Capcom on more Resident Evil for Wii
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
“You all know we’ve not announced any new REs for Wii (or any other platforms for that matter). Alas, I’m not going to be able to share our roadmap here. Sorry guys, his [Resident Evil 5 producer] comments are going to stand as they are and I’m not able to elaborate on them.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development
This quote was in reference to Resident Evil 5 producer Juntake Uchi, when it was noted that it will be “a couple of years” before the Wii sees a new Resident Evil game. A couple of years is a long time away, though Capcom probably has its hands full with Resident Evil 5. It will be interesting to see what direction the series takes after that game releases, and how a new Resident Evil title for the Wii would turn out.

“Specific plans will be unveiled by our local subsidiaries, but in autumn or year-end launch would probably be too late.” – Satoru Iwata
Reggie said North America wouldn’t see the DSi until at least April 2009 and Iwata believes that the system shouldn’t be launched in autumn. Summer starts in June, so perhaps the DSi will be released in May next year. Definitely much later than our friends in Japan, but at least it won’t be arriving in December next year!
