Since Capcom officially unveiled Dead Rising: Chop ‘Til You Drop, we have been patiently wondering what exactly the title could do. The last press release we got our hands on said that “Hoards of enemies on screen at once” would assault our senses and make our Wii remote hands tremble. How many is a hoard? According to WiisWorld and their issue of Nintendo Power, a hoard could possibly be 100 zombies. At least, that’s what Capcom said they are aiming to do.
I won’t go on a tangent dismissing the Wii’s graphical prowess, but something tells me that if Capcom succeeded in such a valiant task, those zombies would look mighty pixilated. But who knows, Mario Party 47 was able to fit up to four characters on the screen at once, so the options are limitless.
With Capcom on the case for 100 zombies, I’m only left to care about how many lawnmowers will be available. Ideally, there should be more than one.

DO HO HO
I salute Capcom for even trying, and double for the fact they seem to want to give the Wii a respectable port. I don't understand why developers seem to think Wii owners are okay with receiving half-assed, stripped down ports (see: Rock Band) at the same price tag (or perhaps ever so slightly less) as their 360 and PS3 brethren.
I was just thinking the same thing. I love how we weren't going to go on tangents knocking the Wii for not being as graphically strong as the other consoles, yet that's what everyone just did anyway.
Seriously Capcom...WTF.
Thats what I see for the future of this game.
I still want a Wii, they need to maybe... but some in stores?
Highly skeptical of claims.
WITNESS, THE, POWAHHHHHHH
I was really hoping for a ps3 upgrade of this game... why the wii?
Problem is... 10 zombies doesnt make it much fun.
This is not to say that I think the Wii Dead Rising will be that great (I'm happy with my 360 copy), I just don't think 100 zombies onscreen at a time is that big a deal.
I wonder how well the wii will go with the maintenance tunnels...
anyway, heres to hundreds of zombie sprites! ^_^
Lol, yeah. Start playing the music from 'Enter the Dragon', and you may have a good idea for a movie scene...
