Dead Rising for Wii is not a port, there are many changes
July 21st, 2008 Posted in News, Posted by Valay, WiiThere have been a few very well-done ports on the Wii, but a handful of them have made horrible transitions. Fortunately, no one will have to be concerned about Dead Rising for Wii being a port, as Christian Svensson has explained that the game is being reconstructed just for Wii owners.
“If you like RE4 Wii’s control scheme, you’re going to love this. I think it’s important to note: this isn’t a port. This is recreated from the ground up for the Wii. So while it borrows things like story and location, there are many changes from the 360 beyond the obvious graphical ones.” – Christian Svensson, Capcom’s Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

Looks ok but i think gameplay-wise the game will suck just like all third party games on the wii.

Wow, this story is getting some great comments.
This is good news. I hope they don’t just port it over. DR was a great game in need of a lot of fixes. Hopefully they take this opportunity to do so.

What are you people talking about it look like shit, GTA 3 looked better then this crap and that game is seven years old, do the Wii even have AA and AF? For a seven year old game I wouldnt pay 10 box for it.
