Resident Evil 5 Wii IS Possible

In an article we posted last week, we showed that there are plenty of companies overlooking the Wii, mainly for graphics-related issues. Capcom was one of the companies mentioned, when they, at Resident Evil 5's launch, claimed the Wii couldn't handle even the loading screen of the game. Well so much for that.

During a Q&A session for the upcoming Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, Capcom's product manager Matt Dahlgren admitted Capcom may have been too hasty when claiming Resident Evil 5 couldn't make it onto the Wii.

Dahlgren says, "After some of the work that Cavia (the developer) has done (with RE: Darkside Chronicles), the producers of Resident Evil 5 over in Japan now think it is possible." Dahlgren explains that it was because "some of the light effects in the South America stage are pretty incredible," that the Japanese producers were able to see that the Wii might be able to produce a better looking game than initially thought.

Now before Resident Evil fans get their hopes up, this is by no means any sort of announcement, and Dahlgren made sure not to start any rumors when he said, "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.”

Regardless of whether or not Resident Evil 5 will find its way onto the Wii, Capcom is certainly going to give the Wii an even more serious look than they have in the past.
