The "original style" Resident Evil franchise is done better elsewhere.
The Wii cannot compete in graphics, controls, sound, or AI
That means if given the choice everyone who has more then a Wii will pick up the software somewhere else
The Wii needs to be used to it's strengths and make a product that cannot re replicated anywhere else. The Chronicles games do that

You assume too much, therefor you are wrong there.Yeah, interesting story, sit down will you?
It's a fable called "How games sell better elsewhere"
Once upon a time there was a man called John Madden, he liked football so much he made a game about it. They made the game for many many years and all the boys and girls shouted with glee when it launched. Then when it was launched in 2006 something very peculiar happened, on the Wii it only sold slightly over 470k copies while on the other consoles it sold over 2.3 million.
Well someone thought there might be some mistake. I mean did everyone know Madden was on all three consoles? So they advertised more and the Wii's userbase grew and that launch week a miracle happened. Madden in 2007 sold over 800k and everyone cheered, that is until they saw that the other consoles had sold over 3.3 million
The next year Madden decided that along with watered down graphics, sounds, and AI it would also give the Wii version a few special features and sadly, it only sold slightly over 700k while elsewhere it sold over 3.7 million
The great thing about this story is that it's a Mad Libs story
Replace Madden with anything
Wii's Rock Band 2 = Not even half a million
Rock Band 2 elsewhere = Over 2 million
Need for Speed Carbon = Not even half a million
Need for Speed Elsewhere = Over 2 million
Even so so games
Spider Man WOS = 130k
Spider Man WOS elsewhere = over 400k
So I will repeat what I said...
If given the choice users will pick up the software somewhere else
Not trying to intrude on you guys debate or anything, but you do realise that most of those games had built a strong fanbase before the Wii versions came out in whatever years they came out in right? Especially Madden. Take Madden for example, Madden had a major following back in the day but once Playstation got a hold of it, it became a "If you didn't have it on Playstation, you were'nt playing it on the right system" game, thus the reason for the lesser Wii sales, because if people would've been playing it on the Wii and it built up a fanbase on it like the Playstation had before Playstation came out, then they released a Playstation version, the sales would be reversed. Same goes for most of the other titles that were mentioned. I do see what you are saying about if users were given the choice to pick up the software elsewhere, but by saying that, you are speaking for ALL people that have multiple New systems and by that logic, you are wrong because I would prefer to pick it up on the Wii. My choice and I'm entitled to it. I have nothing else to say on this matter.
Anyway, on topic, I personally enjoy the CLa$$ic Resident Evil $tyle gameplay of Resident Evil 1, 2 & unfortunately 3 (While UC was fun - Resident Evil: Dead Aim was not, so I do see what Jaysonguy is saying about the Wii being strong in those areas) the best.
