Capcom has stated that until now visually it would be impossible for RE5 Wii, but after Darkside Chronicles it might just be.
Masachika Kawata, producer of the fifth mainline Resident Evil, spoke to British mag GamesTM recently - and was asked the now age-old question: Would Resident Evil 5 work on the Wii?
Hypothetically speaking, the Resident Evil 4 engine would work perfectly for replicating the gameplay but we would never be able to recreate the graphical quality. A gun shooting game like Darkside Chronicles makes much more sense for Wii so, in short, Resident Evil 5 Wii Edition isn't likely to happen. Having said that, Cavia has surprised us with the quality of graphics in Darkside Chronicles, so it may actually be possible after all...
Thanks to Kotaku.
Would you like to to see Resident Evil 5 for Wii? Or should Capcom get on with it and go for the 6th installment/side-story?
