The Resident Evil series is still going strong, as Capcom announced today that another of its Wii titles has shipped over 1 million units worldwide. The game in question? Why it's none other than Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.
With the help of fairly recent hits such as The Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition (the other Capcom Wii game to ship over a million units), the zombie-infested franchise has sold more than 34.5 million units globally since its inception.
With all of this success, do you think we'll ever see a completely new (not a GameCube port) Resident Evil for Wii that's built from the ground up to fully utilize the system's unique capabilities, while at the same time not being a House of the Dead clone?

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Please Capcom, stop making all these wiimakes and rehashes and just focus on RE:5 damnit!
And also an entirely new RE for the Wii, ground up, with smart controls.
As for a new RE game specifically for the Wii, I'm all for it. Umbrella Chronicles was cool, but it didn't feel like RE to me.
i'd like to add that, i too would like a revamped version of RE2 and RE3. But RE2 mostly :)
i have the RE2 PS1(dual-shock ver) and GC versions
How about the next Z&W game sells a million, due to fans of the first. And Capcom did report Z&W sold about 300k, which is a high amount for a non-franchise game with little marketing.
nope.
Considering Wii is more powerful than GC and RE sales a sky high, there honestly isn't any reason why they shouldn't take a gamble.
Perhaps they should do a side story starring Barry as the lead. I don't know, just something fresh since Wii owners won't see RE5.
Like I said before, I'm positive is 80% of third-parties' line of thinking when dealing with Nintendo:
- If people don't buy the shitty ports/shovelware, obviously they only play Nintendo games. 3rd parties on Nintendos iz cursed.
- If people buy the shitty ports/shovelware, obviously we don't need to put in the effort for a "real" game. Nintendo iz for non-gamers.
Or, as said above, RE5 Gaiden, which would also be cool.
Why not just RE5? Any reason OTHER than assuming we know what RE5 will be like?
And the next Wii RE game will probably be another lightgun game.
Personally I'd prefer a new RE wii edition.
