Capcom lists Dead Rising Chop Till You Drop for a February 24 release

Woo hoo. Standard-strecthed-out-shitty-resolution-definition version FTW.

@D-Nez - I've been playing Dead Rising for the first time pretty heavily this last week and I'd have to agree with most of what you have brought up but I would like to add that the original 360 game has so many good ideas, but poor execution imo. Its a great early 360 game sure, and for the first of its kind did pretty well. But I'm actually hoping they change a lot for the Wii version.

The friendly AI was terrible, but you learned to get around it. Ultimately making it to the security room is satisfying despite all of the frustration.

All of the boss fights are shit, pretty much. But you learn to cheese them out with silly tricks here and there to take advantage of poor AI and a shit ballistics system. That is to say, the guns in the game, suck balls.

And of course it all could have been so much better if they focused more on letting you kill zombies with no time limit and less random jeeps with convicts who are almost impossible to kill unless you've grinded the appropriate levels or got lucky enough to have the stupid AI to get themselves stuck driving constantly forward against a tree, who will just respawn later even if you manage to somehow kill them making the epic effort wasted...

Whoever thought that one up should be shot in the face.

@ Demtor- The Wii version will have drastic changes in gameplay, boss mechanics, and over all game design.

The bad news is that there will be less zombies and worse graphics. The good news is it will have a better camera, more readily available projectile weapons, a better aiming system, a better item management system, more types of enemies, a new save system, and no 72 hour time limit.

If the game is successful, we can hope that all that new stuff will also end up in Dead Rising 2.

It's all the fun of killing zombies without the fun or the zombies!

@ covah- Well, it's a good thing you have Dead Rising on the 360 to enjoy. For people like me, who actually thought the original had (gasp) too many zombies, this Wii port is looking just fine.

Don't get me wrong, I loved Dead Rising on the 360... for the first twenty minutes. Playing the game all the way through is like trying to eat 300 Chicken McNuggets. It's amazing at first, but then it gets boring, and by the end it's just like work.

On the other hand, Dead Rising for the Wii promise to be more of a buffet. It's got zombies, and birds, and dogs, and fat angry cop zombies with tazer guns. It may not offer the same level of decadence as a 300 piece Chicken McNugget meal, but that doesn't mean it wont taste great.

@ Coldbrand- Woah, you got me there. That is the first and probably only time anyone has got me thinking that Dead Rising Wii was a bad idea.

However, if you really want Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, it's relatively cheap to get going on your non-Japanese Wii.
