Resident Evil 5 for Wii? Unlikely According to RE5 Producer
Published by Steve
Those of you who are waiting with anxiously for Capcom to finally announce that Resident Evil 5 will be maed available on the Wii will be very disappointed to hear that Resident Evil 5’s producer, Masachika Kawata, has himself stated that the Wii isn’t even capable of handling the RE5 intro screen. Apparently the graphics on show for the game’s intro screen are just too advanced for the Wii’s last-gen hardware.
It’s a real shame to be posting this, but some of you should hopefully find solace in the notion that whil the Wii may not be able to run Resident Evil 5 as it is, that doesn’t mean Capcom won’t later release a “watered-down” version at a later date.

Ewwwww…I don’t want a watered down ver of re5, it’s too good for that. I still wanna see what a watered down version would be like though, would be hilarious. HAHA!
wii its suck
the best console ever is the xbox 360 and play 3
wii is for the children..not for gamer
suckers!!!!
Despite having the poorest graphical capabilities on the current generation of consoles, Wii is quite possibly the best platform for the Resident Evil series, as evidenced by RE4: Wii Edition. Of course, RE4 did originally come out on last gen consoles, so Capcom would need to make that watered down version to see if that title still holds up in this gen.
Kinda disapointed… Expected at least semi-decent version of RE5 for Wii… Good thing I am not to excited to play RE in a desert without one bit of horror. Well maybe Wii gets something even better, you never know… I also think it isnt fair for non-rich players to be left out becuse we dont want to buy horribly overpriced PS3 (WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???) or X360 that usually brokes down after 3 hours of gameplay ( Red lights). Too bad… Well RE4 still seems better to me.
