. 

 

Every day you hear a Wii fanboy laughing his ass off about Wii sales. How Nintendo was so smart to make a have made a console that was so cheap that they can make $80 profit on each one sold. "Ha ha look at SONY look at Microsoft loosing billions". But heres the thing: YOU are not Nintendo, YOU are not Reggie. YOU are the consumer. It's not magic, it's not "third parties hate Nintendo". Nintendo was tired of the tech war they purposely steped out of the ring to fight another war which they have been very succesful at. But if YOU want to play games like RE5, GTA4, Fallout 3, Gears of War, Bioshock, Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy 13, Halo 3, Killzone 2 etc. YOU better start thinking about getting a PS360 or upgrading your PC because none of these games are coming to Wii.

Or you can enjoy the excellent games that the Wii does have. I know I do. THAT EXACTLY THE POINT THE WII IS SUPPOSED TO BE DIFFERENT! So never wonder why Wii does not get ports of PS360 games. It c'not do it Captian! it just doesn't have the power!  

And yes I realise that wtf's has a 360, this post goes out to delusional fanboys who always wonder why the Wii doesn't get PS360 ports without even taking a second to consider the most obvious answer.

 



Wait, she shoots on cover? I thought she literally just covered, because she wouldn't shoot anything at all while under that command. During one part of that mission when you are separated after lifting her up to this spot, she runs away and gets mauled by a dog. She has a pistol, the laser stick, and 3 different kinds of grenades. What does she do? She stands there and keeps getting hit by the dogs until she died. She was on "cover", but according to what you said, she should have still attacked the dogs, right?

I gave her ALL of my grenades, since I never use them. She only ever used one of them, and I will admit that it was at a pretty damn good time. Besides that, it's like she's not strong enough to pull the pins out or something, because she refuses to use grenades.

The only thing she was good at was those small quick time events. I don't think it's possible for her to lose them, which is good because that would be sooooooo annoying.

Maybe I just don't know how to play yet? *rolls eyes*

Well, speaking of RE5, did anyone like the quick time events in this game? I thought they were another annoyingly stupid part, considering that they're not hard at all. You can press down every single button on the 360 as fast as you can, and you get through those cut-scenes. It doesn't matter if you press the wrong one as long as you press the right one as well. I thought it was a lame idea to do it in such a "cheating" way, so I actually tried getting through those legitimately, and I a now 95% positive that it's impossible to do it that way. Those quick time events go way too fast to do them without cheating, and they happen at the most RANDOM times, like at the very very end of the game. I hated that last one because I already had my controller by my side, the ending was rolling, and all of a sudden it prompted me to press some buttons. After flailing my arms and fumbling with my controller, guess what happened? I ****ing died, and had to do the entire last boss over. Overall I thought RE5 had the worst implementation of QTE ever. GoW on the other hand does it great.

Exactly! We don't need ports of HD games. Dead Rising Wii is a good example. Meanwhile I've enjoyed it...but I still think that game was unnecessary and we would be better off with a spinoff or a completely different game.

Whoever responsible for Dead Space is doing something smart. Instead of porting HD games to the Wii, they decide to make a prequel of it. (Although hearing it being on-rails sounds disappointing, but eh who knows how it will end up?)

My screen name is "wfz", not "wtf". You either need glasses or need to stop being a little child with the insults. :P

You completely missed my post, if you were trying to respond to it. I was saying that people need to stop bitching about Reggie asking a mere question. Everyone's all up in arms acting like Reggie is so arrogant when that's hardly the case.

In response to your post, who said RE5 had to be a port? They could have made it alongside ground up for the Wii on a different engine and whatnot. It would be possible to make RE5 on the Wii building it from the ground up, but of course I wouldn't expect them to port it in the state it's in. That being said, I don't want them to port it anyways, I'd rather they spent the effort to make something unique on the Wii.
