Resident Evil 5 for Wii ?

There's a lot of speculation about Resident Evil 5 coming to the Wii but no one really knows
here is a statement made by Simon Jeffery

When we talked to SEGA of America president Simon Jeffery at E3 last week, he showered us with knowledge and know-how. He also threw in a quick mention of a game we hadn't heard anything about — officially, that is — Resident Evil 5 for the Wii. To say that we were surprised to hear it mentioned would be an understatement, despite our non-reaction if front of Mr. Jeffery.

We followed up with a couple folks about the on camera slip of the tongue, starting with Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime.

Discussing our Executive Pop Quiz, in which we asked Nintendo Corporate Affairs VP Denise Kaigler if Resident Evil 5 was getting a Wii version, Mr. Fils-Aime fired back with a "Not yet!" and a laugh that left us more confused than when we started the question.

Talking to Capcom's Chris Kramer outside the publisher's E3 meeting room, he seemed genuinely surprised to hear of such a product. We told him that we already knew about the existence of Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop and he suggested that Mr. Jeffery was simply confusing the two products.

As far as a Wii port of the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 title, Kramer asked of us "Have you seen Resident Evil 5?" implying that such a port would be almost impossible, adding that he'd not heard any such product was in the works for Nintendo's platform.

Finally, we followed up with Mr. Jeffery himself who said the mention of Resident Evil 5 for the Wii was just a "simple slip of the tongue."

"We’d been discussing the Res Evil 5 showing at the Microsoft event earlier, and it was still on my brain – that’s all," he wrote in an e-mail.

After the surprise announcement that Dead Rising was making the transition to the Wii — as Resident Evil 4 did, very successfully — we wouldn't discount anything at this point. Capcom seems to love all platforms equally. Resident Evil 5 for Wii has been officially denied, albeit in roundabout ways, so we won't cancel our pre-orders for the superior Wii version just yet.

But who knows what the future holds?

PC!No Wii.
That's what I think that's gonna happen

well have to remember MODS are for pc
with mods we can make different characters or just skins to make game look better

critically thinking about that, i don't think an RE5 port to the Wii is NOT a good idea. i've played RE4 on the GC and PS2 but i haven't playing RE4 on the Wii. my personal opinions for the RE4 port for the Wii is just about nerfing the aiming system with the Wii controller. by looking at RE5 and it's awesomeness, the PS3 and 360 has engines that makes RE5 look amazing. if it was ported to the Wii, it may have nerfed that and we do not want that. i have a Wii myself and i love it but i cannot imagine playing RE5 with it. personally, i don't think its right in my opinion. i agree with Down and the others who voted for a PC version b/c of the mods and skins. generally, what im saying is, i vote a "No" for a Wii version.

i don't think the mods/skins will make it "better". just funner in my opinion

just go with the PC...so much better

While I'll be getting it for the PS3 either way, PC, Wii version would get too many 'it's so much easier' bull shit...

agreed

it doesnt matter which new platform it would be, cuz the game rocks

i'll have to disagree with you on that. i think it should stay the way it is now

PC of course... But its should be like 10x times better than re4, since they fucked it up good

i want to come out on the wii

I really wanted it to be on wii, because RE4 made such a great transition to the wii, the controls were alot more fun than any of the others, but I wasn't sure about the graphics. Now that I have a 360, I don't really mind it as much, but it would be nice if they did.
