Mass Effect 2 Secrets Revealed
10 hours 45 mins ago
While the possibility of Resident Evil 5 coming to the Wii has been officially denied by the people of Capcom, a recent press conference hints that the dream may actually become reality.
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.
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.

If it does happen. They could decrease the graphic quality like they're doing with Dead Rising and it'd be a cinch.
I don't see why the Wii keeps getting these crappy downgraded ports anyways (okay, it's because of money). Just make a new RE game from scratch so that Wii owners can get a good third-party game for once, and not some rehashed edited version of a game from another console.
RE 5 on the Wii? Not really that interested although I'd have to check out what unique functionality they would integrate.
