RE5 will surely be coming to the Wii.

Capcom have mentioned they haven't totally disregarded the option of making Resident Evil 5 for the Wii, aside the already announced PS3 and 360 versions. Eventhough we won't be seeing the game for another year or so, I still don't understand what reason Capcom has for not immediately making it for the Wii as well. Sure, the Wii version would be different to the PS360 one because of the big graphical differences and whatnot, but it can't be that much of a hastle right? But, that's not the main point.RE4 has sold around 1.3 million copies and is currently the best selling Wii game that isn't made by Nintendo, unless you count Mario & Sonic Olympics which was mainly Sega. Then there's RE: Umbrella Chronicles with around 700k, which eventhough doesn't seem like that much, you have to remember that the game was only released 2 months ago. This clearly shows that the Resident Evil fanbase on the Wii is respectable, so doubts about RE5 selling on the Wii should be thrown off a cliff. Not only that, but the Gamecube had quite a few games in the series, so if the trend continues with Nintendo consoles and its fans it would work for the Wii.Now now, cows, lemmings and other forms of Wii haters, don't give me the 'The Wii can't handle the graphics that RE5 will have on PS360' argument. You have to live with the fact that some Resident Evil fans out there with the Wii Edition prefer the benefits of gameplay with the Wii Remote rather than cutting edge graphics. If it does take a little more time to customize RE5 for the Wii then so be it. We'll be waiting.:lol: I almost let the topic turn into a 'Cow: Just wait!' or a lemming and their MGS4 port rumours, but yeah you get what I mean.

Wii can't handle RE5 at the rate that PS3 and 360 are doing it. You'd have a massive downgrade. I highly doubt it ends up on the Wii. Would think they would've announced it after RE4 was released on the Wii and sold like it did but they didn't.

They were waiting to see how the sales of Umbrella Chronicles turns out, which have been pretty good seeing it's only been out for 2 months.

Give up. RE5 won't come to Wii. And if it does, i will chop off all my fingers.

[QUOTE="z_gaming_master"]Enjoy your watered down version. Axel_rocks14

I don't play graphics, so I sure would.

No, you play gameplay.

Have fun with the reduced amount of enemies on screen.

Oh andany watered downdestructible environments and physics

I hear the lighting system is essential to the gameplay too...

I'm sure it'll be great though :|

Did you ever play RE4? It came to the GC first and it still looks good today. So why wouldn't the wii handle it? RE4 looked great on wii as well

Not to mention that Capcom has a track record of porting whatever chance they get. Street Fighter IV's a possibility, too. For those who don't believe me, count how many Megaman games there are. How many versions of Resident Evil games. How many versions of Street Fighters.
