Resident Evil 5 on Wii a possibility, albeit slight
Seeing as Resident Evil 4 was originally a GameCube exclusive, fans can only wonder why Resident Evil 5 still hasn’t been released for Nintendo’s successor console. Graphical limitations aside, the gameplay formula would still work great, pointing to Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition as proof. Speaking to games™ magazine, Capcom Chief Producer Masachika Kawata was asked whether the popular survival horror game would be released for 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” Kawata explained. “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.”
With that said, Kawata also mentioned that he was impressed by Cavia’s work on Darkside Chronicles, and said that Resident Evil 5 could be a possibility after all. Even though the game might not look as pretty as it does on the 360 or PS3, it would be interesting to see how the game would play out on the Wii.
