It seems Capcom will be bringing Street Fighter and Resident Evil love to the Wii, but as game controllers.
Some of the Japanese giant's biggest projects seem to be skipping past the Wii, despite the console's dominance, but it seems that there is some love afterall. Capcom and peripheral legend Mad Catz Interactive Inc have signed a deal to bring branded controllers and accessories based on Street Fighter IV, Bionic Commando: Rearmed and Resident Evil 5 properties.
Players will be able to waggle with Ryu and press all of Chun-Li's buttons later this year.
Thanks to MyWii.

Capcom and peripheral legend Mad Catz Interactive Inc have signed a deal to bring branded controllers and accessories based on Street Fighter IV, Bionic Commando: Rearmed and Resident Evil 5 properties.
This is a real collaboration between Mad Catz and Capcom. We are developing a broad variety of game peripherals for a wide game-playing audience — from the casual to the most loyal, core fan. These innovative peripherals will maximize the overall experience that comes from playing Capcom games.

So they're bringing controllers to the Wii that have a theme based on games that aren't coming to the Wii? Does that make any sense at all?

True enough, can't ever forget about that.

I wonder if this has any significance though. We'll see.

Resident Evil 5 and Bionic Commando PC Announced

I really do not think they will be themed for SF4 and RE5. The Street Fighter one will have not SF4 branding and be themed for the 20th anniversary of SF I reckon. The other will be for a RE Wii game they have in development for Wii that they have not announced yet. The Bionic Commando one, for the originals release on Virtual Console.

Er...cheers Capcom.
This probably means versions of Street Fighter, RE and Bionic Commando are Wii-bound, then, otherwise it'd just be rubbing noses in it. Of those the only one that would currently make sense is a Resident Evil one.

I just can't see people buying theme controllers for games they don't own. That's like a Halo theme Dual Shock controller, it just sounds stupid
