I wouldn't be suprised if this is actually in preperation for the WiiHD. Its really late for Capcom to begin making multiplatform games for the Wii. Can the Wii even handle the engine? I bet Capcom knows about the next Wii and is really preping the engine for that platform and not really for the Wii. I mean Capcom can't come out and say "Were porting our engine to the next Wii" , but they have to say something so saying something like "Were porting our engine over to the Wii" makes far more sense!
If Capcom is actually bringing their engine to the Wii I have to say I don't care to see it died down. I mean look at CallOfDuty's engine that was ported. CallOfDutyWaW was utterily horrible compared to the 360 counter part. Just look at screens for ModernWarfare the game looks horrible. I think games built for the HD consoles should remain exclusive to the HD consoles and games built for the Wii should be exclusive to the Wii.
Of course I know many fans who only own Wii's must be loving this news. Finally the oppertunity to play all those games they missed out on. But for any multiplatform owner this just seems stupid.
