Chin up, Wii owners. There’s a possibility that you too will someday be able to man the meat turret known as Chris Redfield in Resident Evil 5. Speaking with Reuters Japan, Capcom chief financial officer Abe Kazuhiko said that more Wii ports of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 titles wasn’t out of question, although the decisions would be made according to the sales of the title.
“We have not decided whether we are doing [more ports] or not doing [more ports] ,” Kazuhiko said. “Up until now, after releasing our PS3 and Xbox 360 games,” he continued, “we have brought them to the Wii. Basically, this is the approach we are considering taking.”
The man speaks the truth -- Dead Rising did eventually make it to the Wii. We wonder, though, if the controls in Resident Evil 5 will get better or worse once this port inevitably happens. There’s no way, right?

Powerstone would be so awesome though Gimic300, you're right.
Make something new or make a worthy port, not... not something like Dead Rising for Wii because that was such a shame. Maybe PowerStone if its not much to ask or anew Zack and Wiki directed in the right way.
As for an RE5 port? I think the dead rising port proved that it might not be a great thing, unless they redo it in the RE4 engine.
I think I might pass, though, because of the co-op thing. If they could do it properly (besides splitscreen) I might be interested.
A watered down port of Re 5 ?
No thank you.
----------------
-Due to memory and processing power limits, enemies will now be represented by untextured cubes.
-Since violent games don't sell well on the Wii, all guns will be replaced with radios
-Green herbs promote drug use, so no more health system. Sheva will now save you ala Erika in Prince of Persia when you die.
-Controls have been optimized for the Wii. There are no more "traditional controls" per se. Movement/combat/inv management is now entirely waggle-based (Make big circles with the Wiimote to use your radio)
-Less zombies, more babies/minigames
... do you even know what you are talking aboutt? Meeting a downgraded system could also remove features.
...although that could bea good thing, to not have pigmies or the ridiculous tribal suit...
Odds are this won't happen. Why don't you Wii-bots just get a 360 or PS3? Take your pick.
I seem to recall an announcement for the localization of a certain VS Capcom game recently that included a bunch of people asking for 360/PS3 ports. It goes both ways.
This has nothing to do with graphic whores, you're taking a game made for one console and porting it to a weaker one, see Dead Rising Chop Till Drop as evidence for what happens when you do that.
You see, if that game were ported to the 360/PS3, it wouldn't have shit online play, the graphics would probably be upgraded, and additional features would also be game.
Of course, it doesn't look bad at all, just not as good as say...Street Fighter 4.
RE5 needs some fixing, and that could be done with a Wii remake.
-"If it looks as good as RE4," It SHOULD, and i do mean SHOULD cuz i'm not holding my breath here
-"ditches co-op entirely" maaaaaybe
-"brings back the merchant and typewriters, ditches the cover system" ok, now you're just asking for miracles
-"and gives Chris Redfield normal sized arms" i stand corrected!, if they did this it would be on nothing less than divine intervention.
Basically as long as they do it with the same care as RE4 was done, even with watered down graphics it would be good for me, still, i won't expect anything until i actually have it in my hands.
It sounds like you just want another RE4, then.
