It WILL happen. Wii doesn't get RE5, but it does get Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles. You're little behind on the times there, buddy.

Graphically the wii can't handle a port from 360/PS3. So they are making a ground up/remake title taking full advantage of wiimote controls. Its tentatively called Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, WE have no info on this otehr than its supposed to be the events after UC breaks apart.. i think.. try wikipedia'ing it to see.

Honestly I'm glad RE5 won't be for Wii. The Wii's controls suck for shooters and similar games.  I'd much rather play a game like that on the 360 or PS3.   To me the Wii is great for those quirky party games, and some sports games, but man I hate playing shooters on the Wii...

One time they said they wanted it in High Def then they simply said Wii couldn`t handle several other things. But after seeing how they butchered Resi 4 to work on the PS2 I`m surprised they care so much. Although Umbrella Chronicles is coming to Wii, if its any good has yet to be seen. But I`ll have a 360 for RE5 anyway, its must have for any fan or anyone that loved RE4.

Yeah, graphical department as well as what they are limited to do in game with the limited hardware compared to the very close 360 and Wii. But I think it might also have to do with the PS3 and 360 having totally traditional controllers and the Wii having a crazy new controller. Plus I dont think that the new controller would be that great for RE5 considering it has been built from the ground up for the 360 and PS3 for the most part. And online. Nintendo still doesnt even have a strong online plan where as Microsofts XBL is rock solid and PS3 Network is starting to look better. And me personally, having all the consoles, I would prolly get the game for my 360 first and second would easily go to the PS3 and third would be the Wii.

How many shooters have you played on the Wii might I ask? Also if they felt like it they could use the GC or Classic controller if they could find a working scheme with the wiimote. Also the game is not a remake, as it is new content kind of a side story you can say but not a remake. P.S-dont trust Wikpedia for release dates.

There are only what.... 3 released yet?
Give it some time. Pretty soon they are going to have one that will kick everyones ass. Using the Wii-mote can give a shooter such a great experience. It's just that the games released thus far haven't set a good example. It will come.

I think you might be dead right on this one... I'm not looking forward to the Wii RE that much, actually. It doesn't sound very good. I'd be hyped for a RE5 for the Wii. Wouldn't be as graphically amazing as the other versions, but the controls would rule. I'd much rather get RE5.

Either way its all good :) I`d like to see something that combines traditional gameplay with the new approach, like RE4 was originally meant to do.

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles is coming to the Wii. It's better than nothing. It would be nice to see RE5 on the Wii though. Silent Hill 5 would be cool too.

How does umbrella chronicles not sound very good? when we know nothing about it except for when in the timeline it is set

Does anyone have any clue on what's coming for Umbrella Chronicles?  I think we should start somewhat of a petition to get RE5 on Wii.  We have nothing to lose.

The Wii should not have any multiplatform ports whatsoever.  Look at all the ports on the system. They all suck.

Only the Wii exclusive games are good, and only ever will be good for this system.

Wii is getting Umbrella Chronicles anyway, and Xbox 360 and PS3 aren't getting that.

Wii shooter controls arnt too great yet, but in time they will be. Red Steel especially, but Far Cry as well, at some points had a glimmer of hope for what the controls could be. Its too bad those games were rushed and too damn buggy/horibble to look at.

As for RE5, i hate to say it, but the wii cant handle the graphics, no way. But wi will get RE:UC for our zombie killing pleasure.

Except RE5 is going to control similar to RE4 and probably be paced the same way as well.  SO really, controlling RE5 or Umbrella chronicles won't be any different than controlling Link in Twilight Princess.  It should be no problem running around, doding enemies while controlling your bow (or gun in the case of RE) with the wiimote. 

I mean, think about RE4.  How difficult would that exact same game been to shoot with the wiimote instead of a joystick?  Frankly, I think it would have been easier.  RE is not a FPSer.  There is no reason the Wii shouldn't controller better (in my opinion) than the 360 or PS3 version.

The only reason Capcom isn't putting RE5 on the Wii is because the difference in graphics.  But since Capcom ports every RE game EVER...I am confident RE5 wills how up on the Wii eventually.  It will just take more time for them to redo the graphics.

The PS3 and XBOX360 got a HD version of Sonic, while the Wii got an exclusive built from the ground up Sonic game.  The Wii game turned out way better.  The same thing could happen for Resident Evil.  I don't know why everyone seems so worried anyway.  We barely know anything about either game to decide which ones better..As long as Capcom gives us a good game, with a well thought out control scheme thats all I care about.

which to me, already makes it not sound as good as an all new RE game.
