Resident Evil not yet dead on Wii - Kawata
Despite the non-appearance of the now-finished Resident Evil 5 on Wii, waggle fans needn’t be too downhearted, claims Eurogamer.
A translated interview with Resi 5’s producer, Masachika Kawata, suggests he would like to work on a Resident Evil game for Wii, now he’s done with the new HD offering.
“Personally I would like to create something on Wii in the Resident Evil family. At the moment we don’t know and have just been working on RE5, so watch this space.”
Cause for optimism, certainly. Though let’s hope it’s more like Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition rather than Umbrella Chronicles. Decent though the latter is, I’d like a ‘proper’ Resi on Wii - and the console’s already oversubscribed for rail shooters, anyway.

I can’t help but wonder whether Capcom now think they might have put RE5 on the wrong platforms in terms of sales figures. Will be very interesting to see just how well RE5 is both reviewed and sells - it certainly has got a lot to live up to compared to RE4.
