The reason why RE5 aint going to the Wii is does not have the same type systems as the 360 or PS3 if they were to do RE5 on the Wii they whould have redo the whole game again just for the Wii.

it's kind of silly for Reggie to call out capcom like this ..

capcom has given them 2 resident evil games the last year, 2 this year (ports yeah, but hey, nintendo themselves are re-releasing cube games for the wii too) dead rising a little while ago, and have already pledged another resident evil game exclusively for the wii.

AND they're making monster hunter 3 a wii exclusive. That game alone will sell multi-million units in japan.

It's not like they're doing Nintendo a FAVOR or being nice by making games for the Wii. It's all business.

Yes, I can see how this would work:

"RESIDENT EVIL: THE KIJUJU CHRONICLES"

I hate Resident Evil news on April 1st, specially here.

Both ‘Resident Evil 5‘ and ‘Street Fighter IV‘ were designed for high-definition graphics systems using Capcom’s current in-house engine called MT Framework. To get ‘RE5′ or ‘Street Fighter IV’ out on the Wii, we would have to create all-new versions of both of these games, which is something we’re not opposed to doing. So the intention of both ‘RE5′ and ‘Street Fighter IV’ was to go for graphical showcases, which is not what the center of the bullseye Wii is aiming for. However, we do have a lot of ‘Resident Evil’ action happening on the Wii and hopefully we will have more in the future.

this is capcoms official reply

i hope this is a joke
