Hope for Resident Evil 5 Wii?
July 9th, 2009 Posted in News, Posted by Austin, WiiEver since it’s launch – nay, since its announcement – rumors have been circulating about a Resident Evil 5 port to Wii, but when Capcom stated that not even the title screen would be possible on Nintendo’s little white system, hopes were all but dashed. In a recent interview, however, Re5 Producer Masachika Kawata has given just a little more insight on the Resident Evil Wii situation, and shed a bit of light on the state of the unlikely game.
“Hypothetically speaking, the Resident Evil 4 engine would work perfectly for replicating the gameplay but we would never be able to recreate the graphical quality. A gun shooting game like Darkside Chronicles makes much more sense for Wii so, in short, Resident Evil 5 Wii Edition isn’t likely to happen. Having said that, Cavia has surprised us with the quality of graphics in Darkside Chronicles, so it may actually be possible after all…”

Just port the game already using the upgraded RE4 engine and whoever wants it buy it, whoever is just focused on the Hd graphics, don’t buy it, very simple here, why this is a lingering issue is ming boggling, just port the game and port SF4 as well !!!
