Capcom gives Wii another light-gun game; Capcom can shove it
Novakaine | 9:31 PM on 03.11.2009 11 comments


Apparently Capcom's in the same line of thinking as EA, because in the past week a Capcom representative said Wii owners coveting more Resident Evil would be "very happy" with an upcoming announcement.

The announcement: another light-gun game.

Fuck you, Capcom. They started off the Wii's lifespan with such amazing promise--Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, Zack & Wiki, Umbrella Chronicles, Monster Hunter Tri, and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. In the time since then, they've hinted MH3 won't even be exclusive to Wii; TvC (despite their claims of trying to bring it over) is currently looking like it won't come out in the US; and in the time since these announcements all Capcom has done for Wii is lazily port REMake and RE0 to Wii, stillbirth Dead Rising: Chop 'Till You Drop, and now, they announce yet another sloppy light-gun game on a Wii market already shat upon with light-gun spinoff scraps.

Gee, it's almost as if they want the Wii to fail. /sarcasm

I think lightgun games to the wii is a given element. Especially considering you dont even have to buy an actual gun. I do agree that the genre is turnign into an overkill on the console but if the companies actually makes an effort out of it (like house of the dead overkill which turned out pretty okay) I don't see the problem.

I'd rather see that than more cheaply made flash-games.

Hey hey hey! I think we should at least get more info about a game before we start calling it sloppy! Who knows? It can turn out to be awesome like Overkill.

You know, if the game improves upon Umbrella Chronicles than it could be a worthy purchase or even a rental at worst. You should chill out and see what happens, as we don't really know much about the game.

Don't hate on Capcom, they've been one of the most consistent publishers this generation across all platforms. They are simply trying to support each console the way they feel is best. Personally I don't care what they do on the Wii. Sure, I'd be happier with a real RE game, but I've already got that tomorrow night for the 360/PS3.

They obviously feel that big-budget action games don't belong on the Wii, and I can't say I blame them really.

Surprise! You don't have to buy it! If you wanted a real RE game you should buy a real RE game. Plain and simple.

@ Hank

If you look at his Bio, you would notice he doesn't have a system in which to buy a real RE game(as you put it), as RE5 is for the 360 and PS3.

Personally, I disliked Umbrella Chronicles, its a very slow paced lightgun shooter and I just don't like that, I like my lightugn games to be silly, fast and over the top.

I know, the wii is just OVERFLOWING with lightgun style games. all 5 of them! THIS IS AN ABOMINATION UNTO THE LORD!

seriously, it is a lightgun style game on a console that accurately reproduces the arcade experience. so if some other company made a lightgun game for wii would you still be whining like a baby right now?

I WANT MORE LIGHTGUN GAMES!!

Seriously, all I have for lightgun right now is Overkill and Ghost Squad until I can get another CRT TV and get Time Crisis 3 on again.

The quality with Wii lightgun games is very good too, looking forward to Dead Space Extraction.

You praise Umbrella Chronicles, and then slam a sequel to it?

Anyone else see the irony here?

I think people are seriously overreacting to this news. Umbrella Chronicles was a GOOD GAME. A game that could possibly improve on it's formula should be looked at as an EQUALLY GOOD THING. Why is this so hard for people?


And Horsea Vs. Capcom is a liscencing nightmare. Anyone actually expecting it to come out legally anywhere that is not Japan is living in crazyland and needs to jump back to reality for a second.
