News: Resi 5 On Wii?

Capcom consider more Wii ports...

When Capcom added IR functionality and waggle to Resident Evil 4 we were as shocked as anyone by the freshness of the title and judging by sales figures of over 1 million, we weren't alone in our thoughts. It was a shame then that we had to revert to a whole new console and an altogether inferior control setup to play Resident Evil 5. Just for shinier graphics. *Grumble*

We can dream, right?

Having said nothing when Capcom told us that even the title screen of Resident Evil 5 wasn't possible on Wii, we are now grinning like Cheshire cats at the following news...

When asked about the possiblity of a Wii version of Resident Evil 5, Capcom's Chief Financial Officer Kazuhiko Abe replied:

"We have not decided whether we are doing it or not doing it...up until now, after releasing our PS3 and Xbox 360 games, we have brought them to Wii. Basically, this is the approach we are considering taking."

OK, so it's hardly confirmation that the title will come to Wii but when a company doesn't give a big fat 'NO' and starts talking about existing ports, we're inclined to think that this is one small step for Wiikind and one giant leap for Capcom.

Would you embrace Resi 5 or shun the African setting? Feeeeed us your comments below!
