Goron_3 Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 It now looks like there will be NO Resi on the Wii, atleast for a while anyway... http://www.pro-g.co.uk/news/23-08-2006-3466.html "Takeuchi also went all uncomfortable and apologetic when we asked him about Resident Evil Wii, saying he didn't know if there would be one. Although when we put our puppy-dog eyes on, he did at least concede that there might be a teensy chance of seeing such a game. We're taking that as a promise, and if we don't see a Resi Wii eventually we're going to call him up and cry down the phone." Oh No....this is terrible...Worst.News.Ever. I really hope this isn't true...I really, REALLY do, and maybe he was just saying it because it is currently on hold or something.
Demuwan Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I will KILL Capcom if this is true. Whose with me?
Teppo Holmqvist Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Oh No....this is terrible...Worst.News.Ever. I really hope this isn't true...I really, REALLY do, and maybe he was just saying it because it is currently on hold or something. Probably simply bluffing or lost in translation. I mean, he could have understood that interviewer asked about Resident Evil 5, which is clearly not going to be on Wii. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo / Capcom is saving "ammo" for TGS, even though they don't have official presence there.
dabookerman Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I will KILL Capcom if this is true. Whose with me? No, i think resident evil 5 is good enough for me.
Demuwan Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 No, i think resident evil 5 is good enough for me. It is never good enough:cry: gonna have to buy a bloody XBOX 360 now:cry: *my wallet cries* :cry:
BeerMonkey Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 if this is true im gettin a 360 (was gunna get one anyway but not missing out on resi)

Owen Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 No, i think resident evil 5 is good enough for me. Agreed. Not too bothered if Wii gets a Resi or not. Of course it will be good if it did, but if Resident Evil 5 is better then 4, i don't need a Wii version for now! EDIT: Has a Wii Resi been announced? lol. OK...well thats good news for the Wii! Lets hope it's like Resident Evil 4 and not like survivor.
Tellyn Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I think there will be one, Capcom like Nintendo, and they made Minish Cap which is a great Zelda game.
immy Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Never heard of that website before, maybe a fake interview?
mcj metroid Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 no please no!............i need resident evil.Without it there is no life!
Calibur Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Ya I don't think Capcom would do that to Nintendo after the success of RE4.
Zombie_Fan Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Don't worry guys I think Capcom will bring Resident Evil to the Wii. We might just have to wait.
BeerMonkey Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 its it ONE third party game im not missing out on its a resident evil game...even *dreads* was a PS3 excluive id have to get just for that game i love res evil that much
Goron_3 Posted August 23, 2006 Author Posted August 23, 2006 Well I'm guessing we're just going to have to wait until the 14th Sept, and hope that Nintendo show it there
elitemario Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Well... im probably going to buy a PS3 sometime next year, to play games like Resident Evil 5, GTA 4, Metal Gear and Fifa 07... but a Resident Evil 4 style game with intuitive Wii controls might just be better than a high-res-fantastic-grafix-ps3/xbox360-game!!! But since I'm as big as a Nintendofan one can be (er, that didn't come out right ) I just love Nintendo exclusive titles! Anyway, Resident Evil is great, offcause, but I'm mostly into the more Nintedoish style games please make Pilot Wings Wii... hehe
DiemetriX Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Well... im probably going to buy a PS3 sometime next year, to play games like Resident Evil 5, GTA 4, Metal Gear and Fifa 07. Why don't you just buy a 360 ? Metal Gear probably won't come out until 2008

Anyway, Resident Evil is great, offcause, but I'm mostly into the more Nintedoish style games please make Pilot Wings Wii... hehe you're going to buy a ps3 for FIFA!........FIFA!? Of all games FIFA!? U can even play that on an n gage!....ok bot the new one but still.I am a believer that mgs4 will eventually come out on 360 though
system_error Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Well Capcom could cancel Resident Evil Wii but they need money - a lot of money. So I doubt they would just skip a huge seller for the Wii just for unknown reasons. As long as they use the RE 4 engine and don't turn it into a mindless arcade shooter I am more than happy.
Zell Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Oh well, re5 will never be as good as re4 anyway, so any next gen resi is gonna be a disappointment for me.
Nick Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Well... im probably going to buy a PS3 sometime next year, to play games like Resident Evil 5, GTA 4, Metal Gear and Fifa 07... ... Fifa 07? You'll be waiting a long time then. 07 isn't coming to the wiz bang PS3. Not so much a loss. But the PS3 is that little bit less wiz bang.
elitemario Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Well... Ok, maybe Fifa07 isn't the game that makes my day I will probably buy the PS3 instead of the xbox360 becuase of the bluray player, linux support (to make that ps3 a HD media-center-device) 1080p, and, let face it, a slightly better performance... But Hi, I might not get either! I had a xbox360 (for a day) but returned because it was so noisy and made a ching-ching-sound when choken, maybe it had a lose screw Anyway, im not going to get a second consol (Wii will ofcause be my number one) till sometime next year, or maybe not untill 2008 (it depends on wether or not I'm going to study abord, in Japan or the US)... alot of things will be different by then, so... Maybe I'll go for the Wii60 setup... nothing is for sure!
system_error Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Resident Evil Wii will be developed by Capcom but I think they concentrate first on other games for the Wii. RE5 is scheduled for early 2008 if I remember correct - now take the RE4 engine for the Gamecube and improve it a little bit and take 2 years to make another great game and you have Resident Evil Wii. It will just take time that is all. Yeah PES and Fifa07 are timed exclusives ... for this year. 01.01.07 and EA can sell Fifa07 on the PS3 or the Wii. MS keynote was not quite clear - a press release now shows that it only says "... exclusive for this year". So PES fans in US/EU have to wait until early 2007 to get it for the PS3 - and japanese fans simply wait a few months to get the new Winning Eleven.

So PES fans in US/EU have to wait until early 2007 to get it for the PS3 - and japanese fans simply wait a few months to get the new Winning Eleven. Everything I've read, including quotes from a Microsoft spokesperson, say the exclusivity lasts 12 months. So according to that the PS3 will not have Fifa 07 or Pro Evo 6 until at least this time next year.
