Capcom no longer down with hardcore Wii titles
A few days ago we learned that Sega wasn’t exactly the biggest fan of hardcore mature rated Wii titles and now it seems another studio is backing out of the game: Capcom. Why? Poor game sales.
Not too long ago Capcom was one of the premiere supports of hardcore Wii titles with games such as Resident Evil but according to Capcom exec Antoine Seux, that is no longer the case:
“Development on Wii [is] very difficult, with an oversupply [of games] and a gamer market that has radically changed. [Hardcore games] are selling less and less on the console, [be it] MadWorld or Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop or House of the Dead: Overkill. Two years ago, there were still [hardcore] gamers on Wii, [but these have been] diverted from this console in favor of the new generation. The Wii console is very much a family commitment [and] rates relatively low. So for us, Capcom, the future is the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.”
So what does the future of the Wii hold? A bunch of mini game based titles? Let’s hope not.
