It depends on how watered down and what they took out in the process. Graphics of course would be watered down, BUT that's still no excuse to make the game look like a piece of crap. There have been nice looking Wii games and even a watered down one should still look fine. Gameplay shouldn't be too different. Maybe cause of the controls the game might be a little easier or harder, but not too much. Online should work moderately good and should have all or almost all of the modes that are on their HD counterparts.

Yeah, Street Fighter 4 would be nice on the Wii. They could use a modified version of whatever engine they used on Tasunoko vs Capcom, which was a very good looking game.

Some types of games. Like first person shooters, hell yeah. And Resident Evil 5 would be sweet. I'm playing the demo on my 360 but it just doesn't feel as quick as resident evil 4. the motion controls with the wii were perfect for that type of game. But as for most other games don't bother. I think wii should stay away from water down version of most major titles. Like GTA, Starwars Force Unleashed, ect... Try bringing back side scrolling games a little more. Like Viewtiful Joe, Castle Crashers, Sonic. You can still make a very beautiful, fun, deep game on the wii if you changed your artistic approach to more of a cartoon like feel.

I would personally much rather prefer it if a game was made from the ground-up with the Wii system in mind. That's not to say that a developer couldn't intergrate some things from previous games, but it would be more comforting if the game didn't try to provide the exact same experience on the Wii system. At this point in time, anything "Watered-Down" is considered a turn-off from my perspective.

Well, I really prefer the Wii version of RE4 over the others, so I guess I'll go with RE5.

Because for some games, like the aforementioned Street Fighter 4, the basics of the gameplay works on any console, regardless of TEH GRAFX. You could port Street Fighter 4 to the Sega Saturn and it would still be fairly playable.

Every 360 and PS3 game can run on wii in some form it's just gamers dont even think it can run a PS2 quality game and allow developers to get away with crap, falling for their hype about Blu Ray and HD resolutions offering quality gameplay. Take Call of Duty World at War lacking many online options, how tacky was what! The problem is that the Wii version is made back to back with HD versions and always suffers because of it.

Still, I do like the look of Dead Rising Chop Til You Drop, the team merely ported RE4 to wii and made Umbrella chronicles reusing many assets from PS2 and Gamecube Resis, it wont be a visual stunner but the latest vids on the japanese site point to a very playable game.

I would buy watered down versions. Not like I'm going to be playing the "HD"(SD for me anyways) counterparts anyway. Besides I always found water down versions kind of interesting, Though I expect a lot of negativity from other users.

well the price for 360s already dropped not long ago so, might as well buy a 360 anyway... Although street fighter IV on wii would still be awesome even if watered down.

Because there are games that have different impact when played on the Wii, and luckily it plays even better even if it doesnt look like more realistic but much fun to play like RE4 and Bully etc.

Depends on the game really. If it plays somehow better than yes, I'd rather have better gameplay with the watered down graphics. If it played the same or worse than the other versions of the game, while not looking as good, then there's no point in getting the watered down version, but I really don't care for graphics much at all, though there's no denying that's what people want the most out of video games these days.

depends as most people have said like the "watered-down" version of cod5 on wii was freakin immense and almost exactly the same except with better controls so if done like that then yes, definately i would love for resi 5 wii edition (especially instead of dead rising wii) but if done like alone in the dark, then no, i would not like it

No because the games were made for those other systems if I want to play them I would play them on the console they were designed for not a watered down version.

Yes I would buy the games as long as the gameplay is intact and I can distinguish between a tree and a dog.

Yeah, just put together the same characters of always with sprites graphics and there you go.

I have played the RE5 demo on PS3. Pretty intense. Though I couldn't stop thinking about how it would have been so much better using the RE4 Wiimote controls. I would take a less pretty version of RE5 just for that. I mean, RE4 looks good still. With a more powerful CPU, GPU, and more RAM in the Wii, Capcom can just use a advanced version of the RE4 engine to make a good port. You know they can.

I'd take a Wii version of Bioshock, RE5, or SFIV any day of the week.

Though I'd really like an HD Mario game.

But you do realize that the graphics would not be the only thing "watered down" in the game, the overall scale of the game would have to be smaller too. Look at the Dead Rising game for the Wii, you only get 4 or 5 zombies on the screen at one time and the huge number on the screen at the same time was one of the selling points for the 360 version. Take a look at Gears of War 2 when you have 70-80 (or more) locust on the screen at one time, the Wii would not have the power to do that so the game would be even more watered down than the original. If the Wii just had a worse GPU then it could be done, but since the Wii is using an ancient processor the games just wouldn't be the same.

SF4 with smooth animated sprites would be quite awesome.

people are suggesting buying the "real thing" which means buying a $200+ console AND said $50+ games - unless you like buying games for other systems for no reason. :P

I'm fully willing to buy a more expensive console to get the full experience the developer intended and not be cheap and buy the watered down version. In fact I already did, that's why I bought a 360.

I would not buy it unless if it is a special case such as Resident Evil 5. I'd rather have better controls and a little less content.

No. I wouldn't. Last year I noticed this was already happening and went and got a secondary console. It is worth the investment IMO. Sure for one game you would probably be crazy, but after you play 10 or so 'wanna-bes' you will realize it was better to just go get another console. It isn't feasible for everyone to do, I am aware, but that is what the 3rd job is for in such situations.

I'm on the same boat as you, however, if the gameplay and basic visuals were intact in a watered down version, I would not mind going with the low end deal. I was honestly contemplating whether or not I should get a 360. I decided not to since the investment would not be worth it in my case - I only want to play RE5, finish the campaign on Gears, play a few other gems, and maybe play Halo. That's it though. Not worth the money since I'd also have to factor in controllers, online service, headsets, etc. I could buy it, but I'd rather not, playing a watered down version would not ruin the experience for me.

Nope, I'd just buy the pc version (if that was availible that is). If there was no pc port, then I might consider it if its a game I really want to try, for example Final Fantasy 13 is not coming to the pc but if it were coming to the wii, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Yes, but watered down on graphics and sound only; not game content. I think levels and such would have to disappear too, and that's not worth it to me.

i'd rather buy the better version (360/PS3 version). Example Dead Rising is leaps and bound better on 360 then on Wii. The Wii version basically stripped the game to nothing.
