If RE5 was to be released it would be a spin-off to the PS3 and Xbox titles, as the Wii doesn't have enough power to play it. On top of that for the amount of money it would cost Capcom to downgrade this they would struggle to make a profit from it.

Simple economics, they want money and RE5 on the PS3/360 wont pay for itself. Reusing the RE4 engine to make a version of Dead Rising for the Wii shows how comitted they are to the console.

None of those reasons relate to RE5 specifically. They're reasons the Wii will definitely be getting more exclusive RE games, as of now RE5 Wii doesn't look like it's coming.

My guess is.. it will come... probably a few months after it's release on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

Resident Evil 4 hit most platforms last-gen, why wouldn't 5?

If You check out what they are doing with RE5 they really build the game around horsepowers. The light/dark thing for example. It won't come to the wii or it would become a different game anyway. I rather want them to make a new game altogether that is designed around the wii. It's a shame they didn't build RE5 around the wii when You think of RE's recent history.

RE5 is just a HD version of RE4. Same animations, same gameplay ( seriously, shooting trucks, hide in a house and defend yourself from the zombie masses, etc. - nothing new - except for more action and even less ''horror'' ) and especially on Wii it would be RE4.5

do not want

in my opinion, i think RE5 will come,

because:

-the success of RE4 port on the Wii, i think they would also consider that especially when the PS3 & Xbox360 version sales become high

-i think it would be easier to downgrade something than to upgrade something, imagine if dead rising is possible on the Wii, they could also put effort of porting RE5 on the Wii but i could take them months/or year.

i think they are just focused right now on the deadline that they have to meet which is the PS3 & Xbox360 version. because some of multiplatform games that has Wii version needs to hire another developer to work on(like the Alone in the Dark and Force Unleashed on Wii) and i think that is not Capcom's style because it is expensive.

I agree. an RE game will definitely come to the Wii, but for RE5 to come, that probably won't happen, maybe... just maybe...

People seem to think it'd be destroyed on Wii. Seeing as the Wii can do twice what the Gamecube did with RE4, it wouldn't be much different from a 'downgrade' between PS3 and 360.

And more importantly, Wii owners have proven they want Resident Evil, as the franchise has already sold more than 3 million units on the system, from a game being ported to its fourth system and an on-rails shooter.

Capcom ports like crazy too, Dead Rising is coming, RE4 has been ported a ton (as said), Okami was ported, the first three Resident Evils were ported all over the place, and Nintendo ends up getting many of their games. I think it's more a matter of time, not a debate.

Capcom 'downgraded' Resident Evil 4 for the 'technically inferior', and bestselling, PS2.

Wii is 'technically inferior.'

Wii has sold more than the 360 and PS3 combined this year.

Hmm.

I think they will have a much better idea as to if they are doing it or not after Dead Rising is relased and the sales come in

Nice little article, but it won't come out for Wii.

The Ps3 and Xbox 360 are available at your local game stores everywhere

will re5 show up on the Wii at some point? maby. if it does it sure wont be for awhile. i do think capcom would be nuts not to release a RE game of re4/5's caliber thats for sure.I know i thought re4 on the GC was THE best game for that system and the Wii version is one of the best Wii games IMHO. Im hopeing for a all new re game. of course thats because i can play the ps3 version of re5 :p.

The enemies in Resident Evil 4 are "parasitically-controlled humans referred to as Los Ganados." They are susposed to be slow and stupid. It might be just me but I really enjoy blasting a "zombie-like" human's head off as they walk towards me. When playing RE4 I felt like I was doing the world a favour by getting rid of these parasitic infested beings.

wow you sheep are a joke.....gongytron

You are definately in the wrong forum. This is just speculation anyways so please just let it go. I myself am pretty sure it has a very VERY slim chance of happening, but it's fun to wonder at the possibilities.

I think it could happen since they are porting Dead Rising, but will they do it? I dunno.

Plus, everyone out there has the sterotype of "Wii is a kiddy/family" system. stuck in their heads. This game has been getting alot of attention because of the setting/characters, so would Capcom like the publicity? It could be good news for both Capcom/Nintendo publicly, but it could also go very wrong.

Cheers to it happening

I expect RE: Degeneration game to come onto the Wii or a RE: Russia which follows RE:UC.

Oh and RE4 was the worst RE game by far! Brilliant game still but still a lousy RE game.

Seeing as how much success the RE4 Wii and RE: UC drew in for Capcom there's the possibility they'll want to build upon those successes, and it's not like it can't be done.

If I remember correctly, PS2 was more powerful than gamecube.

So wouldnt they had to have UPGRADED it for the ps2 and not downgraded it?

People who are so closed minded this day in age still astound me. A few months ago, there was a forum about the possibility of a GTA coming to the WII, maybe GTA 4. At the very start, the scared PS3 and XBOX 360 fanboys who have already been losing the console war were quick to declare not only would GTA 4 would never come too the Wii, but they made the fantastic proclamation that Nintendo would NEVER allow a GTA game on any of their systems, that they were to kiddie and so forth. I simply said that saying something never would happen is simply ingnorrant. Now GTA is appearing on the WII and don't think for a second that it is Rocksta's only plan for Nintendo's system. That being said, I go back too the analogy I made before. When you think about games being ported from one system to another and people who say it can't be done, I promise you, if they can take the heart out of a dead person and put it into a dying person to give them life, you begin to realize how stupid the argument is that you can't make ports on to other systems. Looking at all the videos of Resident Evil 5, I saw so many similarities too RE4 it was almost like watching the same game. Heck, even the villagers hold their weapons the same way in RE 4 and 5. SO a port of RE5 seems even more likely then GTA appearing on a Nintendo system. It may or may not happen, but the fact is, to say something won't happen for sure exposes your fear of it actually happening.
