Ever 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.
