Capcom's Wii support forthcoming

chautemoc | June 11, 2008 | News | Wii 
Already having announced their support for WiiWare, Capcom looks to be packing their things and jumping on the actual Wii ship itself soon, according to Capcom forum admin "Lost."

Lost said in a recent forum post the company has more or less been waiting it out, and with the huge success of the system, the timing will be just about right soon to announce some titles. Mega Man and Street Fighter IV, please.
Honestly, I think the lack of AAA titles also has a lot to do with a lot of the 3rd parties simply being caught with their pants down. Triple A take a lot of time to develop; Many years in fact. For them to have been announced/released by now, it would have meant that they were in development/planning before/shortly after the Wii was released. However, nobody, besides Nintendo, expected the Wii sales to be so strong, and anyone who did should be buying lottery tickets.

However, the good news is, now that the industry has seen the rise of the Wii, I'm sure many plans and budgets have been shifted and adjusted, and triple A titles should be in their pipeline (though not ready to be announced). This means soon, you should be flooded with the titles from the franchises you're familiar with, and ones that aren't just spinoffs.

Have a little patience and faith in the little white console that could. I know I am.

    Capcom is one of the few third parties that has been actually supporting Wii in the past, I can't wait to see more original games from the company.
