Resident Evil 5 on Wii ‘isn’t likely,’ still ‘possible’

It’s probably best to read that headline in the purest technical sense. At a recent promotional event, Capcom Chief Producer Masachika Kawata was asked by games[TM] magazine about the possibility of a Wii version of Capcom’s fantabulously successful Resident Evil 5 . Kawata responded that while the Resident Evil 4 engine would work “perfectly” to recreate the gameplay of Resident Evil 5 , the graphical quality of the PS3 and 360 versions couldn’t be matched. To that, we say, “duh.” He elaborated that a rail shooter like Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles “makes much more sense on Wii,” adding that a port of Resident Evil 5 “isn’t likely to happen.” That said, Kawata noted that Capcom has been “surprised” by the graphical prowess of Cavia, the studio behind Darkside Chronicles , adding that “it may actually be possible after all….” And that, Wii gamers, is that: It’s possible . Of course, we all already knew that, but it’s nice to hear it coming from Capcom

2 million people pre-ordered Dragon Quest IX

Square Enix is set to unload Dragon Quest IX onto the Japanese populace this week and it’s apparently a big deal over there. A report (via Inside Games ) shows the title has over two million pre-orders across various retailers in the country. It just blows our minds, because Japan has never been that fond of the Dragon Quest franchise. So, for those of you keeping score on your Craz-o-meters, this is basically Gary Busey-level stuff we’re talking about here. It’s like running around in the street with no pants on, screaming that you’re the person responsible for velcro technology and the Aurora Borealis.

RE5 producer: Mature games will sell on Wii , but need an ‘X-Factor’ (hint: it’s ‘Resident Evil’)

Mature games can sell well on Wii; just ask Resident Evil 5 (and RE: The Darkside Chronicles ) producer, Masachika Kawata. Speaking to VideoGamer.com , he acknowledged that it’s not easy for adult-oriented titles to break out on the system, but says it’s still possible given hard work and an “X-Factor.” One of the roadblocks mature games face on Wii is perception, Kawta said. “People get this perception that on Nintendo Wii all there is are cutesy games. However, when you actually try to develop a game on Wii it costs you money, it’s time consuming and it’s not the easiest console to deal with.” So, real games (i.e. ones that aren’t cute) are hard to — wait, did he just say “cutesy” games aren’t games
