Resident Evil 5 producer Juntake Uchi already expressed sentiments that the Wii would not be able to even handle the title screen of the game, but another RE5 producer is offering his opinion on porting the game to the Wii. Jun Takeuchi noted, “Honestly speaking, we’re kind of pushing the 360 and PS3 to their limits right now, so it would probably be pretty difficult to create a Wii version of RE5.” This explanation isn’t surprising after Mr. Uchi’s comment about the title screen. It looks as though Wii owners will simply have to wait a few years for another Resident Evil experience.

Igarashi: Castlevania Judgment for DS “might be possible”

Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 2 Comments

Castlevania Judgment hasn’t been released just yet, but Koji Igarashi, head honcho on the game, is already willing to discuss a sequel. Igarashi said, “If this proves to be highly successful, a sequel is highly possible. It’ll be a shame to quit after just one try? A DS version might be possible, too.” A DS version could be interesting, no doubt, but the first game will need to sell well.

Igarashi also explored the idea of a 2D Wii/WiiWare Castlevania title, noting “I am very interested in the option. I truly hope that the 2D market will be revitalised. I need your support to do that.”
