Whilst many gamers are clamouring to play the latest instalment of the Resident Evil franchise on Wii, Capcom say that isn’t to be.
“I think, while Resident Evil 4 is a great game, its appeal was limited somewhat to maniac players,”
“With RE5, I wanted to bring the series to a larger audience. I think its important to do the same for the next RE.”
“With the difference between hardware specs for the Wii and the PS3, porting might be hard. We currently have no plans.”
- Resident Evil 5 and Lost Planet 2 producer Jun Takeuchi

Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles producer Masachika Kawata believes that his teams new title sets a new standard for in-game visuals on the Nintendo Wii.
“I think it’s perfectly possible to create great horror presentation on the Wii. In fact, unfortunately, we’re not able to show it off just yet, but very shortly we’re hoping to show off a stage from a new scenario and I think when fans get a look at that they will really be asking themselves, is this really on the Wii? Actually, we went to Nintendo’s offices earlier on this month to show them this new stage and they were really, really impressed by it and impressed by what we were able to get out of the Wii.”
