Dead Rising Headed to the Wii

Akira_EX | July 16, 2008 | News | Wii

In the latest issue of Japanese weekly magazine Famitsu, it was revealed that Capcom will be porting the Xbox 360 zombie survival horror Dead Rising to a Wii console near you.

The game will try to be as close to the 360 source as it can, and will feature extra content such as a new boss and changes to the weapons, along with other things not mentioned. Difficulty will be made easier, and camera and controls will be modified apparently to be more like Resident Evil 4.

I beat this game over 10 times on the 360 and was my favorite game for about 2 years. I will most certainly be getting this title.

Unbelievable. The only piece of news I saw about that was the creator of DR working on a new project but not much else. Waiting to see how it works and what kind of new features it could have.

As long as they don't "dumb it down" for the Wii, I'll be happy.

  Unless the Wii can literally run more than 100 zombies in one screen, I do think there will need to be some compromise. Anybody that played Dead Rising will tell you that the body count is very important.

    Yeah, I'm not sure how much power it took from the 360 to run them. I'm sure numbers has to do with processing power. 360 has a lot of extra power over the Wii in that department.
    
    It should be interesting how they handle it.

Hmm seems a strange move, I figured it was a certainty to port to PS3. Not that I'd get the game anyway

Yes. I have been waiting for this to come on Wii since it was made. I hope they don't take too long making it for Wii.
