Here's the biggest bombshell of E3 2008 and it doesn't even have a thing to do with E3! The latest issue of Famitsu reveals that Dead Rising is coming out for the Nintendo Wii. Lots of people (especially Dale North) were expecting Capcom to reveal Dead Rising 2 today at their press conference, but instead got nothing but Lost Planet movie news.
I have no idea what the scans are saying, but there is one screenshot where Frank West is being grabbed by a zombie. The Wiimote comes on screen requiring you to shake the Wiimote to knock the zombie off, similar to Resident Evil 4 for the Wii.
And just to be sure, I just got off the phone with my Capcom contact and they have confirmed that Dead Rising is in fact coming out for the Wii.
[Thanks, Reaprar]

so i'm quite excited, considering i like this game and i don't have a 360.
and it's a port. but hell. who cares? he's photographed wars, you know.
Depends on whether it's just a half assed port or brings something new to the table.
Dead Rising on the Wii, wow, I wonder how the achievements are gonna work(they where an integral part of the original) plus how they'll sneak in waggle, not to mention the sheer amount of zombies onscreen at once.
:p Its not an exclusive game anymore.
if its like $30 then im down... ive messed around with it on friends' 360 ,as i dont have one, but if the price is right ill play through the story on my wii
What was "very poorly executed"? Sure, the text is hard to read on an SDTV, Otis could be annoying, some of the survivors can't fight their way out of a crowd of babies...but even still, I'm having a hell of a lot of fun with the game. Mini-chainsaws FTW.
That said, it'll be interesting to see how they port this. If they added content, maybe threw in a true free-roaming mode, I'd get it again.
thx.
Ps3 plz. Thx.
2. also, dead rising 2 plz kthxbai
What a waste.
Given the superb job they did with RE4 and Zack and Wiki, I will give them the benefit of the doubt on this one.
Still haven't gotten around to Dead Rising, though; I suck.
then I shall be buying one just for this game.
I love the game on xbox360 but hate the save system (which means I get all excited to play it every few weeks and then after 2hrs put it away to gather dust again for some weeks).
This is the sort of thing that would've gone over well had it been unvieled during Nintendo's conference.
Why would they hold back with this?
