Capcom sure does love teasing Wii owners. First with Street Fighter 4, and now with Resident Evil 5.
Producer Masachika Kawata told NowGamer Resident Evil 5 could be done on the Wii, with the only exception being the obvious graphical downgrade.
"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," said Kawata. "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."
But Kawata just couldn't stop there; he had to leave us all with a cliffhanger.
"Having said that," he said. "Cavia [the developer] has surprised us with the quality of graphics in Darkside Chronicles, so it may actually be possible after all…"
Oh, Capcom. We love your games. We really, really do. But please, stop teasing us.
