Capcom thinks Resident Evil 5 is “possible” on Wii

When resident Evil 5 was first announced Capcom felt that the Wii was completely incapable of reproducing Resident Evil 5, but it seems like they have turned their statement around. Matt Dahlgren, product manager of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles said…

At Resident Evil 5’s launch it was announced that a Wii version was not technically possible. But after some of the work that Cavia has done (with Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles), the producers of Resident Evil 5 over in Japan now think it is possible. Some of the light effects in the South America stage are pretty incredible. Whether it is going to come, I don’t know the answer to that question. But, it has been said that now at least it is possible

So anyone who is stuck with just a Wii may be able to get their hands on Resident Evil 5 one day. It would probably be very similar to the demo we saw of Resident Evil 5 using PlayStation 3’s motion controller. Just cut back the graphics and wala! A Wii version! Hopefully without less zombies as we all saw how wonderful that worked out in Dead Rising: Chop til You Drop.
